The Hegseth story is a narrative being pitched right over the plate, underhanded, and the Democrats can’t bring themselves to call for Hegseth and co to be fired

Nailed it.
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

This isn't some fictional zombie apocalypse series you can watch, turn off, and walk away from into the radiant light of day.
This is a coordinated group of actual human beings living among you, with dangerous agendas they will not abandon unless opposed.

1 - there is no key to happiness, but there's no lock, either.
2 - a glow stick has to break before it can glow
3 - nostalgia is proof that you're living a life worthwhile
4 - don't stress over getting older - it's a privilege that's denied to many

Enough doomscrolling for the week - today at the gym I tried a new piece of equipment and found some muscles that have not seen the light of day in a long time, and they are going to be reminding me of that all day :) Happy Friday!

Yes, I am fully aware that Gitmo has been used for decades for a variety of containment reasons, but ~30K immigrants is a whole new level.
We say that people don't notice constitutional regime collapse because it comes on too slowly but I'm not sure how much faster it could be happening; we are literally at concentration camps on day 9.

Today I made the very hard decision to unfriend an old friend on FB (yes, still there for a short while) due her political views that no longer come close to aligning with mine. So hard to do, and makes me so sad, especially since she's not the first or the last. I know that you all get it.

A lot of blunders, unconstitutional exec orders, anti-humanity and pro-criminal actions and it's not even 24 hours yet. How to get through these next four years without having a stress attack is going to be a challenge, for sure.

Really odd - over the past two weeks I’ve gained lots of followers, a vast majority of whom are single men with military backgrounds, but at least they don’t appear to be MAGA.
Zero relevant posts on my part, so it’s confusing how/why.
