"BuyBull"... I like the sound of that....
but to answer your question:
as historian Yuval Noah Harari explains it... most likely it's because the kitties were edited OUT in the 4th century with ZERO input from Childless Cat Ladies....

Very, very interesting responses on here. Reddit is obviously not representing the entirety of the DOD personnel but there’s a lot of building anger and feeling of betrayal

YES. THIS. I’m reading it now. SO TIMELY.
I just finished reading “How to Stand Up to a Dictator” by @mariaressa.bsky.social

If you want to know why the world, especially the U.S. political system, is why it is right now (even though this book is focused on the Philippines) you should read this book.

And then delete Facebook.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Young voters really don't like Elon Musk.

His unfavorability is 54% with all voters. 67% with voters under 30.

Feels important for a party that needs to win a much bigger share of young voters.
How Americans view Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg
Just over half of U.S. adults (54%) say they have an unfavorable view of Musk, and two-thirds of Americans have an unfavorable view of Zuckerberg.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau uncovered $21 billion of cheating and returned it directly to Americans.

That little agency is proof that we can make the government work for people.

Trump and Musk want to take that away, but we won't stop fighting to protect it.

NEW: A moment in Munich.

Zelenskyy says Russia is creating 15 new divisions of 150,000 soldiers: "Maybe these soldiers are for Ukraine. Maybe they are for you.”

He ends hoping for peace.

A long, standing ovation.

What a contrast to Vance, met with silence as he torched transatlantic relations.

Anyone who says there wasn’t enough water in the reservoirs to fight the California wildfires NEEDS to watch this & help stop misinformation. Can we please get back to uniting as a country when there are catastrophic disasters? Lying only disrupts efforts to help people in need.

As lawyers righteously file multiple lawsuits against Trump & Musk’s coup, we must nonetheless recognize: the courts can’t “save” us. They won’t be the backstop protecting us from this takeover. The only thing that can save us is us.
The Courts Can’t Stop the Trump-Musk Coup
While the lawsuits being filed against the Trump-Musk administration are righteous, they will not “save” us from this nightmare.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth refuses to “aid and abet” Trump’s power grabs. She’s voting no on all remaining Cabinet nominees, citing his administration’s illegal actions and Elon Musk’s DOGE takeover. “I’ll be voting no on all top-level nominees.” Democrats must fight back.
