Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have tried to silence me for speaking out.
Today, I’m fighting back because this isn’t just about me. This is about the rights of all retired veterans and all Americans, and I’m not going to let this Administration take those away.

Bill Ackman has now confirmed what I first reported yesterday morning, that he donated $10K to the GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross, in a tweet.

I am begging Democratic leadership to recognize that funding and legitimizing your authoritarian opponent’s secret police is a bad idea.
This should not be a difficult concept.

we have been way too tolerant of cowards: we should be demanding that far more people in power who claim to be against the murderous evil of MAGA meet the standard currently being demonstrated by Jerome Fucking Powell
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

Separate from the obvious misogyny of the last few days, it’s been striking to watch the right wing media apparatus really confront the role of normie middle-aged women as a leading and increasingly radical force of opposition to trump

Three Members of Congress showed up to inspect the actions of federal officers in their state and the federal officers drew their weapons?
JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

If you are a veteran, this kind of visible presence at anti-ICE protests is really valuable.
These clowns all want to play dress-up soldier, so actual soldiers mocking them to their faces is devastating.

Aw, geez, the Minneapolis Fraternal Order of Police is really upset that people are "vilifying" their brothers in federal law enforcement who are murdering, kidnapping, threatening and generally terrorizing the people of Minneapolis.
Don't be mean to murderers and kidnappers, people. That's rude.

The MPD union, at least, has made it clear which side they are on.
This is the cost of DECADES of (everyone, everywhere) refusing to deal with the rising right-wing and white-nationalist involvement in policing.

Ja taas se Irlanti. Joka ikinen kerta Irlanti. Talous, jonka BKT on käytännössä kirjanpidollinen illuusio. Sitä siteeraamalla lukijaa johdetaan harhaan. Onko toimittaja edes aiheensa tasalla? Vai toistetaanko vanhaa kasvulitaniaa, koska muuta ei osata?
