BREAKING from the #Swamp:

1/3 CARES Act cash given to the Pentagon to “prevent, prepare for, and respond to [COVID]. ..." we're diverted to defense contractors for body armor, dress uniforms, & engine parts.

Step down, @EsperDoD

Over to you @repmarkpocan & @RepBarbaraLee.
2/3 So, let me see if I get this right: the next time troops are called in to clear the way for the Donald to get a blasphemous photo op, troops will be sporting crisp new uniforms & the latest in body armor as they tear gas peaceful protestors.

3/3 And, maybe if the Pentagon hadn't illegally transferred DoD funds to build Donald's vanity wall, they'd still have money for uhhhh, let's say, life-saving medical supplies to protect Americans from a deadly pandemic.

🌪️#TrumpChaos Debate: A #Veteran's Take

1/7 Yes, of course you're right @JoeBiden. But WTH was that?!?

*Insert Trump Tornado emoji ---> 🌪️

I'm retired #Military, sir. USA & AF w/WH duty.
Well done. But know that I about crossed the 4th Wall here:

🌪️#TrumpChaos Debate: Vet's Take - 2/7
POTUS-elect #Biden: And speaking of my son & the way you talk about the military; the way you talk about them being losers & being suckers. My son was in Iraq-spent a year there. He got the Bronze Star. He got the Distinguished SVS Medal... Medals of Honor - RIP Major Biden

❤️📈 #COVID - A Love Story 📈❤️

1/5 When it seems only despair & fear is in the air, love finds a way.

Today, friends Regina & JP got married. 200 attended their beautiful ceremony. And yes, #SocialDistancing was observed. Thanks, @Facebook Live.

Why today, you ask?... ImageImage
❤️📈 #COVID - A Love Story 📈❤️

2/5 JP has COVID. Thankfully, he's well enough to still be at home but we can see our friend is struggling. ~ Realizing that life & love is precious, he & Regina chose to wait no longer to join their lives. Need a lift? Witness their love here:
❤️📈 #COVID - A Love Story 📈❤️

3/5 The wedding was held in their front yard so a few neighbors could attend--adhering to strict #SocialDistancing guidelines.

Regina & JP's son, Onyx, was their ring bearer. #CutestKidEver

📈 #COVID - A Hometown Story 📈

1/4 I was born & raised in Corning, NY. Ya know like, Corelle Ware, Pyrex, Steuben Glass? That “Little Blue Flower & a Whole Lot More?” Flood of ‘72? During the holidays, an @Corning building reads, NOEL. Now it reads: ImageImageImage
📈 #COVID - A Hometown Story 📈

2/4 My brother is now Mayor of Corning & so is called upon to unite its residents & help keep them safe. Here, an excerpt of his message to the city, printed in the @TheNewsLeader1. The same paper for which my dad was a reporter & City Editor. Image
📈 #COVID - Life Imitates Art 📈

3/4 The Mayor of Corning, aka, brother Billy, is also a pointillist artist. Check out this piece he did way back in 2004. It’s called “Martian Flowers.” Remind you of anything?

Today at the NYC Ballet’s Fall Gala
#ExtinctionRebellionNYC demanded the Ballet use its forum to address the #climate crisis and join cultural institutions to declare a #ClimateEmergency. There is no ballet on a dead 🌎.
@ExtinctionR @XR_NYC #TellTheTruth ImageImage
Silent ghostly-pale spirits danced in meditation wearing dramatic-red cloaks representing the blood of the species that are threatened by #ClimateChange.
@ExtinctionR @XR_NYC #CultureDeclaresEmergency
A die-in followed at the entrance to the Red Carpet. Extinction is the final curtain call for us all.

While shutting down traffic at Buffalo NY ICE office, a fellow disobedient thanked me for bringing #veterans ire to stop #KidsInCages & family separations. My reply: there's 1000s of us. Here's why I went: tinyurl.com/yy3ajlt6
#CloseTheCamps #LightsforLiberty #NeverAgainIsNow ImageImage
Thanks @NBCNightlyNews @maddow and @AP for telling the resistance story. Our #CloseTheCamps action in Buffalo called out the real estate moguls who are renting office space to ICE & DHS, thus profiting from state-sponsored child abuse. I’m a #veteran. I got arrested.

@JFMFofWNY Image
As the Buffalo 9 occupied an intersection at the ICE field office until arrested, we wore on our backs the name of a child who died in custody, at the hands of the U.S. gov’t. And so, 7-year old Jakelin Caal Maquin stood with me to say, #CloseTheCampsNow !
