I got nothing, just want those who have a 214 to ask themselves if this is who we want to be.

Not if this is who we are, ask yourself if this is what we want time to say we stand for.

I don’t know what my daughter’s world will look like, and I don’t know where to go from here.

I can’t share a true understanding of your struggles as a trans vet, and I’m sure you have more qualified people in your social circles but if you ever need someone to lean on, vent to, or just be a friend - Please do not hesitate.
Honestly.
Even if it’s just β€œremember when USAA didn’t suck?!”

a man with a beard and mohawk is wearing a purple shirt and overalls . Alt: The basic alt text is a joke. This is Mr T, as in Mr T from the A-Team. He is stating to someone off screen β€œFoolish!”.

Honestly it shocks me the blatantly pernicious behavior from some members of the house willingly pursuing dismantling Social Security.

With a massive amount of gun ownership AND an extreme quantity of veterans in all stages of middle age, after 20 years of deployments to Iraq/Afgan.

Just because this account could be someone’s teenage nephew, this post rings no less true.

This shit ain’t messing around anymore. It’s here, it’s happening.

We used to deride Saddam’s government for the same shit that is being pulled now. There is no coalition of the willing coming to save us.

I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He β€œbegan to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, β€œfolding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He β€œasked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

As GDC week starts, I urge people in positions to help others to do so. Last year we had an incident at a bar and had management step in. Sometimes people being targeted are afraid to speak up, but if they do, support them. Get the perp booted. Don’t like guys like this get away with it again.
