Just sayin'

It took ten years, but the NYT finally got there

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

The National Park Service fired many of its park rangers as part of a reduction in the federal work force. Some rangers decided it was worth the risk to speak out online about the cuts and share their love of the Park Service. “It’s scary, but it was the right thing to do.”

He’s been co-POTUS for 4 weeks. Not even a month. And they’re already calling for the likely future leader of the Democratic Party—a nonwhite woman—to be put in a cage. Twitter has many tweets like the one below. Everyone needs to understand: America is on very limited time now. Fascism is here.

Rep. LaMonica McIver: "We are at war!"

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜 The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization. Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

. So when exactly do the ‘checks’ and ‘balances’ part kick in? Or is that just a fun little slogan like ‘thoughts and prayers’?

Danes continuing their consumer goods branding based psychological aggression

The midair collision between a passenger jet and a helicopter over Washington on Wednesday night was the deadliest plane crash in the U.S. in more than 20 years. What went wrong? Listen to "The Daily."

Elderly camp survivors, some wearing striped scarves that recall their prison uniforms, walked to the the Death Wall, where prisoners were executed. Across Europe, officials were pausing to remember.

What communication systems cannot be tampered by Musk or Zuckerberg? Radio?

We will have victories and setbacks, good days and bad. We must understand that this will not be over in one election or with the defeat of any one candidate. This is the fight of our generation, and it will take time. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Today would have marked 52 years of Roe as the law of the land. But Donald Trump packed the Supreme Court with anti-abortion extremists to get it overturned. This week, he cut off access to reproductiverights.gov. We must keep fighting for women’s rights.

TRUMP'S 21TH CENTURY FASCISM Trump's 21th century fascism off to a good start with Nazi salutes?

Yep

Attorneys general from 18 states sued to block an executive order by President Trump that seeks to deny citizenship to babies born to unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. The states view Trump’s attempt to limit birthright citizenship as “extraordinary and extreme.” nyti.ms/3E2qr53
