Once again, and during a war, trump seeks to screw veterans by ending preference policies that began after the Civil War. Read more at: www.stripes.com/veterans/202... Source - Stars and Stripes

I’m usually a good tipper. But 126%? I appreciate Capital One for notifying me.

This is why Dick the Butcher suggested in Shakespeare’s Henry VI to first kill all the lawyers. Lawyers are defenders of justice. As Olivia Rutigliano said “lawyers are the most fundamental defense against the grossest manifestations of power-hungry antics wrought by the scum of humanity.”

He just sits and stares at it.

The beginnings of a deadly quagmire. Drone warfare is very different from what US troops have ever faced. Iran has thousands and putin now is providing Iran with intelligence, satellite imagery & tactics for targeting US troops.

Baseball prices. Too high?

My sister is a fighter.

This is so wrong. Vietnam veterans were treated like crap. Don’t repeat that shameful conduct. Put the blame squarely where it belongs - POTUS, the GOP & Congress. But those who never served will never get it.

Ebony, while upside down against my arm, likes to watch me play video games.

Ivory doesn’t need two pencils. She uses a pen.

“Ni…., I am a racist and I’ll say that to the whole world.” said Crystal Wilsey to two black customers. Of course she’s fired. But then? Her fundraiser on the Christian crowdfunding site GiveSendGo has raised more than $100,000. www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

One reason our cats always are kept indoors - the outdoors cats are a little wild and definitely hungry.

Epstein on MAGA’s hero: *I’ve met some very bad people, none as bad as trump, not 1 decent cell in his body *trump knew about the girls. *trump spent hours at my home with 1 of the victims. *I’m the one able to take him down. *Donald is fucking crazy, borderline insane. *I know how dirty donald is.

We miss our recently passed Shorty. My spouse convinced me to adopt two new kittens - Ebony and Ivory. Despite being abused and blinded in one eye, Ebony (and Ivory too) loves human contact.

I was asked to tell the story of my military service during the Vietnam war which interview now is part of the Veterans History Project, American Folklife Center, Library of Congress - collection # AFC/2001/001/89748

Our last hour with Stubby, an American bobtail. He loved to play fetch; he’d play until his little heart would burst if we let him. He slept at my wife’s head & rushed to greet us if we were out. We and his brother, Shorty, will dearly miss him.

The only reasons for his posts: He’s blowing smoke to distract from the epstein coverup & his admin’s failures. He’s a madman who’ll start a war & use war powers to silence all opposition & dissent w/the blessing of SCOTUS & likely more power granted to him by the GOP Congress - before the midterms.

We’re heartbroken. 17 YO Stubby appears to be close to the end. Still eating, drinking & using his litter box but he’s lost weight & his walk is unstable & very slow. He no longer sleeps at my wife’s head. He used to love to play fetch. Now he stays in his condo. It’s such a hard decision to make.

My spouse bought me a caramel apple as a treat. It came with instructions! Was she sending me a message?

A proper, eloquent rant.

Hiking alongside wild burrows.

Today is National Purple Heart Day. I honor my father-in-law, severely wounded fighting fascism, and all who have given their blood in the defense of our democracy.

They said they’d first come for criminal “illegal” immigrants. They came for non-criminal “illegal” immigrants. They came for legal immigrants. They came for students legally here. They came for foreigners on vacation or working in the US. All locked up and if citizens get mixed in, no matter. Next?

The owner was notified and did nothing. Then the owner fired the employee who took the video. They remain open.

@specialkhersoncat.bsky.social posts many riveting videos showing how real and deadly putin’s war is. It’s been a long time since I served, the conduct of war has changed significantly. In the end, it’s still as frightening as ever, maybe more so.

My new hat.

I visited a Nazi death camp; truly a life altering experience. In the adjacent museum, every single picture of Hitler is scratched over, marked up and spit on. While we can’t spit on them, I’d prefer we do the same to trump’s images on BlueSky.

The infamous bank robber Willie Sutton was asked why he robbed banks. His answer: That’s where the money is. Now our infamous potus goes to Saudi Arabia. Why?

The guy who wants to shut down Harvard and other universities because he says they don’t sufficiently provide for the safety of Jewish students and allow pro-Palestinian speech wants to accept a $400 million gift from the principal sponsor of Hamas. www.fdd.org/analysis/202... And he pardoned 👇🏽

ID these MFs. So, they can be doxxed. Make them fear their actions. Here’s the first of many photos I will post of the Worcester Gestapo. Let’s dox these clowns and make their lives miserable. Please share.

ICE can stop & question you simply for this: you’re not white, you’re driving a station wagon (or walking while “dressed as a Mexican”) & you’re within 100 miles of the border. The warrantless detention is approved by SCOTUS. Now, noem seeks to extend that authority to home searches within the Zone.

The deadline for “Real ID” is upon us. It’s supposed to be more secure. But consider this: Luigi Mangione used an alias on a fake NJ license to check into the NY hostel before he killed Brian Thompson. It appears to be a Real ID.

The NFL fined the Falcons & DC Ulbrick $250k & $100k respectively for failing to prevent disclosure of confidential info - the telephone number of Shedeur Sanders. Now consider our Sec of Defense criminally disclosing sensitive, confidential battle plans. No fine. No charge.

Arguments for or against the death penalty aside, it astounds me that the guy who traveled 9 hours to “stop the invasion,” killing 23 & wounding dozens because they are brown didn’t get the death penalty in TX. Texas! Where they propose the death penalty for getting an abortion.

We resist so that their deaths were not in vain.

Harvard is the only law school I applied to that rejected my application. Yet today, I feel obligated to make a donation to the university.

Now is the time for every military service member, every National Guard member, to ask themselves; Will I beat and shoot my fellow Americans if ordered to do so?

Reagan had trickle down economics. trump has piss on you economics.

OMFG - A relative of mine made the craziest MAGA claim to date. Cutting health care, health research, leaving the W.H.O. etc, is fine b/c in a few months, a “MedBed” that can cure everything will be available so health ins, doctors, researchers, hospitals won’t be necessary.

A MAGA cult member tried to tell me musk’s salute was not a Nazi salute because it “started at his heart” and every picture or film from that era shows nazis never started at the heart. So I posted this video - check it out at about 35-36 seconds in. He hasn’t replied. m.youtube.com/watch?v=qDRY...

Today is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. 🇺🇸All honor to my brothers and sisters who served, especially those who sacrificed everything. I still cry for you. www.vietnamwar50th.com/about/nation...

I’ve seen nightmarish sights during my military tour; bloated dead bodies, body pieces, flesh melting off a screaming burned soldier, the smell of death, friends KIA. I am good most of the time. But trump’s treatment of vets, his DEI bullshit, triggers my PTSD & I have to fight not to cry.

The trump administration is bombing Yemen, asserting that the Houthi attacks on shipping are “a menace to global trade.” What impact are trump’s tariffs, his disengagement with NATO and his allegiance to putin have on global trade?
