"Their expertise ranges from ordering war crimes to covering up sex crimes to engaging in all manner of financial criminality. They’re a diverse bunch, from tough guys outfitted in combat gear and masks, to smooth operators in tuxedoes who mingle at state dinners." www.thebulwark.com/p/sex-crimes...

"[Pete Hegseth] is an unprofessional—and sometimes unstable—appointee who does not seem to comprehend the seriousness of the office he occupies, does not respect the senior officers who serve this country, and does not seem to care at all about the people of the U.S. military"

Trump has flushed out the hidden worst of us in society, politics, the church, law enforcement, healthcare, business, academia, and now the military. We must not forget who they are or the company they keep!!

Informative!! "What we have seen perpetrated by the #RSF meets all the legal and political criteria for #genocide. The reason that there is any question about this is that the world no longer agrees on the definition of genocide, and it no longer means anything." www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

Oh My!

"WhatAbout'ism" with adults is annoying. Rather than patching a gaping wound, they'd stand over victims lecturing about flu shots. Let's concentrate on the task at hand.

Don't confuse wealth creation with greed and materialism. It's idealistic + useless to pretend the World economy can revert to some form of socialist barter system. Capitalism has proven to be the fastest way out of poverty. Black Communities should embrace and master it, not demonize and resist.

Oh, so it's about oil, not drugs?

Who in #SteelerNation thought Rodgers was a good idea? Who in #SteelerNarion still believes Tomlin can get them back to the Super Bowl?

If only our ELECTED "LEADERS" motivated, organized and guided Veterans, the Intelligence Community, Federal Workers towards the best strategies to end this. Are they seeing any messaging from Democrats that let's them know they'll be protected, if they come forward?

Why. Not. You!!

More proof unqualified personnel are being unleashed on American streets. Also more confirmation that the only way to reestablish any semblance of trust on either side of the border, requires total abolishment of current agency to start completely over. Use retired Agents/Officers to fill gap.

When Mark Carney sets specific goals for Canada to "diversify away" from its reliance on the US—making headlines in Canada but not the US—hear that for what it is: Close partners and allies looking elsewhere for better friends. This is the silent way that the US loses its pointless trade war.

No more pretense or excuses. Trump and his team have made the white supremacist foundations of this project explicit and clear. If you enable this you need to face who and what you are. But you can always choose another way. Choose humanity. Decency. Equality. Democracy.

My daughter use to tell me I can't help but to look for threats everywhere. As an adult she realizes that we don't have to "look" for threats, because most are obvious and all around us. What we need to "look" for are managements or escapes. Now, she blames me for her paranoia/awareness, Lol

I really like @governorwalz.mn.gov I rank him high on my list of 3 (E. Warren and Pritzker) so far, I could give my vote for President. Why is @kristenwelker.bsky.social trying to drive a wedge between him and Harris this early? It's not relevant to any current issue, but he handled it well.

It took Kristi Noem less than 30 seconds to blatantly lie about vetting of Afghans, while on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." She promptly blamed Biden, even though Trump's Admin ultimately granted asylum to shooter. BTW, No one who served with Afghan Advisors would support a blanket ban.

“Home and abroad.” A notable sentiment given that the administration has labeled not just the people it is killing on these boats as “terrorists” but also domestic political opponents.

Honduras has always been special to me. I was there as a young Marine. I saw organized, bold actions of a few with guidance, disrupt government in neighboring Countries. Based on the ongoing consequences, the U.S. should stay out of ALL Central American politics, unless human rights atrocities.

I'm Thankful for my journey. Grateful for the lessons it taught. When I look back, I can recognize those who looked out for me as best they could. Sometimes, just a hug. I didn't always see them in the moment, but I was never left on my own. My greatest blessing will be to be a blessing to them.

Israel is currently attacking Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon and a land stealing raid into a Syrian village killed women and children. Let's be honest, if they weren't White people, the Intn'l Community would have stopped these monsters by now. Israel is a Terrorist-State! mondoweiss.net/2025/11/isra...

After years of Michigan Wolverine football, I'm officially done. I feel the downhill slide coming. The program isn't being ran right in the back office. I've always loved Texas A&M. May just come on back home to Texas.

People who need to hear someone is fighting for them are moving from one job to the next to make ends meet. They're trying to keep their family together. They can't afford cable news. They can't make fancy galas. They aren't at the popular church. They need leaders to meet them where they are.

This list of losses is devastating. The lack of organized response from Black Politicians, Civil Rights Orgs, Entertainers, Athletes + others with platforms and/or wealth is saddening. We've elevated weakness. Civil Rights Act wouldn't get signed with todays leaders. www.axios.com/2025/11/29/f...

Fight Local! Strong, self-sufficient, but collaborative + coordinated communities are the ultimate resistance to rogue government. Force despots to defend at every level from every direction, making control unviable. True Power is the People. The government is only as strong as we allow it to be.

The Good News is we no longer have to worry about Republicans pulling us out of NATO. The Bad News is NATO will expel us. We're approaching a point where Allies won't share a cab with us, let alone intel or combat troops. When do we admit our government is compromised? www.wsj.com/world/russia...

Making it to this season of my life.

I agree wholeheartedly. I believe hope and optimism is the fuel that pushes us past the fear of standing up to move towards something better. You can't be hopeful, optimistic + stagnant. If you are, you don't really believe that people can be better. You've given up, but with a smile to hide it.

The Republican Party thrives on putting Hate out in the Universe. What they're forgetting is Karma. Karma, however, NEVER forgets. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/h...

So "Targeting" is optional with this ref crew in the #Nebraska vs. #Iowa game #Big10 #CFB

We have lost the high-ground. I'm outraged, disappointed and embarrassed by the actions of our government. Unfortunately, these actions will be used as justification for future atrocities against our Military personnel and Civilians. Trump, Hegseth and Rubio have unnecessarily endangered us all.

"A boost of support from international actors and the African diaspora could go a long way in creating space for Sudanese women to play a central role in Sudan's future." www.rand.org/pubs/comment...

I have so much to be Thankful for. Truly a blessed man and I am Grateful. I hope that I was someone's blessing today. It's hard out there for far too many really good people, just trying to make it. I pray that they get the opportunity they need to get back on their feet.

Watching the #DallasCowboys vs #KCChiefs game and learning that Post Malone is a Country singer. I always thought he was a Rapper. I can hear why he's popular. These are some pretty catchy songs.

No One (of Color) Is Safe!

If the U.S. would simply approach the African people as equals in business, there would be no room for despots to rise. Instead, we play locals and government against each other, because instability is great for exploitation. China gives us an opportunity to fix past mistakes and be the good guys.

Never have my senses conflicted as much as they did in Africa. I was throughout Central and West Africa and will never forget its natural beauty. Its people victimized, yet the kindest and most welcoming of any place I've been. You almost forget monsters exist. Monsters fed by the West back then.

Persecuting Christians with Christianity.

We can't have a safe, secure, diverse, equitable, inclusive, innovative, educated, prosperous and globally respected Country and Trump. It's one or the other.

I despise everything about [...]. If it happens, I wouldn't have an ounce of sorrow for [...], [...] family, [...] friends, [...] acquaintances, or [...] supporters. I only hope [...] lingers in pain for a bit. I doubt I'd care if he/she/they got away with it. I refuse to be the better person.

There's no room for debate on Schumer. He must go. Jeffries now seems to be finally getting it, but it's just far too late. This current fight requires bold, aggressive and decisive action. Jeffries has to get permission from too many special interests groups, including AIPAC, so he still must go.

Booker T. was right. We went full Talented Tenth after Integration. Progress as a people stagnated. My fellow "well-educated" and psuedo-integrated are too terrified of losing status to protect their own. Meanwhile...Those in our communities fight with tenacity, plus trust and LOVE of the masses.

Self-sufficiency is not Isolationist. Having the resources to take care of basic needs and the capacity to further innovate, doesn't mean that our communities aren't communicating, collaborating and coordinating with other self-sufficient communities. It increases it and makes our Cities stronger.

Instead of screaming at enemies for doing what enemies should be doing as enemies, Black people should be holding accountable those we've given platforms. Minus an occasional complaint about Trump, most are still talking about dumb shit that have no factor on the growing risks the community faces.

I would like an understanding of the strategies of @cbc.house.gov, #NAACP, #UrbanLeague, #NationalBlackChamber, plus others who have made lavish livings claiming to be representatives/protectors of Black Communities. What further risks + threats against Blacks must be seen, before organized action?

The Rev. Jesse Jackson's family says that the civil rights leader has been released from a hospital where he was treated for a rare neurological disorder.

This is what they're willing to publicly do to sitting U.S. Elected Officials, imagine what they're willing to do covertly to the rest of us. Now that leaders of Facebook, Apple, Google, Oracle, Palantir + other tech companies have allied with Trump, none of us are safe under this Administration.
