I hope @captmarkkelly.bsky.social will use the free press he will be getting from this to make his case for 2028.
We need to bring real patriotism and honor back to the WH.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

My husband @captmarkkelly.bsky.social is a 25-year Navy combat pilot veteran. He served our country with strength, courage, and integrity.

The President called him a traitor and demanded he be executed. It is dangerous and wrong. Americans need to stand up and say so.
I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given.

The same is true for everyone who swear their oath.

Hope that clears things up.

We were all told over and over again to NOT OBEY UNLAWFUL ORDERS.
So its totally appropriate for a combat Vet like @captmarkkelly.bsky.social to remind servicemembers of their oaths.
Trump could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and Mike Johnson would say they deserved it

AHOD was bad.
Kathryn Bigelow ONCE AGAIN missed the mark on her portrayal of the military and the way crisis decisions are made.
@radiofreetom.bsky.social should know better.
If you want to see how service members really act in a crisis (the good and bad) watch The Outpost by @rodlurie.bsky.social.

Two White House staffers a week ago:
“The Epstein photos of POTUS are missing!”
“Where did you last see them?”
“In the East Wing, I think. What are we going to do if we can’t find them?”
“We will find them even if we have to tear the place apart!”

@rebeccakkatz.bsky.social maybe you and your Jewish compatriots at www.fight.agency can explain why you are not only supporting anti-Israel, BDS supporter Zohran Mamdani in NY, but are also working with anti-Israel candidate Graham Platner who has a SS Totenkopf tattoo?
Have you no shame?
October 21, 2025 at 6:35 PM
Why are Jews concerned about Mamdani?
Birmingham's SAG just blocked Israeli soccer fans from attending a match. Two BDS supporters seem to have made the decision.
Meanwhile in Sadiq Khan's London, police detained a Jew because his Star of David necklace was "antagonizing" Hamasnik protestors.

The Bernie bro Graham Platner, who is working with Mamdani advisor Morris Katz, has a Nazi SS Totenkopf tattoo.
I served with tons of Marines.
None of them had SS tattoos.
Explains his hatred of Israel and says a lot about DSA candidates like Mamdani.
Video shows Graham Platner with ‘troubling’ tattoo that appears to be a Nazi symbol
The Democratic U.S. Senate candidate told a podcast he got the skull-and-crossbones tattoo in 2007 after getting "very inebriated" with fellow Marines in Croatia, saying he is no "secret Nazi."

Zelensky should respond that he is willing to allow Russian forces to leave all of Ukraine's territories without harassment under a ceasefire deal.
Zelenskyy is taken aback by a question from a right-wing propagandist who asks him what concessions he's willing to make to Putin

The Trump Admin's propaganda has been debunked by multiple federal judges, including one Trump appointed—

And now even by their own reports.

They're peddling lies to justify zip-tying kids and detaining citizens—

And hoping you don't notice when the facts don't back them up.
Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

I hope Trump oversteps and tries to indict retired Marine Generals Kelly and Mattis.
I truly do.
Would be the biggest mistake of his life.

@timothysnyder.bsky.social is under the illusion too many academics have that universities play some significant role in world affairs.
All the protests did was alienate Jewish students and destroy property.
~1k IDF soldiers died bringing today’s outcome about.

To commemorate the murder of largely 1200 Jewish Israelis on 10/7, a 250k strong pro-Hamas protest was held yesterday in Amsterdam.
Surprising…
