Today the press’s priority should be on three stories - shooting of elected officials in MN, No Kings protests, and the Israel/US/Iran conflict. No disrespect to the U.S. Army on their birthday but their DC parade for the President should be relegated to the back burner of what’s important today.

The bad optics of pitting the U.S. military against the American public is one thing - the real potential of violence, or death, will have even greater ramifications. A powder keg. All this while we prepare for a vanity parade of our military might on the streets of our national capital. SMH

We're back to "greedflation"

Let’s go American businesses - belly up to the bar and do the right thing - “EAT THE TARIFFS” 😀😃😄😁😆🥹😅🤣🙄

He was introduced to OPSEC when he was a 2LT and must of had refresher courses throughout his military career. He has proven to not be trusted when it comes to OPSEC. He puts our troops in harms way with his loose lips when they, and mission success, should be his number one priority.

Confirming Hegseth really was insanely reckless.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Kim Eastwood (@eastwooddanes) on Threads I love this so much.

THIS guy…👏👍

If I was still active duty military and involved in any op, sensitive or not, I’d be very concerned about the lack of OPSEC and potential mission compromise in regard to this current administration. Children playing grown up games.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

Quote of the month: “We are currently clean on OPSEC.” - SecDef Pete Hegseth

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

Journalist is included in a Trump admin group chat outlining plans to bomb Houthis President’s national security team used an encrypted messaging app to talk about a planned strike on Houthi militants — and accidentally included a prominent journalist in their group chat

Staggering security breach after journalist is included in Trump admin group chat outlining plans to bomb Houthis in Yemen

These are not serious people, surrounded by even less serious people - who all pose a very serious danger to our country. In way over their heads. America will suffer with their incompetence.

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism.

This long exposure infrared image was made at the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge in the Florida Panhandle. It was a good cloud day and they were moving fast. #photography #landscapephotography #ir #infrared #fullspectrum #longexposure #EastCoastKin

There is so much fleeting beauty to the world of mountains, lasting seconds before it's gone forever. Far above and barely visible, a towering, frozen world of snow and ice emerges every so briefly. Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia, Chile.

In a realm most of us never will venture into, lies a world of majesty, beauty and splendor, a world where wilderness untamed, pristine and pure, reigns supreme, and reminds us of nature's infinite power. Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia, Chile.

The Cuernos del Paine silhouette against a glorious morning sky, as beautiful rainbow clouds move in, hiding it all again from view. Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia, Chile.

For me there is nothing as beautiful as mountains emerging behind clearing clouds. It is magical and ethereal, and can be so in infinitely many ways. Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia, Chile.

A few reasons why I love mountains!

A screenshot of text stating: "The University of Colorado took down its main D.E.I. webpage, and posted a new page for an Office of Collaboration." The text suggests that the university has replaced its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (D.E.I.) webpage with a new office focused on collaboration. The emphasis on this change might indicate a shift in policy or branding regarding diversity initiatives.

Ooooh well played.

My late wife, a proud CU alum, would approve.

Made it out to shoot the milky way last Monday morning. I always love the first milky way shoot as it is right above the horizon. This image was made on a secluded beach in North Florida. #photography #landscapephotography #longexposure #EastCoastKin #milkyway #astrophotography #stars
