💯 this.
Military pay is a matter of public record so you can look this up if you want: No one is going to afford a trophy wife, much less a yacht, on those salaries.

Utterly outrageous. This is un-American.

The forced disappearance of Mahmoud Khalil for nothing more than constitutionally protected speech is a clear assault on first amendment rights and a blatant act of authoritarianism.

Khalil must be released.

I almost bought a book on Amazon today, but then I went to eBay and got it slightly used for half the price. Boycotting Amazon is fun AND easy.

Hey everyone -- Moms of Liberty and Dept of Education launched a snitch line portal today to rat out teachers and anyone promoting anything DEI.

FLOOD THE PORTAL

Spam the hell out of it.

Pass it on! It works!

NEW: Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.

ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Liberal wypipo, the women in particular, continue to be baffled and deeply perturbed at Black folks choosing to live and focus on our own lives despite the chaos *their* people overwhelmingly voted for and I just want to remind yall that Black people do not solely exist to be activism foot soldiers.

Recommendations for Calling US Representatives and Senators:

The recommendation now is to make six calls a day, or two per Representative or Senator: one to their local office, and one to the D.C. office. /1

Staffers for my US Representative and Senators are starting to sound tired, and are trying to cut me off before I get through my list of Grievances du Jour.

I’m so sorry that you have to take the brunt of this, but we seriously need your bosses to do their jobs. Now.

Something to add to your daily calls to your representatives and senators. Tell them to vote “No,” should it come to a vote in their house. We obviously do not need a Federal Abortion Ban. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

For my friends affected by this “buyout” offer…
I’ve spent about 2-3 hours each day on calls or chats with my US gov friends. Here’s an anonymized recap of what’s going on.

First, I am so very sorry that they are living our last year at Twitter. I never wanted to think about that time again, and I hope my advice is helpful. 1/

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history:

In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun."

The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen.

So they refused to announce a winner🤡
