I have a family history of men fighting fascism on foreign shores. They would be beyond appalled that their own country is allowing fascism to seize control. As a vet, I'm appalled and I'm always looking for the vets at protests who are proudly wearing their Foxtrot Delta Tango hats. #fdtsolidarity
@addiane.bsky.social Happy birthday to my beautiful first child! You are deserving of so much love and joy! My life is immeasurably better for having you in my life. Have a beautiful day, month, year, and life. I hope to see you soon--big hugs coming your way!

Never forget who to blame. It was Trump who always hated ObamaCare, that pushed for ACA subsidies to end. It was Trump that was dinning on lobsters with Billionaires while fighting the courts to Starve Kids, taking SNAP away. Trump shutdown the government, but you 8 idiots gave him his win!

On this Veterans Day, I think about Tr*mp firing the VA schedulers, so our vets can't make appts to see their doctors. I think of our vets who will get pneumonia and die bc the VA isn't allowing COVID shots. I think about how my father served 30 yrs for a country he wouldn't recognize now.

Happy Veteran's Day. Don't let all the sacrifices of our vets who honorably served to go to waste. They bravely fought fascism--we can honor them by fighting it too, with everything we've got.

Trump's tariffs are hitting veterans hard. Whether they're farming, running small businesses, or just trying to make ends meet, veterans are paying the price for failing trade policies.

They fought for America—now they're fighting to get by.

The Department of Labor's weird *American jobs for (white?) Americans* ad is "European blood-and-soil nationalism replacing American patriotism."

Over 800,000 Arizonans are still without representation because GOP leadership refuses to swear her in. It's time to let the House know that this is unconstitutional and unfair. Swear her in!

Weed has always paid off for the godfathers of stoner comedy. Now they’ve built a company that sells THC-infused edibles, drinks and of course some tasty bud, all of which brings in some serious green.

Actual review on Walmart for TP--made me laugh!

Well, it does the one job it's made for so that's probably a plus. It also doesn't feel like sand paper. I've used toilet paper in jail so I know how bad it can get... I just realized the review asked for pictures..."
