Beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
#AltVet storytime. It’s Veterans Day so I thought I would celebrate by talking about my favorite veteran, my grandpa. He was a WWII era Navy veteran, in a unit we would now call the Seabees, but at that point were called the Construction Battalions (CBs is where we get the Seabees moniker). 1/?

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Well this just took the air out of my lungs. All that's left now is overwhelming anger.
Impeachable.
Demolition crews began tearing down part of the White House to build Trump's long-desired ballroom — despite his pledge that construction of the addition wouldn't "interfere" with the existing building.

The addition costs $250 million. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

"I ducked down to check whether I was bleeding. As I was crouched behind the van, clearly injured and no threat to anyone, those agents took aim and shot me in the face."

This from @leighkunkel.bsky.social was incredibly powerful to hear at the #JournalismIsNotACrime rally. Please read it.

Should this man be in any law enforcement position?

Now ask this: do you believe this man will face any consequences for this violent assault on an unarmed, emotionally distressed woman?

This needs to be on every news broadcast until it reaches far and wide. On all the social media sites. On broadcast news. In the papers. Time to make some noise. Call your reps. This is so wrong.
Reports from the Miami Herald reveal that a staggering 1,200 people have gone missing from just this one facility. Alcatraz is now drawing comparisons to Auschwitz.

As a reminder, I’m on the board at Bluesky, which means you should consider me extremely biased, even as this article isn’t really about Bluesky. The writer Jerusalem Demsas wants you to stay on Twitter. In "The case for staying on Twitter," she admits the site is effectively overrun by neo-Nazis, but she argues that people should remain on Elon Musk's platform to fight for it.

Charlie Kirk wasn’t a political activist.

He was a hate-monger masquerading as an activist.

Wanting gays to be stoned to death isn’t a political position - it’s hate.

Saying George Floyd had it coming and Derek Chauvin should be pardoned, isn’t a conservative position - it’s hate
