Hey, Mr. Secretary: You don't know what you're talking about. See if you can find people who have ever actually flown an airplane and agree with this bigoted BS. (Signed: single-engine plane owner for 24 years, active IFR rating 28 years, 2200+ incident-free solo landings.)

BREAKING: I’m hearing from several VA employees that they have been locked out of VATAS - thats how employees request leave - like administrative leave to file EEO complaints. It also shows your work schedule and OT. If this has happened to you, please reach out using the contact info in my bio.

You can cancel Black History Month. But you can’t cancel Black History. The contributions and sacrifices, willingly or not, Black Americans have made for this country can never be repaid. That shouldn’t stop us from trying.

Re-reposting 9 days later because Black History Month. Black history is not some special-interest side room to American history. It is central—to every aspect of our past. Black people changed things profoundly for you, whoever you are, in aspects of your life you may take for granted.

What is going on with the Dems? Where are they? Why aren’t they marching through the halls of congress trying to stop this nonsense? Where are the sit-ins on the house floor? WAKE THE FUCK PEOPLE!!!

I heard on the Bulwark that they postponed them until Tuesday. But they could’ve been wrong. But yes, I wouldn’t expect current prices on goods already here to go up. I certainly don’t look forward to this. I have a 250 gal tank outside of my house. A 25% increase- is going to me hard.

We’ve gotta be approaching or at the biggest abdication by a group of elected officials in history right?

Why do Republicans hate LGBTQ folks? ✝️ Why to Republicans want to harm trans kids? ✝️ Why do Republicans want to control women's bodies? ✝️ And why do Republicans feel justified in carrying out these abuses? ✝️

I think that photo is just as disgusting as all Canadians! And I’m sure PMJT vomited a little bit in his mouth when she looked at him like that. Trust me nobody hates him more than half us down here do.

They already have. And the worst of them are the Dems. Who are sitting there literally doing and saying nothing. Just sitting in the bleachers in the circus tent, willing to jump in and give a hand whenever needed. Except for a few like AOC, they have lost their spines.
