‘Bold moves’??? Let’s call it what it is: lawlessness and corruption!

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Fabulous defeat for the fascists!

Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing. This is not a monetary proposition, let alone a "deal," but rather the demand that Ukraine become a permanent American colony. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

Yep.

He should be our messenger.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

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.

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

Sean Hannity’s interview with Donald Trump and Elon Musk was “an hour of conversation among three men who have no idea how American democracy works,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. theatln.tc/1ZbiqPfz

Well whaddya effing know

Trump wants you to forget that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator during his first week in office. Don’t forget.

It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for

Yes, they are talking about a concentration camp — and has anyone noticed what we seemingly aren’t talking about anymore? Attacking Panama.

Dark Pence is back.

Rubio keeps calling it a ‘conflict’. It’s not, it’s an invasion, an illegal war of aggression. It’s totally inappropriate to frame it as some kind of dispute to be resolved by bringing two sides together & arranging a compromise. Especially now, with the ‘mediator’ openly courting the aggressor.

Dear Canada, A whole lot of us are horrified and doing our best as opposition.... and yeah, we're also super-embarrassed by how stupid Donald Trump is and how crassly normalizing the New York Times is. sincerely, your friend on the left coast

Garbage. Just garbage. Every single one in this fascist bullyhood.

A sick and poor population is easier to control. It’s hard to resist when you are hungry and sick.

This was so beautiful, and I’m very happy I was able to attend. Sarah was as special as they come.

This is so very bad. My god.

The world knows

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

You’re sure as hell not getting my antidepressant. It took me 15 years to find the right one, and life without it was hell.

It's called The Gulf of Mexico. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

I don't care about what we call bodies of water. I don't care about the names of forts. I don't care about plastic straws. I care about fair elections. I care about the Constitution. I care about Rule of Law. Stay laser focused on these three things. Ignore the noise.

Yes he is.
