My White House Day with ARMY

Fierce Planet Posted on June 9, 2022 by jnfrJune 24, 2022

This extraordinary woman

Fierce Planet Posted on March 24, 2022 by jnfrMarch 25, 2022

Ketanji Brown Jackson is, not surprisingly, more qualified than any recent candidate for the Supreme Court. Seeing the way Republicans treated her yesterday was disgusting, disturbing, horrible. That she sat calmly and responded with dignity was no surprise, but still beautiful to see. At least we had some moments like this one. "I would tell them to persevere."
