Good Sunday morning from the frigid Detroit suburbs, friends ☀️
Hope you’re easing into the day w/good coffee, calm vibes & a little groove in your step.
If you need a friend, I’ve got you (GenX Army veteran, high school English teacher, college writing professor, dog dad, wannabe poet-lol).
Peace ✌️🫠

So Mango Mussolini showed up to Pope Francis’ funeral in a BLUE suit (even Ukraine’s President Zelensky wore a black suit!), was put in the third row, had a shit fit, was moved to the first row, where he proceeded to play on his phone.
Got it.
He’s an orange shit stain on the shorts of life.

The high school literature teacher, college writing professor & Army veteran in me wants to share this piece from one of my favorite author’s novels:
“Are you a communist?"
"No I am an anti-fascist"
"For a long time?"
"Since I have understood fascism.”
—Ernest Hemingway from For Whom the Bell Tolls

Really?
I realize this is an executive order, but you have shamed every woman in your command past and present with this. And as an #armyveteran myself, completely disgusted and embarrassed.

The Army and Navy just deleted web pages honoring women’s military service—falling in line with Trump’s DEI purge.
This isn’t about readiness. It’s about erasing the contributions of women who served and sacrificed for this country.
Shameful.
