White supremacy is when Republican men and women in their 20s & 30s praising Hitler, genocide, and rape are “just kids”—but 18-year-old Michael Brown was no angel, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was a thug, 16-year-old Kalief Browder was a criminal, and 12-year-old Tamir Rice should’ve known better.😐

The reason we have rules of engagement isn’t to keep warfighters from killing our enemies.
It’s to keep them from killing a farmer with a shovel bc they thought it was a rifle and didn’t bother to wait to check.
Or a family in a car bc the driver looked nervous.
Or a boat full of fishermen.

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

In just two days the Trump administration has rhetorically expanded their bogeyman term from ‘antifa’ to ‘antifa-aligned.’
They are not hiding their goal of equating protest with terrorism.

I wonder White the difference could be...
Amazing how "Antifa" isn't actually an organization but still designated as a "terror group," while the KKK is an actual white supremacist "christian" terrorist organization that has mass murdered thousands of Black people and some white allies for 160 years—and is still not labeled a terror group.🤔

Legitimate question. How do we balance the need for mental health with the need to stay informed? The desire to let it all burn with the desire to build it back up? The urge to stop caring with the need for people who actually do care? It's exhausting.

The world feels like it's falling apart half the time and despair gets me all too frequently.
But today I met with a client for final signatures on this application we've been working on for over 18 months. It felt like I was selling her a house with so many signatures!

Learning how to use Blue Sky. Intentionally working on guarding my mental health. I work in what is currently a super difficult line of work, no need to shatter my brain further than necessary.

I remember a time, not too long ago, when American foreign policy was a bipartisan matter, and where we rallied around our leaders rather than try to tear them down in time of crisis. We need to return to that era so that we can be the United States of America to the rest of the world.
