I served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Force Education and Training for three years before the office was disestablished last year. I owned the policy on professional military education for all five services. I have listened to Secretary Hegseth's announcement. I have thoughts. 🧵

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!)

These are not serious people or good faith actors.

Donald Trump claims the release of the Epstein files "exonerates" him. In reality as Rep. Ted Lieu stated this week, after reviewing the unredacted Epstein files: “In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations, allegations of Donald Trump raping children and threatening to kill children.”

The Emotional Toll of Living With Institutional Betrayal - Dame Magazine What happens to us when institutions protect power instead of people? From Epstein to ICE, institutional betrayal is inflicting trauma and moral injury.

“I have a sick feeling in my stomach all the time.”

If you feel this way, you’re not alone.

It’s not just political stress. It’s moral and psychic injury. 🧵1/

No idea why they would do that. But indoor temperature must be at least 68 degrees from 6am to 10pm when outdoor temps go below 55. And at least 62 overnight. Call 311 to report the lack of heat.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
