Lillian H. @LillianOrlando"Gen. Mark Milley just said what the media never will; “Biden is alert, sound, does his homework, reads the papers, reads all the read-ahead material, & is very engaging in issues of very serious matters of war & peace & life & death.” STOP focusing on President Biden’s age."07:38 PM - Nov 30, 2023![Picture]()

People don't realize what an immense privilege it is to learn of adversities secondhand as opposed to, you know, living through them. So when someone shares their lived experience, believe them. Then continue educating yourself so you can dismantle what caused the adversity in the first place.

Exactly this! Without Biden's leadership, none of this would have been possible.

To some, it isn't enough.
The truth is President Biden is doing everything he can.

If the Kansas City Chiefs won't do anything about this, the NFL should. The first action should be to refuse service and if the team refuses well, teams do value those draft picks

I was thrilled when I got this photo. I waited 3.5 hrs in 30 degree temps to get the flight shot. When he flew, he flew right towards me. 😛

FYI - Transgender, gender nonconforming, and drag are 3 distinct things. That said most bigots don't see any difference in anyone who falls under the LGBTQ+ umbrella and therefore to them an attack on one is an attack on all. There is nothing funny about portraying men as women to degrade them.

Losing 20 GOP votes seems like a pretty big deal. Hopefully that sticks because a Speaker Jordan would be truly awful.

Take note that when they sabotaged the gas pipe and the data cable between Finland and Estonia last week, that was two NATO countries whose infrastructure was damaged.
They are testing the NATO response.
