Pfc. Barnes, observed a grenade thrown into the midst of severely wounded personnel. Realizing that the grenade could further injure or kill the wounded personnel, he sacrificed his life by throwing himself onto the hand grenade as it exploded.

Weak people are abusive, spiteful bullies, predators, narcissistic and manipulators... They don't respect anyone's rights or protections.. they mock and belittle them...
Manipulation is when you're blamed for your reaction to the problem they created. This form of abuse aims to instill chronic doubt and condition the victim to question their own memory, perception of events, and sense of reality. You’re not dramatic. You're being manipulated.

Abuse requires an imbalance of power & control, so 'mutual abuse' rarely happens.
Being abused long-term distorts the survivor's behavior so they may look 'crazy' & 'bad', but it's the effects of the abuser.
How the survivor acted while being abused is NOT their real self.
Inciting violence against members of Congress & their families causes real violence! Yet Rs like @RepAndyBiggsAZ continue to use the vicious attack on Paul Pelosi for political gain. I doubt he’d find it as funny if it were his spouse who suffered a cracked skull.
Brilliant, crystal sharp words, thoughts, FACTS. Military suffers from failure to take cate of its most precious, its country people defending us. America we owe our scs mbrs the best support, not leaders who only protect themselves, their peers and the brand.
Women sent a clear message Tue-we're fighting for our rights! That's why I led a letter w/130 of my colleagues, including @DemWomenCaucus, to @SenSchumer & @LeaderMcConnell calling for a vote on the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. It passed in the House in 2021! Why the holdup?!
