For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given.

The same is true for everyone who swear their oath.

Hope that clears things up.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that β€œwe need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Listing any one of her accomplishments feels like it it does it justice, and listing all of them would take hours. What a legend, what a loss.

Don't believe Mike Johnson for a nanosecond – he's not trying to protect the survivors – they fully endorse the release of the Epstein files.

First off, my suspension has ended. Got a little harsh with a post a few days ago but I didn’t have my feet on the ground and I’m sorry if I offended anyone. Will try to be more chipper. Knock on wood!

Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧡

It truly is a weird feeling living in America in 2025 & seeing a home with a flag outside, then playing the game of wondering, 'ok- are they people that actually love the U.S. & care about the people living here, or are they just hiding behind the flag, like the GOP hid behind 'protecting children'?

The fact that Megyn Kelly minimized raping 15 year olds and wasn't immediately canceled from every platform, including @siriusxmprog.bsky.social and YouTube, tells you EVERYTHING that is wrong with right wing media and this country in general.

Rolling waves, dramatic sky.

Rolling waves, dramatic sky.

FOR OUR FUTURE

Let’s be bold
and restore our lands, forests, oceans.

Let’s be clever
and rethink & reshape our global economic & political systems.

Let’s be defiant
and refuse to be complicit
in the idiocies of warmongers, oligarchs & wannabe kings.
