An Evil Man

I made a little picture to help explain to the MAGAts why Pete Hegseth's utter ignorance about ASEAN actually matters, especially for a guy who says he wants to roll back Chinese influence.

I’m grateful to @acluct.bsky.social for organizing tonight’s town hall, connecting us with useful resources and organizations, giving us actionable steps we can take, and reminding us of the importance of coalition-building and community as we prepare to meet the challenges ahead.

The cardinal rule of these confirmation hearings? Do not say anything to upset Donald Trump.

Here is the truth about the LA wildfires www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Hegseth hearing is doing one thing incredibly well: it’s establishing that when his leadership at DoD fails, it’ll be clear that GOP Senators knew, excused it, and they own it. Serious concerns about experience & judgment are literally being laughed off.

The United States military exists to defend the American people. Not just Republicans. Not just Democrats. Just Americans. It is inexcusable that the process for such a critical position was politicized. It makes America less safe.

this shouldn’t be a trick question!

We can expect Trump will exploit every natural disaster to attack others rather than find solutions. Don’t waste energy being outraged. Stay focused on what you can do to provide support to help fix things. That can be donating, providing a helping hand or reminding people of real issues & facts.

Why is the media like this?
