Lots of structure

Oh my Godddd. The US Army chorus was told to perform at the White House for Trump and his cronies and they chose to perform One Day More from Les Miserables. What a gutsy move. A giant middle finger to authoritarianism right in front of Trump's face. Good for them.

To every member of the military and every civil servant fighting in big ways and small, public and private, to protect the Constitution and uphold the oaths you swore, thank you for your service. We see you and we love you. We're counting on you and we're all behind you 100%. Hold the line.

This made me actually tear up and feel a little hopeful. Everyone, no matter who they are needs to do their part. The Fascists are dangerous but they are few. Together we can all defeat them and keep the freedoms so many have fought so hard for.

Also I am living for these comments!

all the world will be your enemy

Will's Bruno of Ever Ready, owned by Will's Police Dog Kennels, 1922

"No photo has ever given justice to a Dog, neither does these two photos show Will's Bruno of Ever Ready as I see him in front of me. Whelped May 25th, 1920. Stands 25 inches at shoulder, as sound as a dollar, as true as steel, as gentle as a lamb, knows no fear."
