πŸŒͺ️#TrumpChaos Debate: A #Veteran's Take

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

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

πŸŒͺ️#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

β€οΈπŸ“ˆ #COVID - A Love Story πŸ“ˆβ€οΈ

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 β€οΈπŸ“ˆ #COVID - A Love Story πŸ“ˆβ€οΈ

πŸ“ˆ #COVID - A Hometown Story πŸ“ˆ

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

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

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 🌎.

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.

Military #veterans know about rapid deployment in times of crisis. #ClimateChange is a crisis. Here’s my 2/14 testimony to the NY Senate EnCon Committee on behalf of Veterans for Climate Justice:
#NYOFFAct

@SenatorMetzger @toddkaminsky @judygriffinny Image 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.
