D-Day should be the greatest example of what international cooperation can achieve.

instead, I still see it being trumpeted as the supposed triumphs of nationalisms.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.

REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Since we’re all talking about Greenland and Canada now would be a good time to remind people that Puerto Rico and Washington, DC actually should be added as the 51st and 52nd states.

Title of the NPR news from Dec 20, 2024 that reads: Louisiana forbids public health workers from promoting COVID, flu and mpox shots.

Louisiana being the same place forbidding healthcare workers to promote vaccines, and 2 weeks later having the first death case of #H5N1. 🤔

The fact that it wasn’t will forever be America’s shame.

In 1971, the Jim Crow era was over, but oppression carried on. Jimmy Carter was sworn in as Governor of Georgia.

In his Inaugural address, he declared “the time for racial discrimination is over”.

President Carter always had the spine to speak up, no matter the cost of the cause. Be like Carter.

A fair question.

This is both depressing and invigorating.

Regimes seem solid until they are not. Every resistance act matters because often regimes are crumbling from within from corruption and yet good at hiding that fact. cc: Russia

This we need

A FAFO 13 years in the making.

Rebels are within 6km from Assad's palace. Locals are tearing down Assad images & signs 15 minutes from the Palace. Russia is fleeing Tartus port and Iran is evacuating forces. An emergency meeting to be held between Turkey, Iran, Russia, Iraq, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. #freeSyria

If you're more upset with Biden being forced to consider the extraordinary step of peremptorily pardoning his own officials then you are about Trump appointing someone who’s promised to use the federal govt to exact personal retribution for Trump, then you need to think a little more critically.

Yes please

Apology?

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

This is all the Russians have been able to take in almost a year, at the cost of about 1500 men A DAY.

You heard that right, 1500 PER DAY

Syrian dictator Assad fled to Moscow at the beginning to beg Putin for help and is yet to return.

So true

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.

Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

Who’s with me?

Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid: “Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s. Over half of those deported were US citizens.”

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
