Real talk—Memorial Day.

This weekend is a tough one for a lot of us.

It’s easy to find yourself in a dark place, asking “why?”

Why them?

Why not me?

Why were we there in the first place?

You’re allowed to do this, but I always tell people to focus on two simple things this weekend:

1. Remember them the way they would want to be remembered.

2. Do them proud.

You can’t change the past, you can only move forward.

Do it for them.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

My goodness. This is beautiful.

@EODHappyCaptain 1. Take care of your people
2. Be humble
3. The things you check show them the things you care about.

[Ted Choma @ChomaTed]

@huddleston_md Are you suggesting a fracture be managed without surgery? My head is spinning!

[Ted Choma @ChomaTed]

@EODHappyCaptain For him, and the guys in the barber shop. Finding joy in the little things is key.

While I’m ecstatic for USA Hockey, anyone who shit talks Canada is a dope. They’ve always been great neighbors and have produced some of the best bands in history. Great actors and comics, too. I’ve traveled it extensively. The land and people are tip top. Thank you, Canada! 🇨🇦

Great job @Grjackson_MD for bringing home the outstanding resident abstract award at @MSOA1984 Annual Meeting for surviorship of fresh meniscal allograft transplantation! @mumedicine @muhealth @MizzouOrtho @MizzouOrthoRes @MizzouResearch

This is a major development for @MizzouAthletics. Truly innovative partnership & structure.

Bruce Springsteen on Trump: “I couldn't care less what he thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history."

RETWEET if you stand with @Springsteen!

Dear America: keep filming ICE.

The only way to *stop* secret police is to *expose* them.

Document everything — peacefully & lawfully — in honor of Alex.

I served 25 years in the Army. What I saw today was un-American. A VA ICU nurse is dead after federal agents were unleashed on a U.S. city at the whim of a sick and disturbed president.

The Administration is lying — and Republicans are silent and complicit. If you care about freedom or this country: Believe your eyes, not the lies. Stand up now. Resist.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Totally normal country. And GOP is totally the party of faith and Christianity.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

The hypocrisy of a draft dodger criticizing NATO soldiers, including those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to fight for OUR security, is very embarrassing to me as an American. To all Europeans and Canadians, I apologize. I also pledge to do all I can to renew my country as a more respectable ally in the future.

Rep. @SethMoulton comes on CNN and starts by saying: "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading / occupying / running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

"No one should pressure Ukraine to give up territory for peace. Everybody should pressure Russia to cease aggression.”

Chevy won Christmas.
This is so good.

[Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly]

To all the servicemembers who can’t be with their families for the holidays, thank you for your sacrifice and for everything you do to keep us safe.

[Dr. Dave @drdave1999]

Q: Is Judge Luttig right?

A: 100%. Outside America, the entire world is aware that we elected the most corrupt & incompetent sociopath in history— TWICE!— and they cannot and should not forgive us. Our reputation as honest and educated people has been destroyed. We did this.

[Steve Cortes @CortesSteve]

Good morning!

ARMY vs NAVY kicks off later.

This legendary CBS promo video — it’s the best sports introduction ever:

“It’s the only game where everyone playing in it, is willing to die for everyone who’s watching.”

@mumedicine @NIH He is the real deal.
