-A living wage

We cannot let this day pass without honoring and remembering the veterans we have lost to suicide. This is one of the most urgent and heartbreaking issues facing our veteran community todayβ€”and it is all too real.

How about some basic rules?
--All law enforcement officers should wear identification
--No law enforcement officers should be allowed masks
--All law enforcement officers should wear and use body cams
...oh and...
--All law enforcement officers should understand, respect & follow the law

Russia's GDP is only $2.02T, falling behind Canada, Brazil, Italy, France, UK, India, Japan, Germany, China, and the US. Also behind California, Texas and NY. Why, then, does the current US government alienate stronger economies and cozy up to a weak one?

A system in which CEOs make, on average, 300 times more money than their company’s average worker is not sustainable.

A photo of a dark, night sky. The moon shines bright in the top center and lights up a sky-full of storm clouds rolling across the sky, overhead a horizon of trees. In the center of the clouds is a gap, in the shape of a heart, with a few stars shining brightly.

I went outside to see the parade of planets. Just before heading in, storm clouds rolled in and I spotted this. πŸ’™

In a dark worldβ€”its okay to feel overwhelmed & scared. But you are not alone. Love, joy, and kindness are all around us and we must keep them for they are acts of resistance. ✨

When I was assigned to lead Task Force Lion, I didn’t know what I was stepping into. 85 Marines and sailors from 35 different units, teams from 10 Coalition nations, one impossible mission. The story of how we made it work begins February 18 in β€œNothing Here Worth Dying For.”

It’s easy to be a critic or a cheerleader. It’s harder to be a coach.

Critics concentrate on your weaknesses and attack your worst self. Cheerleaders focus on your strengths and celebrate your best self.

Coaches emphasize your potential and help you become a better version of yourself.

I don't want a government that works like a business. I want a government that works like a government. Government isn't here to return profits. It exists to make the lives of citizens better. Any govt is the largest non-profit organization that exists, and needs to be focused on serving its people
