Felon 47's administration, while claiming to support our military service members, is doing anything BUT caring for them, even when engaged in open warfare.

"Moon joy" is real, but it has an important lesson for us too: Public service and public life is a gift and something to treasure—the uncommon chance to do something for a cause bigger than yourself. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-pure-j...

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

The images from Gaza are unbearable. An Israeli hostage, Evyatar David, emaciated, forced to dig his own grave. Innocent Palestinian children starving to death. Our hearts must be big enough to break for all of them. Suffering is not a competition. Empathy is not a finite resource.

The humanitarian in me asks, What will it take for us to understand that we can hate those who have committed atrocities AND still be able to find empathy for people we perceive as "enemies" but in actuality are non-combatants who are also suffering?

Why is no one talking about how easily Felon 47 is so easily distracted with shiny new toys (like flagpoles), can't say the word "erection" (without almost giggling like a middle-schooler), and won't say what he's thinking about doing about Iran, because he doesn't know yet?

Why is no one talking about Felon 47's mental status? His ramblings and insane ideas are just as concerning - and more alarming! - as the signs that were exhibited by Pres. Biden.

If you're protesting this weekend, know your rights when interacting with law enforcement, including immigration agents.
Black graphic with text:
"Know Your Protest Rights.
You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney-no matter your citizenship or immigration status.”Know Your Rights. White ACLU logo.Dark blue background with text: "Know Your Rights When Interacting With Immigration Agents.
If you’re in a public space, you can ask if you're free to leave. If so, you can calmly walk away.You have the right to remain silent, even if you’re arrested. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone. If you’re arrested, you can say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer.You have the right to refuse consent to a search.If you have valid immigration documents, you’re required to show them. Never provide fake documents.You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere.If you’re at home, you do not have to open the door. ICE agents may not enter unless they have a warrant signed by a judge (have them slip it under the door). If they force their way in, do not resist, but you can remain silent."Know Your Rights.
