Republican states have the worst schools in America (only 5 of the top 20 states for 8th grade reading proficiency are "red"), but former weekend infotainment blabber Pete Hegseth is forcing these failed policies on students in military-run schools: https://plus.flux.community/p/department-of-defense-schools-move

"While obeying orders is a cornerstone of military discipline and effectiveness, the primary obligation of service members is not to obey commands, but to obey the law. It is their duty to refuse illegal orders.

All U.S. military members have sworn an oath to protect the Constitution. This oath is not just a verbal commitment — it is a deep moral and legal obligation to the American people."

He said the current admin’s efforts to shrink the WF will send away essential personnel & jeopardize the agency’s most basic functions.

Peace with someone who serially breaks that peace is not peace, it's a prelude to war.

@mcnado My mother had TB when I was a child and they put her in a TB hospital. We were sent to an orphanage. Me and my youngest brother had shadows in our lungs after x rays so we were isolated for two months together in a hospital room at the orphanage. When they released our mother from the hospital and finally let us go home from the orphanage we had to take antibiotics for two years. None of the neighbors would talk to us or come near us because TB was feared. Resurgence is bad.

Headline in WaPo:

"Washington now ‘largely aligns’ with Moscow’s vision, Kremlin says"

Not "Democrats say", or "liberals conspiracy theorists say"....KREMLIN says. And by Washington, they mean the government, which entirely is under republican control.

How much clearly can it possibly be made that in just ONE month, Trump has turned over our country to Putin?

Oh, and how's that whole price of eggs issue working out for you Trump voters?

"Somehow, in the war between Russia and Ukraine, the first country to surrender was America."
