Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

Training session. “Sir, yes sir” crossed with “parkour!” vibes

Dear media: if you can't bother to post the actual court opinion could you at least name the case clearly so I can pay the PACER fees to post it for you?

“What do you expect the democrats to do? They’re the MINORITY!” Let me tell you about another minority that wanted power so fucking badly that they scaled the walls of a building until one of them got shot. You don’t get to say “none of this is normal!” and then insist the only weapon is normalcy.

Sure, these absolutely monstrous EOs will impact literally everyone I love and cherish, but I'm really glad that the democrats are bravely ignoring that "noise" to focus on their most important goal: Asking us for money to help them lose even more spectacularly next time.

Sometimes, even in late middle age, one needs one’s mommy. I’m grateful I still have my (very flawed) mother. As a mother myself, it amazes and humbles me how much power is in that relationship.

4 years ago I worried over adopting a rescue Jack Russell Terrier because, well, he’s a JRT. Did it anyway. FF to tonight, after seeing a show with dogs doing cool stunts, I decided to start the journey to teach my JRT to give me his paw. It took 10 mins. By April I’ll have him doing my taxes.

He stayed sitting and didn’t react. Such a good boy.

Why do people think that shoving a fist in a dog’s face is a friendly gesture???!!! I am trying to civilize my JRT. He is sitting quietly next to me because I have worked very hard to keep him from lunging at you and others like you. Then you stick your hand in his face?

This is very well said. Trolls need bridges to live under. Don’t build ones to them

Don’t ever let anyone tell you, you’re a dog. Dogs don’t climb trees.

fascism is stopped when enough people say one of two things: 1) "nah, I'm not doing that" 2) "nah, you're not doing that" a lot of people want to imagine how they'll say the second thing, but you should really start practicing the first one

I’m putting down a marker. Someone in the incoming administration, in the first 100 days, will say “It’s what plants crave.” You heard it here first, folks.
