Graduated HS in ‘71, drew a “361” (of 365) in the draft lottery so too late to be drafted for Vietnam. I am concerned about climate change and equality along with responsible and legit government.

🧵 The GOP is making a catastrophic mistake: They're setting precedents assuming they'll stay in power forever. But they won't. And when Democrats regain power every norm the GOP broke will be used against them. Here's how: (1/10) #Politics #GOP #Democracy #Trump

Trump’s Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth announced on Thursday that the 20 U.S. Army soldiers awarded the Medal of Honor, for their participation in the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre, may keep them.

Awesome, California!! Way to go!! My mouth dropped open the day they tackled Senator Padilla to the floor in the hallway - totally disgusting and totally racist/ total PIGs.
States can arrest them and impound them for having the wrong license plates on their vehicle. Run for warrants and imprison them. In CA we can now imprison them for wearing masks … in a few more days!!!
Oh and feds can’t pardon state convictions!!!
