Policy decisions reflect values.

The strength of our common defense depends on how we treat the people who serve.

On #NationalComingOutDay, I’ve been thinking about what it means to show up fully, especially when you’re serving something bigger than yourself.

Courage, honesty, and community make our institutions stronger. 🌈

On #NationalComingOutDay, we honor those who serve openly — and those who cannot safely do so yet.

Visibility strengthens service. 🌈

Proud of @lfschleusener.bsky.social remarks today at the Ruby Sachs Symposium.

Accountability and trust make inclusion durable, in every institution that serves. 🌈

Grateful for the conversation at the Ruby Sachs Symposium on National Security and the Law.

Accountability makes inclusion durable — and transparency keeps trust alive. 🌈

We’ve got each other’s backs, and together we keep going. We carry the memory of those who suffered fear and exclusion, and we refuse to let it happen again. #OutInNatSec

Bigotry weakens national security. We will secure accountability for those who weaponize it, because trust, talent, and service are too important to lose. #OutInNatSec

We are rooted in this community and grow from it. We protect each other, and together we will fight the scare, protect the community, secure accountability, and change the law. 🌈✊ #OutInNatSec

This is a Second Lavender Scare. We will fight the Scare, protect our community, secure accountability, and change the law. #OutInNatSec
This is a Second Lavender Scare. Firing someone for a Pride flag is an attack on public service and the national security enterprise. Bigotry has no place in America, and we cannot allow fear to drive talent away from serving openly.
🚨 Last night we learned: FBI Director Kash Patel fired a trainee agent for displaying a Pride flag at their desk. This is blatant discrimination. via @advocate.com

Pride flags don’t threaten national security — bigotry does.

We will keep working with allies and partners to combat discrimination and build a stronger natsec enterprise through reforms to law, custom, and policy. #OutInNatSec

Shutdowns aren’t just about politics in Congress. They hollow out the federal government — forcing out talent, lowering morale, and weakening our national security.

Proud of @OutInNatSec for breaking down what today’s forced exits mean. Full thread ⬇️
“We’re seeing the arson of our government,” warns Max Stier of Partnership for Public Service. Bendery’s reporting shows how today’s shutdown accelerates talent & knowledge loss. Our explainer follows ⬇️
