06Nov2024: I lost a lot of my faith that day. My determination to keep on being me, to stay active, to fight the tide of fascism that threatens to ruin us, is strong. To always stand on the side where love, kindness, equality, and acceptance mean more than greed.

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.
That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

methinks they doth protest too much.
seriously, if their orders were legal they could just thank the Congress people for their PSA, and agree. Instead they want to kill them.

there's a lot to be said! But it's about priorities - for myself, it's not me so much as it is future generations. They will live in the world my generation created; I'll do everything in my power to ensure that it is a fair and just world.
There is something to be said about us old hippies doing our part.

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

I've somehow buried the filters beneath every other fucking thing in the closet under the stairs.
We're talking some serious hard labor to get them out now.

The targeting of Mark Kelly isn’t politics...it’s the sick new normal created by a movement that can’t win arguments, only intimidate. When public servants become targets, freedom isn’t next in line… it’s already in danger. Fortunately, the outrage is intensifying rapidly.

They dismissed without prejudice, which sucks, but good news. this rotten DOJ should let it go in both cases. But that would not be like them and krasnov is probably hurling anything in sight at the moment.

We’ve all got some loser in us, but it ain’t a full time job
I may be a little difficult, but I’m not a total knob
I wanna hit him, bite him, fight him, punch him, watch him as he falls
he's not our type of guy.
They played this Saturday in DC. Lovely
