🔥🔥GEN (Ret.) Mark Milley KNOCKS IT OUT OF THE PARK by saying what everyone who's ever served should be saying right now:
"We don't take an oath to a king or queen or tyrant...We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We take an oath to the Constitution!"

In the military, you train to handle and store firearms. You must re-qualify every year to prove competency. We aren’t safer or freer as a society when there’s easy access to guns, especially for people with little training. We must put an end to mass shootings, not enable them.

Can’t believe we even have to say this, but: if you just went to the Senate floor and blocked benefits for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits while serving our country in a war zone, you are wrong.

“If this is America First, then America is fucked.”
Take 10 minutes to watch Jon Stewart tear into Republicans for blocking a Senate bill providing benefits to veterans, including for those exposed to burn pits.
Brandon retweeted
Veterans should be getting the care they need and deserve from being exposed to burn pits while serving, but leave it to a Republican to keep vets waiting. It's remarkable, for how much the GOP says they love vets, they barely ever show it. We need the PACT Act NOW, @SenToomey!

The problem with SCOTUS looking to whether a “right” is “deeply rooted in our history or traditions” is that our history and traditions are filled with genocide, slavery, brutality and misogyny. Why should we limit our “rights” to things that have only existed for those in power?

Couldn’t miss seeing this crochet mural of @VP Kamala Harris in honor of International Women’s Day.
Across the country, 150 people each crocheted a square to create this work of art.

Kids sometimes have imaginary friends. Adults have imaginary enemies. Be kind to one another.

Conservatives always talk about how government should run like a business.
If a CEO went to Cancun and skipped the big board meeting with the company about to go under, they'd be fired.
When a senator does this, they just say "fake news" and continue their 6-year term.

The UCMJ fails survivors of military sexual assault and fails to protect future victims from repeat offenders.
Take adjudication of sexual assault crimes away from the military. We’ve proven we can’t handle it.

I have often wondered how many ideas have been lost to the self censorship of women who don’t have the energy to be shouted down.

To be clear, it doesn’t matter what any senator says in a post-impeachment speech.
The only thing that mattered today was how they voted.

Resilience is very different than being numb. Resilience means you experience, you feel, you fail, you hurt. You fall. But, you keep going...
