Open discussion question: What would the pros and cons be of using repeal of the Permanent Apportionment Act as a mitigation strategy for gerrymandering?

Whether you are leading a business or planning the resistance, you need to run good meetings. Here’s how: Have a purpose, start on time, achieve the purpose, end on time. (Or early. Early is fine. Advisable even.) For a bit more insight, hit Play. (Thanks for the reminder, @to8lerone.bsky.social.)

Correct. Enlistment is a contract. Commission is an appointment by Congress “at the pleasure of the President” (Alas…) Under the law, officers serve to provide “best military advice” to the President & Congress. Here is the Oath of Commission I reaffirmed as a retiree on Nat’l Constitution Day.

Be willing to engage in civil discourse to strengthen links with those around you. We the People will get through this by uniting in shared values and lifting each other up.

Not all US military members are good. War is bad. This is not an endorsement of US foreign policy or the war in Iraq. It is a specific example of the standards to which the US mil is trained & ICE is clearly not. It is a caution. Link arms, lift up, lean on, support, carry, & shield each other.

Sharing some thoughts on setting boundaries for tolerance of @$$holes in the social media environment. Your mileage may vary. It’s a first-take-done to test the Captions app’s AI subtitling & graphics gen tool. Worked fine/fast, but I feel authenticity lost may be greater than efficiency gained.

Despite having come up in stage theater and being entirely comfortable performing as either a cast member or keynote, recording myself feels unnatural. So I’m following the advice I give to others & pushing beyond the perfection trap to just get on with it. Let’s link arms & lead together…

I'm a fan of the Roadhouse Rule: Be nice, until it's time to not be nice.

I developed these nine principles of Communication-Based Leadership while serving in the field as a Marine Corps Public Affairs Officer, because hyper-connectivity at the speed of Send was just emerging & it was obvious to me the doctrinal “principles of information” at the time were insufficient.

I anticipate we’re willing to put our lives on the line — & the same side that line — for similar reasons… Lili is our granddaughter.

In the dead of the night, Republicans tried to pass a shady FISA bill that lets the government continue to violate your rights without a warrant. Thankfully we defeated Speaker Johnson and the White House’s amateur attempt to jam it through without real debate. This overreach won't fly.

After reading my early '80s Ladybird book version at bedtime last night we've been on a Little Mermaid extravaganza! Watched today: the 2023 live action version, a 1970s Readers Digest cartoon (narrated by no less than Dr Kildare!) and best of the bunch - the trippy 1968 Soviet animation #filmsky

I hate putting out videos about the news, current events or politics because I know I will get abuse online. Don't try to reason with trolls, bullies and bots, just block them and move on with your life. It's so much better for your mental health.

Today, in every state in the country, we say loudly and proudly that as Americans, we will never accept authoritarianism. We will never accept government policy that gives massive tax breaks to billionaires and throw 15 million Americans off health care. - @sanders.senate.gov #NoKings

"What's been so striking is how many of those very same Republicans who were calling for the release of the files, had promised to get to the bottom of them, are now saying things that are just the opposite," said Stephen Hayes.

President’s Day is no longer just about presidents

Sec. Buttigieg: Most Americans agree with us that the government should be doing more and not less to make sure you can get health care, and that you can afford it. That means expanding Medicaid and expanding the Affordable Care Act — not tearing it down.

President Trump is not telling the truth about prices, tariffs, the war and the 2020 Election. And the most dangerous lie in 2026: The SAVE Act.

Storyteller extraordinaire Don Winslow has been warning us since 2015: “The Trump playbook is to start a fire every day in order to hide the fact he’s violating the First Amendment and stealing the election.” His new book “The Final Score.”
