How I feel about my country right now

At tonight’s West Point Founders Day in Orlando, classmate from Class of 75 and former Supe LTG (R) Bob Caslen & I had the distinct honor of moderating a discussion with MG (R) John Raaen, class of 1943, who landed at Omaha Beach with the Rangers on D-Day. Just an awesome evening!

Me: "I succ my sister on him" I said, sending auntie to chase after my toddler. @wisecracker.bsky.social : "Uh....I believe you mean sicced..." Me: "Just wait till I've succ my bluesky friends on you."

When 47 verbally attacked and threatened Governor Mills of Maine, I felt triggered. My biological father used to speak in a similar manner, always threatening and demeaning, especially toward women. This is how abusers operate. I know I’m not alone in having encountered people like this in my life..

They learned something from their first term. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a grift is a good guy with principles. So this time they're firing all the good guys with principles.

Dad! You have pork pie!!! Pork pie is our FAVOURITE!

Pet peeve: discounts based on app usage. I refuse to participate. This is price discrimination against the poor and technologically less abled. My mother pays double at Kroger for a pint of strawberries because she has a flip phone? Fuck them.

In more positive news, we had a good activist drop in space earlier. Appreciate everyone who came, shared, and did their work. Looking forward to next month's drop in.

No f*cking comment…

Lessons kids learn quick: When Mom is pissed at Dad, you don't let her brush your hair!!!

Just in case.

I don’t hand out legal advice because I’m not a lawyer, and I only speak from personal experience, but I’d recommend following your federal agency and/or union guidelines on how to respond to the “five bullets” email.

Good night and stay safe ♥️

“A video shared by Tarrio on social media on Saturday showed him following the officers, Michael Fanone, Harry Dunn and Aquilino Gonell, through … a Washington hotel that was hosting the Principles First summit, a conference where one of the officers received a ‘profile in courage’ award.”

So many people on rallies all around the world, just thank you for still being here🥹🫶🏻

I have studied relations between Russia and the European far right for years, and while there may be ideological similarities between the two sides, Russia’s primary goal in this cooperation is to weaken Europe — politically, socially, and economically. 1/2

I thought my husband was trying to apologize to me by singing Wonderful Tonight right now in the next room. 🥹 how sweet. Then i found out he's just practicing for a gig next weekend. 😳 Jerk.

Oops.

Not asking much… Make America Normal Again

That’s it.

I find it incomprehensible that so many Democratic politicians post on Twitter but NOT on Bluesky. I post on both platforms whenever possible, but I’ll post on Bluesky FIRST. I mean, WTF? 🤬

It took ten years, but the NYT finally got there

Russian propaganda spreads fake claim about creation of 'movement' in Kharkiv advocating for presidential elections Propagandists have forged photos with campaign posters to create the illusion of 'support' for their narratives within Ukrainian society. www.ukrinform.net/rubric-factc...

A quick act of resistance against this nonsense, as well as a show of solidarity with our fellow Americans who are federal civil service workers, is to send five things you accomplished this last week to [email protected] …and go.

To ALL brave military men & women who proudly serve our Nation, I BEG of you!! When the time comes, REMEMBER your OATH to your Country! You serve the United States, its citizens, its allies & partners. NOT one demented man, not his criminal cronies & NOT their Un-Constitutional, Fascist agenda!

The heartbreak. Trump claims USAID is bankrupting America—it’s less than 1% of the budget. Meanwhile, the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is gutting the largest food aid provider. He could end world hunger & still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Not just greed. We’re watching evil at work.

Week’s work review: 1. I put my left foot in. 2. I took my left foot out. 3. I put my left foot in and shook it all about. 4. I did the Hokey Pokey and turned myself about. 5. That’s what it’s all about.

Please join us in spreading the proposed new seal of the Commonwealth of Virginia, modified for modern days.

I hesitate to even share this because Tarrio is purely about marketing himself but the sad fact is it needs to be shared because we shouldn't be letting heroes who defended the Capitol be harassed by Proud Boys unnoticed. That is the height of disgusting. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Apparently, Elon's AI is not a fan of him or the Felon

Living through a fascist coup is hard enough—teaching U.S. History during this time adds another layer of difficulty. Right now, I’m covering the Progressive Era. Theodore Roosevelt’s Square Deal aimed to favor neither capital nor labor, offering fairness to both the rich and the poor. 1/

I’ve been targeted for death in a bomb threat received at the Principles First Summit where I spoke today. To be clear, I’ve been threatened by far more capable people during my career. It won’t stop my advocacy for democracy and the Constitution: x.com/Acosta/statu...

Our German supporters made us realize we made a mistake, and we want to acknowledge it. Germany, you’re in our thoughts. While we’re relieved that AfD was defeated, we understand this is not a moment for celebration. There is still much work ahead, and we stand in solidarity with you.

Himes: "It just looks like an episode of The Sopranos. 'Give us your minerals or we're not gonna help you fight a bloody butcher.' I mean, is this really we want the greatest country in history to be known for -- some mafia thing? ... this president is standing with the bad guy"
