Here's a thought. If you're worried about spreading germs and want people to stay home when sick, get vaccinated against transmissible diseases, and generally be better for their communities, then you need to vote for and support policies that would allow them to do so.
@BBD_cosplay@rdrisms They hurt but not quite this bad still. Just got the mega jumbo idol horse golshi last month from the pre order and I think shipping and tariffs came out to an extra 70% 😞. Steep but not convention pricing steep.
An active-duty member of the United States military stood on the steps of the Capitol, in uniform, and called for the impeachment, conviction, and removal of Donald Trump. He was arrested.
He didn’t stumble into this. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Under Department of Defense rules and the Uniform Code of Military Justice, active-duty service members are heavily restricted from engaging in partisan political activity, especially in uniform. Depending on how this is charged, he could be facing violations like Article 92 (failure to obey orders or regulations), and for officers, even Article 88 (contempt toward officials). That’s not a slap on the wrist, that’s career-ending territory. Court-martial, loss of rank, forfeited pay, even prison time are all on the table.
He risked everything: his career, his pension, his freedom, and the future he built inside the military.
And he did it anyway.
You don’t have to agree with what he said to recognize what it took to say it. Real courage isn’t reserved for safe opinions or popular moments. It shows up when the cost is clear, and you move forward anyway.
The military demands discipline and neutrality for a reason. But history is full of moments where individuals inside institutions decided that staying silent was the greater violation.
That tension, between duty to the system and duty to conscience, is where this story lives.
Maybe you think he crossed a line. Maybe you think he drew one.
But let’s not pretend this was casual. This was deliberate. This was informed. This was someone fully aware of the consequences choosing to act anyway.
Time will decide how this moment is remembered. It always does.
But one thing is undeniable: he knew the price, and he spoke anyway. VIA!~~~ Melinda Fulton
Teddy Roosevelt would personally hang each and every one of these stupid fucking fascists in the middle of DC if he could see what they’ve done to the Republican Party.
The most delusional group of ineffective, out of touch losers in history.
🚨BREAKING: A new video shows DHS lied, again, about an ICE shooting.
Yesterday, ICE reportedly told police that a man “weaponized” his vehicle by “ramming” into an ICE sedan, forcing an agent to fire his gun during an operation in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Except… that’s not what the video shows.
In the video, an ICE agent rushes the driver’s window with his gun drawn. The agent recklessly waves his gun around, and appears to order the driver to roll down the window.
That’s an extreme use of force from the very beginning.
Another agent approaches the car, and moments later, they violently smash the driver’s window.
And notice how the driver doesn’t try to flee until ICE violently escalates everything.
He drives around the ICE vehicle, makes it into the street… not hitting a single ICE agent, or vehicle.
Then, AFTER the car is already past every agent, and driving away, an ICE agent opens fire.
The law is pretty clear… officers may only use deadly force, against a fleeing person, if they have probable cause to believe that person poses an immediate threat of death, or serious physical injury to the officer, or others.
So, where was the immediate threat?
The car had already passed the agents… and was driving AWAY.
ICE also claimed Lara-Hernandez had a criminal history of assault, and that this was a targeted enforcement operation.
Yet, publicly available court records reportedly do not show any active warrants.
Federal agents don’t get to point guns at people without legal justification. They don’t get to fire at a vehicle after the immediate threat has passed. And they don’t get to lie to police about what happened.
So, when are we going to start holding these agents accountable?

I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize.
No President in History has ended the same war so many times.
Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.
No President has ever done this before.
And he is nowhere near finished ending it.
It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
If you live in Guam, Micronesia or the Northern Mariana Islands, now is the time to PREPARE for disruptive and dangerous impacts from what will become Typhoon Bavi.
If you live in the Philippines, Japan or Taiwan, be AWARE. Senior meteorologist @MatthewCappucci has update soon.
