I take great offense to retired Generals making statements like this. I've seen the problem as a squadron commander & from the E-Ring of the Pentagon (DoN SAPR office) - I've personally experienced retaliation for trying to address the issues. It's systemic & starts at the top.

What's the over/under on how long it takes a certain Navy Commander to nuke his Twitter account, having failed to comprehend the basics of "screenshots last forever" ??

@mattgaetz He also probably shouldn't have run away from a crisis, blamed his kids, lied, failed to quarantine after international travel (both ways) been photographed without a mask on a plane, spoken publicly without a mask during a period he should have been quarantined, but here we are.

A beautiful but sad tradition. Let us work every day to make sure future generations do not have to light more candles...

Every year on Christmas Eve in Holland, children gather to light candles on the graves of Canadian soldiers who never returned home. COVID-19 stopped them from gathering this year, but it didnโ€™t stop the lights. It didnโ€™t stop remembrance. They still see you. We still see you.

I woke up this morning to news that there was a #WarOnMen โ€“ because a lot of people have interpreted the #GilleteAd asking us to be #TheBestMenCanBe as implying that simply being a man was bad. No. Being a man is great. Being #toxic is not. But what, exactly IS #ToxicMasculinity ?

@nolanwpeterson Nolan, America never "defended" the European continent in any actual war. We showed up, in both World Wars after the bulk of the fighting had been done - and made money off both the front and back end of both conflicts. Have an opinion, sure. But don't make up history.

This is what happens when you use unacceptable language in reference to our fellow Marines who happen to be female. IRR officers don't get a pass. I'll be writing his I&I, CO, & the IG... meanwhile, I hope that @TLCplMax & @GinaAHarkins & everyone else will amplify the signal.

True story. My grandmother died in a botched home abortion during the Great Depression. The family could not afford to feed another child. She bled to death in my grandfather's arms; he was never the same after. The intergenerational trauma affected my father & his children.

A few of the ways 2700 women/yr died from illegal abortions before Roe: - Being thrown down a flight of stairs - ingesting or douching with toxins like bleach or turpentine - Inserting needles, crochet hooks, and coat hangers into their bodies - Gangrene and sepsis #NeverAgain

@POTUS Mr. President, if you think you owe me something for my military service, here's how you can pay up: Give the rest of Americans the single-payer healthcare, living wage, & educational benefits you gave me. You'll find it can easily be paid for if you tax corporations & the rich

Whomever said this is an idiot... those of us who are more liberal in our 40's than we were in our 20's and know that conservative orthodoxies are at the root of most of the worst things that humans have done to each other and the planet must surely take umbrage. I know I do.

It's said if you're not a liberal when you're twenty, you have no heart; if you're not a conservative when you're forty, you have no head. I'd add, at least in my case: If you're not rethinking some conservative orthodoxies in your sixties, you haven't been learning from life.
