Gay, lefty Army vet. Music nut. I grew up on a farm in Ohio, moved away for many years, and am back again. Been with my partner, Mike, 39 years. I am an old soul who strives to be kind and loving - but don’t fuck with me! ☮️

There are 72 Republican veterans currently serving in Congress. Maybe a couple of them could weigh in on this.
Mass federal layoffs deliver a gutting one-two punch to America's veterans

Kluwe has my heart. Thank you Chris.
Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

Saddens me. Unbelievable…
This is one of the most poignant quotes I’ve ever read, from a Ukrainian journalist who fled fighting in Mariupol. In today’s New York Times.
For all the insane politics in the US, it still remained a beacon of democratic hope for millions internationally.
Trump has extinguished that.

These men aren't planning for peace. They are planning a heist.
As bombs continue to fall on Kyiv, US collaborates with the invader, behind the backs of the invaded, to cut a deal to split the spoils of Ukraine's natural wealth.
As distasteful a picture as you'll see on the international stage.

Ohio GOP Legislators to change voter’s approved marijuana law.
The majority of Ohioans — like most Americans — support legalizing marijuana. Republican lawmakers are seeking to either roll back or rescind provisions in the state’s adult-use marijuana law — a law that was approved by 57% of voters.
