January 6, 2021 was the most shameful day in American history. It should live in infamy, as should the traitor who refused to accept the election results and incited the attack on the U.S. Capitol — Donald J. Trump.

The lesson of January 6th is that it does absolutely no good to prosecute the the violent foot soldiers if you're not going to prosecute the leaders and hold them accountable for their sedition under the full force of the law.

Is there anything in the new legislation to mitigate or end the practice of carers on zero hours contracts dropping shifts or taking weeks at a time off work with little or no notice, leaving people with inadequate or no care? If not, why not?

Captain Mark Kelly earned his rank.
Now his decades of service are being attacked by a drunk and a draft dodger.
All because he reminded our military to stay true to their oath, his right as both a veteran and an American.

We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.
We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

The notion that Mark Kelly committed sedition by telling troops to follow only legal orders is insane
And Hegseth's attempt to take away his retirement pay because he exercised his First Amendment rights to ensure our troops FOLLOW THE LAW is vindictive
Hopefully Kelly will challenge its legality

This is designed to have a chilling effect on all retired service members. The message is that if you speak out, you risk your retirement pay.

While the final US military operation last weekend might have been under cover of darkness, the build-up to it was out in the open for all to see.
I've constructed some timelines of the immediate build-up covering both the strikes and the supporting actions...

This is just as significant as Maduro’s seizure. The inability of governments to collect tax from multinational companies is a key factor in the relative poverty of the Global South. Trump’s USA has gained extraordinary exemption from a scheme to mitigate it.
