Others' well-being leads to your own well-being. That is self-evident. Don't wait till it affects you. It already does.
It shouldn’t take a slur that impacts you personally, or losing your healthcare or SNAP, or being forced to sell your farm, or having to watch a loved one get unjustly detained and deported...to walk away from a madman.

Cruelty isn’t strength.

Reject it.

Always.

A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

It’s almost as if there were signs!

Lmao, I'm about to talk about etymology on a live radio show, and the producer sent a last-minute email to advise me that some of my usual Words Unravelled antics "might not fly live on our airwaves" and to keep in mind that the audience "appreciates clean topics and clean language" 😆

20-year-old West Virginia National Guard member, Sarah Beckstrom, died a day after volunteering to serve in DC so that others could enjoy Thanksgiving with their families. She deserves our gratitude, not political exploitation by a shameless president who scapegoats immigrants to swell his power.

Let's not confuse the people giving the stupid orders with the people who have to deal with following them, who are often good and decent people.

If you work in the healthcare industry, please remember who you're there to serve – your patients. Watch, learn, and repost.

You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up.

Your 70% number is just a fabrication.

And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.

Didn’t the FBi pull a lot of personnel from anti terrorism to put them on deportations?

Actually the whole security establishment pivoted

@timmiller.bsky.social argues with an anti-liberty hatriot.

The hatriot here says that it is ok for the federal government to infringe on citizens' rights because they can sue.

It is not "give me liberty or give me the right to sue the government for my lose of liberty."
@timmiller.bsky.social: "George Retes is a security guard outside a marijuana farm. He's a veteran. He's a U.S. citizen…ICE agents broke into his car. He was arrested and sent him to prison. He did not get a phone call. He was held there for three days and missed his child's third birthday."

SCOOP—In August, nearly 200 current/former FEMA staffers published the Katrina Declaration, a whistleblower letter detailing all the dangers posed by current leadership.

All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:
FEMA employee terminated for signing whistleblower letter
It appears to be a major violation of federal whistleblower protections and constitutional rights.
