I'm really a big believer that General Milley was one of the people who kept Trump administration from turning the US into The Republican Empire. His direct words, orders and actions to follow the Constitution in the event of spurious orders from on high, likely kept the Military from becoming the police of the administration.

I probably shouldn't even say this, but came across a transphobic joke from a generally nice-guy celebrity on a show from 1989 and it really hit me.

It was over thirty years ago, the celebrity has done more than enough for the trans community to atone for that joke. But to see it come out of the mouth of that guy as a throwaway line. Blargh.
