1/7 Yes, of course you're right @JoeBiden. But WTH was that?!?
*Insert Trump Tornado emoji ---> πͺοΈ
I'm retired #Military, sir. USA & AF w/WH duty.

πͺοΈ#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...
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:
1/4 I was born & raised in Corning, NY. Ya know like, Corelle Ware, Pyrex, Steuben Glass? That βLittle Blue Flower & a Whole Lot More?β Flood of β72? During the holidays, an @Corning building reads, NOEL. Now it reads:
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.

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. Iβm a #veteran. I got arrested.
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. govβt. And so, 7-year old Jakelin Caal Maquin stood with me to say, #CloseTheCampsNow ! @Lights4Liberty @Rosie
Military #veterans know about rapid deployment in times of crisis. #ClimateChange is a crisis. Hereβs my 2/14 testimony to the NY Senate EnCon Committee on behalf of Veterans for Climate Justice: #NYOFFAct
In my testimony, I cite 2019 Pentagon findings showing that #climatechange undermines military readiness: two-thirds of our operationally critical bases are now threatened by flooding, drought, wildfires & and other extreme conditions driven by climate instability.
Also, our intel communityβs 2019 annual report, which finds that #climatechange is a source of global chaos, posing risks that are βlikely to fuel competition for resources, economic distress and social discontent through 2019 and beyond.β
