Ye gods, Tapper. Pick a GD side. You excoriate Kegseth one day, prop up his homophobic BS the next (and during Pride, FFS).
No one doubts Peterson's heroism, but it's not a zero sum game. Milk was a Navy vet before he was an activist, and the Navy has other ships.
Stop supporting fascism.

Sweet geezus, @schumer.senate.gov.
Seriously? SERIOUSLY? This how you expect to lead your minority party in opposition to a now-out-in-the-open coup?
Every day you stay in your position, you jeopardize and harm this country's ability to reject Trump's power grab and curb GOP predations.
RESIGN.

It has been extremely, cathartically, deliciously easy to be righteously and rightfully angry and anxious here in BlueSky these past two weeks, so I'm going to post more active and positive posts about what we need to do and what will make these dark times lighter.

The only consolation is that I think that Hegseth's recidivism will hoist him in his own petard before the summer ends...
But sadly, that means there will be victims and they will be unjustly pilloried for his crimes.
