Gender is a set of performative expectations based upon what is believed to be in your pants.

I love how headlines couch a very real problems with uncertainty so as to make sure to leave plenty of space for dismissal.

We just hit 1,000 followers for our veteran-led network showing the next generation what positive masculinity is.

We aren't Andrew Tate or Joe Rogan. We're former fighter pilots, Navy SEALs, Green Berets, Marines, Officers and public servants.

Can you help us hit 5,000?

We have proven we can protest. Now we must take the next step to make clear that the people have the power

Following a weekend of turmoil in Los Angeles, including immigration raids and civil unrest, thousands of protesters gathered in front of Camp Pendleton on Sunday to protest the deployment of active duty military against civilians in Los Angeles.

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

I want to make it clear that there is no state of "lawlessness" in Los Angeles right now. Any such reports from ANY media are parroting the regime's desires to weaponize our military against protestors.

This Will absolutely hurt military families. The amount of #EFMP (that exceptional family member program) in need of assistance within the military communities often prevents promising career posts for active duty due to the lack of support for the needs of spouses and children.

When speaking of empathy for those brave enough to flip, I have helpful thoughts.
It takes bravery to step away. Such a move can be admired, thus encouraging.
Empathy comes from understanding how hard it can be to escape the algo. Empathy comes from patience and speaking with people in person.
Though not the biggest fan of Occupy Democrats, they had given me the opportunity to publish my mea culpa that I was leaving MAGA, & acknowledging my mistake of supporting MAGA, Trump and my governor, Ron DeSantis. I never thought anyone would care that I left MAGA.

I have always said “patriarchy hurts everyone”
Severe gender roles created by a patriarchal social structure is a toxic structure. These social expectations are reinforced by parasitic corporations that offer products to ease the anxieties created by the system in the first place.

250 years ago, Americans rejected a mad king.

On June 14, we’re taking to the streets again for a nationwide day of defiance to say NO KINGS.

Over 600 events are planned in all 50 states to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
