Sorry to be dense, but ten former Defense Secretaries just wrote "As [others] have noted, 'there's no role for the U.S. military in determining the outcome of a U.S. election'." Um, we know that, right? Why are they having to say it now? Kind of freaking out.

@agleig @AdeanaMcN @H_Buddhism @agleig, speaking for myself, I wish I could share how another H-Buddhism editor annihilated that report. It was some *serious* "contextualization." As @H_Buddhism officially expressed, we are on the job.

@djbuddha Scott, I should remind you that you're the father. I know relationships can be confusing, but I've found that being the parent matters. Oh, and yes, that movie would be great.

@arunlikhati Just binged (horribly inappropriate word) your last few months of tweets. So glad you're still here in his life. Blessings!

@RepAdamSchiff Twitter statements are nice. Please talk with your fellow Congressmen and resist for real!

So annoyed with privileged third party voters. Don’t they know who pays for their self-indulgence? Not them.

@MichaelArnovitz, perhaps the best non-pro political writer in the country, just joined Twitter. Thought you should know.

Bowing to Dr. Larycia Hawkins. If you like academic, spiritual, or social freedom, you should, too.
