We were shocked to learn that women #veterans with 20 or more years of service can ALSO struggle with #homelessness. Read more here. #MST #PTSD With @rjhphd.bsky.social utppublishing.com/doi/epdf/10....

Former FBI agent Dan Brunner: From what we saw, the suspect wasn’t even close to breaching security. He still would have had to go down two flights of stairs and get through additional secured doors. He didn’t even reach the magnetometers before being stopped.

Here they are: our two top Iran negotiators. No diplomatic experience. In way over their head. Both with massive financial conflicts of interest, their fortunes tied to the Middle East dictators that make them rich. What a disaster.

I ❤️ Jamie Oliver as a personality 💯 but his Asian cooking is 💩. He needs a Gennaro Contaldo mentor on this or don’t even bother. Serious steam table, inauthentic stuff. Look for Nina Simonds or Fuscia Dunlop @fuschiadunlop.bsky instead.

Chris Christie: "To say what the president said about Bob Mueller just shows you how completely self-consumed he is. It comes from his own sense that the only thing that matters in the world is him. That's what a child does."

Today in 1983, Pretenders peak at #5 with “Back On The Chain Gang” — their highest charting single. “The perfect song,” Pitchfork once wrote. “It’s the sound of a band regrouping after tragedy, turning grief into something communal and cathartic.” @thepretenders.com @chrissiehynde.com 💕

Remember when Trump removed Maduro and Republicans were celebrating because they thought Trump was going to bring freedom and democracy to Venezuela, but instead he just left the Maduro regime in place while stealing their oil like we knew he would?

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

Money for an illegal war in which we've already committed war crimes by blowing up a school while our own children can't go to school without being gunned down, and our veterans and elderly here at home can't receive food or adequate healthcare Corporate American priorities are a nightmare

“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.” — Tupac said it years ago… and here we are. The Pentagon is now asking for an additional $200 BILLION for this war. We always find the money for war. But when it comes to housing, healthcare, or feeding people? Suddenly it’s crickets.

So I am hating finding out that Cesar Chavez was another pig, after all; and equally hate the wrenching secret Dolores Huerta lived with for so many years, and especially the pain of her giving birth to two children who she later gave away, all from this trajectory of abuse and suffering. Tragic!

One of the first things we were taught at Quantico was that there is never a moment in which you are not representing the Bureau; but, then again, we earned our place there, and weren’t granted its directorship as a sinecure for partisan malfeasance and a willingness to disregard the constitution.

Mark Kelly: "I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged ... it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."

Trump: "I have the best numbers for any president in many years. Any president. And I would say if you read it, it's pretty clear I'm not allowed to run. It's too bad." (Trump's approval rating is currently at a historic low, even for him, so no, his numbers are not the "best")

I remember meeting with a newspaper editor who thought I might make a good copy editor. "Although copy editors are known to be eccentric," he warned. I realized at the time, that's not really something I'd aspire to; nonetheless, this might be fun to try. And it sorta was, but not overly. 🤔

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

I know there are people who don’t like the sound of other people chewing. I don’t like the smell of what other people bring for lunch, often enough. Is that a thing? Today’s offense is someone’s soup they went out and bought that smells like a big 🥣 of human sweat. {{{Ugh.}}}
