There is more to you than others know. You have your internal struggles, your demons, your doubts. But you also have strengths, aspirations, pride in your accomplishments and what you are capable of. You do not need to prove it to anyone, but you are worthy.

Hello! I have written a short article about the atomic bombings, and the anniversary that I think gets overlooked — when Truman *stopped* further atomic bombing, and why he did so. thebulletin.org/2025/08/trum...
Truman never ordered the use of the atomic bombs—but he did order atomic bombings to be stopped
On the 80th anniversaries of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, President Truman deserves credit for the first use of the atomic bomb in war. But he also deserves some credit for the fact that atomi...

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.

Honor has no price tag. It is bought only through actions, through conducting yourself with integrity, with kindness towards others, with ferocity towards those who promote hatred and bigotry. Nor can anybody, no matter how wealthy, buy it or take it from you. Honor is priceless.

Today's photo I took of the "Bloody Road" at Antietam National Battlefield in 2014 in Maryland. It's a reminder that civil war has happened before. I'd prefer a peaceful resolution, but I don't know if it will happen. #photography #photooftheday ##civilwar 📷 #nationalparks

LGBTQIA minors make up 40% of the endangered minor runaway population. They are 120% more likely to be unhoused. They are also uniquely at risk for exploitation and trafficking.
This is breathtakingly evil.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

A lone voice speaking truth may be drowned by a cacophonous enemy. But when true warriors stand together, add their voices to a chorus, the words gain the power to sweep away any perfidious clamor. Today of all days, add your voice, warriors, and sing for what's right.
