1/4🧵The Trump family's linkage w/an Iranian Revolutionary Guard via an oligarch is old news. I was employed with a corp due diligence firm in NYC at the time and a case we were working overlapped with Trump's scheme.

motherjones.com/politics/2022/… 2/4 Bottom line is Trump has financial entanglements with despotic regimes in Russia and Iran. Iran has provided Russia with military parts and logistical support against Ukraine.

In 2017, as POTUS, Trump gave intel about Israel's Iron Dome to Russia.

🧵Content below is my opinion and is my last essay thread before 11/5 as I am strategically prioritizing real activism.

1/ I plea with my fellow citizens to not let their kids become like Germany's "Silent Generation."

#VetsResist 2/ Silent Generation was born between 1928-1945.

In America, for many GenXers like me, these were our parents who were young children during the Great Depression and WWII. They were too young to be the "Greatest Generation" nor were they the attention seeking Baby Boomers.

It was after sabbath services.

#VetsResist Image 2/ Truth is I needed a spiritual break from politics. I hadn't attended synagogue in weeks. My Financial Crimes Compliance job has been intense and I've prioritized activism over Shabbat.

But even activists with Vulcan avatars posting on toxic social media platforms are human.

web.kamalaharris.com/forms/commit-t… 2/ Let that sink in.

As Israel's Mossad recently demonstrated, even lower tech pocket pagers can be made to explode and kill its targets.

I certainly do not sympathize with Hezbollah terrorist murderers being killed.

But guess what? Technology now makes ALL of us vulnerable.

1/ United States of America collectively is suffering from generations of PTSD. As a nation we are simultaneously the cause as well as victims of self-inflicted terror.

#ProudBlueEditorials
#ResistanceRoots

#VetsResist 2/ Within individuals, PTSD may stem from a continuing family history of alcoholism or spousal/parental/child abuse over generations.

If not family related, other causes such as sex predators, horrorific experiences from military combat or surviving a random catastrophic event.

1/ I was 13 when I became an activist in the early 1980s. Sadly, as a kid, I quickly learned to fear houses hanging American flags.

Invariably, they were hostile to any issue I cared about.
#ProudBlueEditorials

#ONEV1
#VetsResist Image 2/ This confused me as it was Democrat and liberal, John F. Kennedy that challenged us to, "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country."

What's forgotten about that iconic line is how JFK linked patriotism to freedom.

1/ Moses led ancient Israelites from bondage to the promised land's doorstep.

An aging Moses then handed the baton to Joshua, who crossed Israelites over to the land of milk and honey.

#VetsResist Image 2/ Someday, @JoeBiden's passing the baton to @KamalaHarris will be looked upon as we view the biblical reference to Moses and Joshua.

Joe Biden inherited a catastrophe. Our country's physical health, economy, institutions, and global alliances had to be stitched back together. Image

Answer is most of us were and remain wage earners put at risk by our own prejudices. There is a better way.

#VetsResist Image 2/ This lady, I'm guessing she was about 30, had two young boys that were often with her when shopping. The boys had holes in their clothing and her hands had calluses. Anyway, this mom and her boys always seemed happy, fun-loving and appreciative. She had an infectious laugh.

#VetsResist 2/ As I game this out, I regret to say that the consummate institutionalist, Joe Biden, may have to invoke emergency powers via the Insurrection Act of 1807 to safeguard our democracy.

I hope to hell I'm wrong. If I'm right, the popular vote will matter.

1/ It was the fall of 1982. NFL players were in the midst of a seven week strike and my dad was watching one of those evangelical preacher scam artists on cable TV. It was a teaching moment.

#VetsResist 2/ Today, August 24th would have been my dad's 90th birthday and random memories are popping up like this one.

NFL player's strike had disrupted our Sunday routine. Nonetheless, dad was an observant yet liberal Jew, so I was confused as to why he was watching this preacher.

#VetsResist 2/ People waging their finger at you about being alone or not having kids is inexcusably cruel, condescending and insulting.

We all have unique back stories, traumas and circumstances that shape our lives. And there are moments when being single and alone cut to the bone.

#VetsResist 2/ We all have a lizard brain. Indeed, we all need it to live. Our impulses to mate, feed, fight or flee, stem from the always alert inner lizard in our minds. Our inner lizard also helps us survive winner take all hostile social environments such as middle school or an office.

1/ I am white man hear me roar.

Roaring whiney white men has defined the GOP since 1964. It's now been 60 years of the GOP offering nothing of value to most Americans. That's all they got.
#ProudBlueEditorials
#ResistanceRoots
#ONEV1
#VetsResist Image 2/ Their decades long misogynistic and xenophobic primal scream has been a cultural weapon of mass destruction. The real purpose of their white men hear us roar paradigm was to dupe working people into accepting a grotesquely unfair risk/reward life ratio.

🧵@MarlingaForMI10 belongs to the political party that champions freedom for all and as responsibility from all and also knows when to mind its own damn business. GOP incumbent John James is an enabler of hate, anger and oppression.

#VetsResist 2/ To be sure there has also been a tradition of noblesse oblige in America amongst the privileged class. Franklin Roosevelt for example was even referred to as a "traitor to his class" during his presidency. George Herbert Walker Bush was a naval pilot in WWII. Image

But it's actually not that easy. Far from it. Most of us, including myself, do not possess this quality.

#VetsResist 2/ To provide a little context, millions of Democrats, including me, were duped by Edwards. I won't regurgitate his political and personal history here. Suffice to say Edwards was driving the debate on healthcare far more than Obama or Hillary Clinton.

2/ Hence, my angry letter posted on this platform yesterday to Senator Schumer and Speaker Emeritus Pelosi. Like many of you, I have devoted decades of free labor, precious spare time, and yes, $$$ I could have saved for retirement to Democratic candidates because I give a damn.
