A full third of federal government employees are veterans. Elon and co think fed employees are a bunch of granola eating liberals but they're sorely mistaken. Rendering hundreds of thousands of veterans unemployed with cuts to their VA healthcare and no job prospects is a recipe for an insurgency.

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

40 years ago, it would have been unthinkable for the president of the United States to repeat Russian propaganda about Ukraine. It's remarkable how far we have fallen with Donald Trump.

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

You know what, Bill? I have been wondering about this myself. Is it fear that is keeping so many people, (including ex-Presidents), with power and platforms silent? If so, wow. But what else could it be?

These days, it feels like I am either working (advocating and organizing) or ingesting beauty in nature. Very little in between, although we are watching Dark Winds, which I like very much. Here is some natural beauty from the beach a few days back. It's baby season.

See how what happens in one place affects everyone around the world? We are all interdependent. None of us stands alone. The misinformation flowing from JD Vance's mouth into the ether causes those who suck on the teat of misinformation to act in real world ways.

📌URGENT: The Associated Press is one of the foremost news operations in the world. Without it, most media entities could not survive. 📌Well, the AP has now been barred from the White House. I'd suggest very strongly that any media that gets its news from AP takes a damn stand here in solidarity.
