Opinion | Trump addresses my top issues: Renaming Gulf of Mexico and invading Greenland | Opinion — USA TODAY
I voted for Trump because I wanted us to militarily overtake the largely inhospitable Danish territory of Greenland and rename the Gulf of Mexico.

Today's work. I have concerns about how big this is going to end up. There's still a good bit of this cake to go. #crochet 🧶

I've been getting hit with a lot of accounts following me that are adult porn along with very young adults and one that was concerning because the girl looked about 12 years old in poses. I've reported and blocked each one.

Anyone else getting these?

This is incredibly disturbing and goes against every rule of war, international law, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and the very ethic of the military. A disciplined military goes to every length to prevent civilian deaths and having a SecDef who doesn't care is unacceptable.

BREAKING: Autonomous anti-genocide activists bring the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to a grinding halt after blockading the McDonald’s float for a second year in a row.

“Those grinches who thinks they can disrupt the parade: it’s not going to happen,” Mayor Eric Adams said yesterday.

How did Trump win in 2024? There are various theories, but it's clear the fragmented online information remains a critical place to study. Conducting rigorous research to understand this landscape is more important than ever.

Thanks for sharing this, and the link to the doc (in thread)--yes, this is critical. The OKC bombing is comparable in American history only to Pearl Harbor and 9/11, and hardly anybody remembers it as what it was: an act of domestic terrorism by the white power movement. (1)

DOES *NO ONE* REMEMBER TIMOTHY MCVEIGH

Screenshot from AP: While the number of people involved remains small, the participation of active military and veterans gave extremist plots more potential for mass injury or death, according to data collected and analyzed by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, or START, at the University of Maryland. START researchers found that more than 80% of extremists with military backgrounds identified with far-right, anti-government or white supremacist ideologies, with the rest split among far-left, jihadist or other motivations. In the shadow of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol — led in part by veterans — and a closely contested presidential election, law enforcement officials have said the threat from domestic violent extremists is one of the most persistent and pressing terror threats to the United States. However, despite the increasing participation in extremist activity by those with military experience, there is still no force-wide system to track it. And the AP learned that Defense Department researchers developed a promising approach to detect and monitor extremism that the Pentagon has chosen not to use. As part of its investigation, the AP vetted and added to the data and analyses provided by START, and collected thousands of pages of records and hours of audio and video recordings through public records requests. Free of scrutiny in Mount Olive, Arthur stockpiled weapons, some with the serial numbers scratched off to make them untraceable. He trained a pack of Doberman pinschers as guard dogs. He rigged his old farmhouse, where he lived with his wife, their three kids and two children from her previous marriage, with improvised explosives, including a bomb hidden on the front porch and wired to a switch inside.

I have small original drawings of fruit, veg and mushrooms, would be a great addition to kitchen decor, and would also be great as little gifts for a cook or a gardener...

Did you know #ElonMusk businesses were awarded $15.4 billion in federal contracts over the past decade? Not that #Trump cares, but doesn't that constitute a conflict of interest in appointing him to head “Department of Government Efficiency,” #DOGE? Ask your congressperson!
