A lover of humanity, democracy, and the US. Former gov't worker. Currently self-employed. Character & values matter… A LOT! Learning to use my voice.
As a former FBI employee, this article really moved me.
A few weeks ago, an important — and largely private — chapter in my life ended; I’m incredibly thankful to @lawfaremedia.org for giving me a forum to write the next one.
Goodbye to All That
My resignation from the FBI.

Wow, a lot of this went over my head but her 4th point about keeping business conglomerates from creating their own currency and what that could do to banks and the average American… not THAT I understood and it was NOT good! 😳

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

I haven’t posted much about my political opinions but, to me, they aren’t as much about politics as they are about what I believe is right and wrong. And right now there is a lot of wrong being done. 😢

I’m sitting in the parking lot of my grocery store and I see a Tesla parked kitty corner to me. I think to myself, I’d be so embarrassed to drive a Tesla… then I remember wait… I drive a Volkswagen.

Smiled when I realized the initials of BlueSky were BS. But I think we all have a little BS in us even if those aren’t our initials. 🌻.
