In 1971, the Jim Crow era was over, but oppression carried on. Jimmy Carter was sworn in as Governor of Georgia.

In his Inaugural address, he declared “the time for racial discrimination is over”.

President Carter always had the spine to speak up, no matter the cost of the cause. Be like Carter.

There is a tuberculosis outbreak happening right now in Kansas. In 2025.

There is an Ebola outbreak in Uganda.

We are on the precipice of a major bird flu pandemic.

What does the president do? Cuts the CDC off from collaboration with WHO. This will cost lives.

Kansas tuberculosis outbreak becomes largest ever in US

The state has seen tuberculosis cases double between 2023 and 2024, with the CDC offering support on the ground.

When I was a platoon leader, I had two trans Soldiers in my platoon; two of the most motivated & high-quality Soldiers I’ve observed.

Around 15k service members are trans. Expelling trained & capable SM’s harms national security.

Most importantly, it’s immoral & goes against our national values.

Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com

News has just broke that Trump plans to eject trans people from the military within days of inauguration. Trans servicemembers who have served 19 years will lose their pensions and healthcare. This is obscene. They served our country, and will be kicked to the side like trash.

Trump reportedly plans to swiftly eject trans troops within days of inauguration

Trump’s actions could eject thousands of current trans service members

I can no longer comment on the Secretary of Defense, but I’ll say this.

Our military is the most powerful, not because of money or resources, but because of who serves.

We’ve always worked to be better & strive to fight for liberty. Troops deserve the best leaders. It’s a sad day for America.

Pete Hegseth could not even join the Army today because we don’t support extremism in the military.

He was removed from a deployment, got out, then wrote a letter titled “Fuck Biden”. This is not how an Officer behaves. He should not lead the U.S. military.

Pentagon pick left Guard after being reported as possible ‘insider threat’ due to tattoo

Pete Hegseth was barred from protecting President Biden’s inauguration in 2021 after enlisted soldiers complained that Hegseth’s chest tattoo might signify that he was a white supremacist. The D.C. N...

I know he doesn’t owe us absolutely anything, but now would be a great time to hear Dr. Anthony Fauci’s thoughts on the current & future bird flu situation.

Today, I’ll say it again. I swore an oath to the Constitution of the United States. Not to any person. Nothing else.

My heart aches for those enduring the wildfires in California. I can’t help but to think of those who have lost their home & loved ones today.

I’m thankful Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social has the capacity to be with his people on the ground & lead during life’s worst day for too many.

We just witnessed an ambush - a media lynching - from the President of the United States toward President Zelensky & a democratic nation.

The POTUS just said pull out & side with Russia or we’re out.

Ukraine didn’t start this war.
Putin is a dictator & a murderer.

We must stand with Ukraine.

ICE has now targeted good friends of mine - including American citizens - at a local San Antonio business. Here’s a reminder of your rights.

Share widely & speak up against the injustice happening in our country.

JD Vance & Pete Hegseth had an unsecured conversation re serious national security strategy in a GROUP CHAT with a..wait for it..journalist, “accidentally”.

In the military, we have something called OPSEC.

If I did this I’d be in TROUBLE. Potential jail-time.

Trump’s admin is unhinged & unsafe.

I’ll say it now. As a service-member, I will not support any unlawful order from the incoming President. I am confident the majority of troops will not abide by anything that goes against Posse Comitatus.

If you’re not a Veteran, you don’t salute during the National Anthem.

And you sure as hell don’t if you’re a bone-spurs draft dodger.

Even if you’re the President.

Leading experts including Dr. Wen, Dr. Deborah Birx, & Fmr. CDC Director Robert Redfield have all spoken this week about the threat of bird flu.

Elected officials should call on President Biden to authorize the bird flu vaccine now & ramp up testing before Trump takes office.

Gabrien Gregory @gabriengregory.bsky.social

Dr. Leana Wen just stated President Biden should authorize H5N1 vaccines & ramp up testing nationwide, especially for farmworkers. Have we learned nothing from COVID? Waiting around & hoping for the best is unacceptable. The threat is at our doorstep. www.cbsnews.com/video/dr-lea...

Dr. Leana Wen says for bird flu, "we should have learned our lesson from COVID" in testing

Dr. Leana Wen, the former Baltimore health commissioner, tells "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," that amid the concerns over the bird flu, the Biden administration should be making rapid tests ...

President Jimmy Carter was a fierce champion for democracy, human rights, & civic engagement.

Few people embodied the spirit of love & compassion for all people on Earth.

Forever grateful to have met him. May he continue to inspire for generations.

Rest in heavenly power, Mr. President. 🥜

They do not support the concept of a fundamental right to healthcare. They sold the American people out. They must be primaried and stay gone.

Chuck Schumer too.

The Soldiers I serve with deserve better than this. My sister who just joined deserves better than this.

The American people - who place trust in our military to provide security necessary for peace - deserve better than Pete Hegseth. He cannot be confirmed as SECDEF.

VoteVets @votevets.org

🚨VoteVets Senior Advisor Max Rose rips into Pete Hegseth for being wholly unqualified for Secretary of Defense: "Donald Trump's principal justification was that he's a good student..it's absolutely absurd, like he's trying to prop up some nepo baby for a job at Morgan Stanley."

Our military members & their families will suffer the brunt of this while they wait for delayed pay. We are less safe if the government shuts down.

“President” Elon Musk demanded R’s vote against the spending bill & they will obey him - an unelected billionaire tied to Trump.

Leo Shane III @leoshane.bsky.social

Delayed paychecks, closed base facilties -- here's what a partial government shutdown would mean for military families www.militarytimes.com/news/pentago...

Looming government shutdown could hurt military families, veterans

Plans to avert a partial government shutdown starting this weekend appeared scuttled after President-elect Donald Trump opposed the bipartisan deal.

Congratulations, @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social on your successful election as one of the new Vice Chairs of the DNC!

Rep. Kenyatta is the real deal. He will bring the energy we’ve been longing for & prioritize progressive values that will move our party forward.

Don’t follow Malcolm? You should!

This is insane! Democrats should drag this story through the mud. ⬇️ Demand hearings & Congressional subpoenas ASAP.

Call on SECDEF & VP to testify. This is all we should be talking about right now.

This is so incredibly dangerous & Americans deserve to know it.

I’ll take @petebuttigieg.bsky.social over Gavin Newsom any day of the week & it’s not even close.

I’ll take @aoc.bsky.social over Newsom any day of the week & it’s not even close.

I’ll take @andybeshearky.bsky.social over Newsom any day of the week & it’s not even close.

These are my 3 hopefuls.

Both of my nephews are sick, but thankfully have healthcare now that their mom is in the military.

I can’t help but to think of the kids across this country who are sick - who may not make it - because it’s too expensive to see a doctor.

We need Medicare For All & we need it now.

Just watched one of my all time favorite films, It’s a Wonderful Life (1946).

79 years later & we (collectively) have yet to learn the message.

Life throws enough curveballs as it is. Greedy bankers & developers only harm communities.

No working family should fear economic burden or retribution.

Donald Trump has officially led us into a trade war with our allies, Mexico & Canada via tariffs.

People will lose their jobs.
People will lose their small business.

This has nothing to do with growing the American economy. This is about screwing over working people & their families.
