#HOLDFAST Proud Chicago native, retired to Michigan. Resist. Life in America is about to get a lot harder on all fronts. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. I take solace in my gardens, pollinators, birds and animals. 💙

Guys, it's really that simple.
The secret to early retirement; dine out rarely, fly economy and be a Google employee making $390,000/year married to a fellow Google employee 17 years older than you who likely makes twice as much as you.

Sharing this now, for reasons
To understand Hegseth’s announcement of impunity for misconduct, you must understand that Eddie Gallagher is the model. This is what he means by “warrior ethos.” Trump may have even selected Hegseth because of his similar appearance to Gallagher.

Remember?

True. Van Epps has shifted his event tomorrow from Pucketts to a right wing billionaire’s mansion in Franklin to avoid any protests on the eve of the election.

the administration is being cute about it now, but a funny thing about the Hegseth double tap reporting is that he made a lengthy huffy comment after the story published. He had a chance to deny it, and say (or lie even) I never said this. This isn’t a trick question, he coulda done that. He didn’t!

Earlier this year, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.

ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”

You can judge for yourself.

Hegseth and Noem parade around like Trump will never toss them over the side if the going gets rough despite all evidence of his first term. And yeah, there are differences, but…

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

The idea that anarchists created the 8-hour day, as opposed to the CIO and the New Deal, is complete ahistorical bullshit. 99.9% of the workers involved in the 1886 8-hour day protests with the Knights of Labor were not anarchists. In fact, the Knights loathed the anarchists.
You’re confused, again. We’re proud of our combatants. The price paid in dynamite & repression by the anarchist mvmnt freed us from 12 hr. shifts, 6 days p/week. In fact, if we’re inching back towards that reality it’s because the labor mvmnt. has become defanged, thanks to narratives like yours.

Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
