One of the antifraud tools I use claim the first time the email address was seen was 2017. Seems pretty long to be a red herring if accurate. So its a single data point in a broader investigation. Mail[.]ru is known for false data returns.

Of the 3,498 service members who have received the Medal of Honor throughout U.S. history, only 88 have been black. The first, pictured here in a black and white photo is Sgt William Carney shown wearing a 3 piece suit and his medal of honor pinned to his left chest pocket area. On July 18, 1863, the soldiers of Carney's regiment led the charge on Fort Wagner. During the battle, the unit's color guard was shot. Carney, who was just a few feet away, saw the dying man stumble, and he scrambled to catch the falling flag. Despite suffering several serious gunshot wounds himself, Carney kept the symbol of the Union held high as he crawled up the hill to the walls of Fort Wagner, urging his fellow troops to follow him. He planted the flag in the sand at the base of the fort and held it upright until his near-lifeless body was rescued. Even then, though, he didn't give it up. Many witnesses said Carney refused to give the flag to his rescuers, holding onto it tighter until, with assistance, he made it to the Union's temporary barracks. Promoted for His Actions Carney lost a lot of blood and nearly lost his life, but not once did he allow the flag to touch the ground. His heroics inspired other soldiers that day and were crucial to the North securing victory at Fort Wagner. Carney was promoted to the rank of sergeant for his actions. For his bravery, Carney was awarded the Medal of Honor on May 23, 1900.

The Defense Dept has deleted references to Black, Hispanic & female service members as well as topics such as the Civil War from its website in order to remove all references to diversity, equity, & inclusion.
Sgt William H. Carney, a former slave, is the first black man to get the Medal of Honor.

Everyone knows thats the Dunkin Pride Flag.

Cowards. All of them. Primary them out. We're done with them.

If you vote for this Republican Funding Bill, you are complicit in all that DOGE, President Elon, and Trump does.

Selling at cost is noble, but you have a real opportunity that this could be a movement. Please consider restocking, or do pre-order that way you dont over buy. You may have just found a way to raise extra funds in the meantime.

Senate Democrats must vote against the Republican's continuing budget resolution It's the only way to hold the Trump regime accountable. Call your senators now.

Trump’s team is already saying they will not spend funds that Congress has authorized and appropriated. 

There is no point in Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds.

Call your Senator: (202) 224-3121

"I want to keep boycotting Amazon, but I also want to support indie authors. How do I do that?"

Many indie authors have their books on Barnes & Noble & Kobo! There are also places like Smashwords & Campfire that are almost all indie books! Itchio now has a THRIVING LGBTQ Indie Book Scene.

Maybe their antics will encourage voters to understand that states have been abusing their kids, not the Federal government. We can finally set some Federal learning standards that increase knowledge and skills rather than let States harm their future constituents as it has been.

The government already knows a lot about you. DOGE is trying to access all of it Agencies from Social Security to the IRS store sensitive data on millions of Americans. Here's what the government knows about us – and what's at risk as DOGE seeks access to the data.

Seriously. I'd like to keep those owned by the public. Privatization destroys everything. Just ask Chicago.

Honestly, most every Federal agency and public land. I'm tired of people defunding them and not letting them succeed, just so they try to sell them off for parts and destroy public value, or use them as political punching bags.

When we keep cutting science funding and leaving more complex biology to college, its no surprise there is a lack of understanding. We have to do better for our future generations.

Your Car May Be Spying On You. Here’s How to Get It to Stop. - Consumer Reports Automakers are collecting and sharing data about your driving. Here's how to stop your car from spying on you.

“Your driving data goes to a half a dozen companies you’ve never even heard of for reasons you’d perhaps never agree to if asked directly,” EFF’s @thorinklosowski.com told @consumerreports.org.

I think it's important to remember, with everything extremely fucked up and dumb right now, that at the root of it, fuck fuck fucking fucking fuck.

All the things we are seeing right now is stagecraft for Peter Thiel and his cronies to dismantle democracy.

This is the fascist, broligarchy that is pumping out new ideas for the alt-Right.

Get acquainted with the source waters of American Technarch Fascism to see what we are really fighting.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. 

The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. 

Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.

The show must go on.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

The acceleration of anti-trans attacks isn't what scares me most at the moment. What scares me most are non-trans people who believe the GOP will stop at the military ban and passports and gender-affirming care for youth.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Isn't that what Rick Scott did?

I’m demanding answers, alongside members of the Illinois federal delegation, from the Trump administration for ignoring court orders to release almost $1.88 billion in federal funding for our state.

If they can't hold their end of the deal, Illinoisans deserve to know.

Weak leaders use fear tactics to reason their "strength".

Repost as often as we can. Our National and State parks need to be left alone and those fired, restored! #nationalparks #nps #altnps
