@DC

Good.

Well done, Sherm, well done… (slow clap)

I was only 30 something when I helmed The Enterprise.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Yes, clearance paperwork is an NDA in the legal sense, and the same applies to both military and civilian personnel. My post was just a lighthearted joke; I just meant that having a totally separate NDA on top of that seems a bit excessive and weird. :)

Why Commanders Don’t Sign NDAs Existing rules and laws applying to military secrecy are sufficient—and asking officers to sign NDAs is deeply inappropriate.

"I can say this plainly: Such a move betrays a profound misunderstanding of how secrecy, accountability, and trust work inside the U.S. military." ICYMI @markhertling.bsky.social on Hegseth's NDA demand: www.thebulwark.com/p/why-milita...

FACTS about SNAP:

-35% to white people (largest share)
-90% to people born in 🇺🇸
-86% to households with kids
-70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

This story is insane. A man who posted a meme of Trump saying “we have to get over it” in a discussion about the CK shooting has been in jail for 2 months with a $2M bond. Meanwhile, the man who actually threatened to kill Hakeem Jeffries is out on bail.

I served in the military for over 24 years. It's wild that we didn't have any kind of non-NDA classification system during that time. How did we manage to function?

Maybe they should watch Russell Crowe’s new Nuremberg movie when it comes out next week. Just some helpful advice.

The meaning of America’s vast military build-up off Venezuela The world’s largest aircraft-carrier is making for the Venezuelan coast. Its military aims are unclear

1. There is no evidence that Venezuela produces fentanyl.
2. The UN drug office says it is not a cocaine-producing country.
3. Most illegal drugs come here in container ships, not small boats with outboard motors.
4. The admin has produced no evidence to justify these extra-judicial killings.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

Trying to understand the United States better, so I’m watching Canadian Bacon (1995).

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

It appears he cosplayed as an SS-Major, indicating he is a major ass in more ways than one.

My feelings, exactly.

4 frame comic. 1st frame shows Matt Walsh in front of a graph. he says : Transgenderism is effectively over. We destroyed it. Clearest and most decisive cultural win that conservatives have ever achieved. Sophie, the author, replies : that's kinda sad. the survey asked students from three specific colleges if they identified as neither male nor female. it didn't ask about trans people overall or non-students, and it conveniently didn't include colleges that showed the opposite. we see Jacob Eliason's graph. text reads : also, that graph is from raw data. when weighted, the data says that trends are unchanged compared to last year - it even suggests that there are more non-binary students. in the last frame, Sophie is holding a document. she says : oh, and what's this? a serious survey published last week shows that 55% of transgender and non-binary people have taken steps to become less visible after november 2024. how does bullying us back into the closet make you a hero? sources : mapresearch.org, jacobeliason.com, benryan.substack.com, erininthemorning.com

kinda sad

no kangs

Agents snatching up a young protester off the floe today. Resist! Flippers up!

Solidarity is the only way

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid" We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today

I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.)

Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear.

But… no “kids”!

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Letting troops buy groceries on credit isn’t support. It’s a debt with a flag on it.
