Let’s talk about Healthy Resistance. I spend a good amount of my time talking people down. So here’s my recommendation for staying sane. (1/5)

You’re familiar with macronutrients? Great. Use this as a rough model:

No Integrity and the DARVOing of the Military. Grooming & PT standards are a smokescreen, but I did my OC spray training.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Pete Hegseth Would Hate Netflix’s New Show. That’s Why I Loved It.

The newly minted “secretary of war” wants to take the military back to 1990. Boots has a different vision of what that looked like.

I LOVE Netflix’s new show “Boots,” about a gay kid joining the Marines in 1990. Thrilled to moderate the NewFest panel in NYC last night! Showrunners Andy Parker & Jennifer Cecil, star Miles Heizer and mil advisor Marine vet Leon Ingleright.

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

“It was an intended realization of the wet dream of a particular kind of middle-aged straight, white guy who…has always wanted a Daddy to come along and tell them their lack of success is not their fault and the success of women and people of color and queer folks in the military is unearned.”

Charlotte Clymer @charlotteclymer.bsky.social · 11d

"That was the whole point of the event. It had nothing to do with improving our national security and military readiness. It was a role-play session for undeserving straight, white guys who could never hack it and resent those who could."

For the Smallest Men in the World

And a celebration of them.

Mandatory thread on Hegseth speech from an actual combat vet

Random thoughts on Hegseth speech:
- Having done both old-school Army PT and yoga, I would pay a thousand dollars to watch an infantry platoon get absolutely fucking smoked in a hot yoga class

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

A political opponent is using Mikie Sherrill's illegally released military record to smear her service. As a 20-year Army veteran & former West Point ethics instructor, Lt Col (Ret.) Casey Moes wants to set the record straight about her honor and integrity. Watch this!
