This year's National Guard's birthday comes after a painful tragedy. The First Lady and I continue to pray for the families and loved ones of Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, who lost her life last month in an ambush attack, and for Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, as he recovers from his injuries.
👀 Holy shit. Hey @forwardky.bsky.social, “guest author” means that you contacted the author and asked them if they’d like to write something for your blog. It doesn’t mean cross-posting their entire article verbatim without asking and making people think they wrote it for your publication.
There's a very real risk that US cybersecurity firms and US big tech firms in general could be compelled to become hostile within weeks or days (if they haven't already), and I'm taking what's going on with US gov, cybersecurity, and intelligence, very seriously.
My #1 new persistent cybersecurity recommendation for every country's government is to kick Microsoft out, switch to a Linux-based operating system, and kick every other US big tech cloud provider out. Start investing heavily in domestic alternatives, and donate to open source software projects.
Interesting layer of analysis on this well known quote. And still relevant to strategy now because a lot of right wing arguments are status threat encoded, but a bunch really aren’t. “Small government is better for the economy” is bullshit, but it’s not generally perceived as a race based argument.
We are heartbroken for the students, staff & community at Brown University, and are thinking of those who were hurt and killed tonight. We are in touch with our locals at the university & encourage people to listen to local law enforcement for more info. Please stay safe. #EndGunViolence
Hey Heritage Society bigots, eugenicists & other goons: Y’all can’t make REAL education vanish in this country. Human knowledge is forever. 100’s of 1000’s of those who’ve actually studied REAL civics & history are happy to “homeschool” the kids like this pro-Kat sister!
A reminder that the deadline to enroll in ACA coverage starting January 1st is Monday night in most states. In Idaho that’s the FINAL deadline for 2026 coverage. If you’ve been holding off in hopes of a last-minute deal…don’t wait any longer. Enroll before Monday night.
One more thing, to all my American friends, I love you, and my professional recommendations are in no way a reflection on how I feel about Americans in general, none of it is personal. I have many close American friends that I love, admire, and respect. It's not your fault.
“The old system, whatever its merits, is clearly and unequivocally broken and something new has to be built in its place. Something stronger, something more ready to use and comfortable using political power.” Fantastic essay and wild alignment with Terrance Woodbury’s talk at #Persuasion2025
1931 Kiel, Germany. Rachel Posner stares at the menorah&the ominous swastika outside Nazi headquarters across the street. Looking out her window, she understands the significance of the moment. She runs & gets her box cameras&snaps the picture that decades later become a defining photo of the Shoah.
You know what Goebbels said and that is ever true today?? This is what happened in this country! Those of you who allow yourself to be manipulated have convinced yourself you are in control when in fact you have given your power away and looked for a scapegoat instead of owning your own bias 1/
😲 I'm 72 years old, fit as a horse & I've fought bullies, (with words & not fists), for my entire life‼️ 😡 I'm not going to tolerate any bullying from Trump or from his cronies‼️ 🚨 They can bring on whatever they want to, but they shall NOT prevail‼️ 🤔 Anyone with me❓️
😲 I refer to Trump as POTUS "45" because, under the 14th Amendment (Section 3), an "Insurrectionist" is disqualified from running for Federal office! 🚨Thus, the enforcement of Constitutional Amendment 14.3 would've BANNED "insurrectionist" TraitorFelon45 from running in 2024‼️
😡Is THIS Awful Thing Happening in Your State? 😡Ohio ReTHUGlican legislators require Family Courts to appoint counselors to STEER women who've been ABUSED by husbands AWAY from divorcing! ReTHUGlicans next step is creating mandatory "Reconciliation Camps" to end divorce cases!
