We are in so much fucking trouble. If this administration rolled away like a mirage tomorrow, HHS, the CDC and other orgs will have DECADES of work both in getting people to believe the truth and in getting people to trust their orgs again.

Plaque:

LOYALTY TO THE CONSTITUTION
THE UNITED STATES BOLDLY BROKE WITH THE ANCIENT MILITARY CUSTOM OF SWEARING LOYALTY TO A LEADER. ARTICLE VI REQUIRED THAT AMERICAN OFFICERS THEREAFTER SWEAR LOYALTY TO OUR BASIC LAW, THE CONSTITUTION.
WHILE MANY OTHER NATIONS HAVE SUFFERED MILITARY COUPS, THE UNITED STATES NEVER HAS. OUR AMERICAN CODE OF MILITARY OBEDIENCE REQUIRES THAT, SHOULD ORDERS AND THE LAW EVER CONFLICT, OUR OFFICERS MUST OBEY THE LAW. MANY OTHER NATIONS HAVE ADOPTED OUR PRINCIPLE OF LOYALTY TO THE BASIC LAW.
THIS NATION MUST HAVE MILITARY LEADERS OF PRINCIPLE AND INTEGRITY SO STRONG THAT THEIR OATHS TO SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION WILL UNFAILINGLY GOVERN THEIR ACTIONS.
THE
PURPOSE OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY IS TO PROVIDE SUCH LEADERS OF CHARACTER.

If you sent me a dm in the past month or so, I cannot access it. Ohio now requires age verification for messaging here. I am being asked for both SS# AND credit card # to verify. Not happening. @bsky.app surely there is a better way to keep kids safe. No other app has requested SS and credit card#.

So… that’s fun, I guess. Victims don’t need justice if the people hurting them are more powerful. They also don’t need justice when there are immigrants to terrorize and torture.

If you worked with teenagers would would never doubt that a 15 year old is a child. Also, I love how a minor teenage girl is an adult to these people, but the Young Republicans (all between 18 and about 35) were just kids saying stupid shit.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

This is what I try to always tell people: food banks can do way more with your money than you can, due to bulk buying deals. And they can do way, way more with your money than with the canned goods you didn’t want to eat
