Liberal-Progressive Dem concerned about rise of rightwing fascism. I am thinking about one of these things right now: food, human behavior, law, economics, astrophysics (layman), politics (active since I could walk), or words. Probably writing.

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

The nations top research universities (R1) are under assault by the Trump administration. Pitts has paused all PhD admissions for next year. Many R1 schools are also Division 1 NCAA schools. All SEC, Big 10, ACC, Big 12, Ivy League schools. Suspend sports and explain it is due to Musk, Trump

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

Congrats to Trump’s new picks for top military posts for meeting the job description. You don’t have to say yes, you know.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

Run the government like a business. More specifically, run it like the Enron Corporation in the late 90s

Much media coverage: These Pentagon moves are unusual but Trump's within his rights and wants supporters of his America First agenda. The truth: How is removing the JAGs relevant to any agenda? New, Hegseth-selected JAGs are needed for total loyalty to Trump and finding all his orders lawful.

Buffett’s annual letter is out — and includes this message to “Uncle Sam” about the tax Berkshire will pay: “Spend it wisely. Take care of the many who, through no fault of their own, get the short straws in life. They deserve better.” 🇺🇸 www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2024...

Trump's initial reaction to the invasion of Ukraine was that it was "genius" and also that he would have never allowed it.

The worst part of this North Korean style sycophancy is that we all know Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this and Trump knows Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this.

Daily reminder of who Musk is:

What are Musk and his hackers doing in the Social Security Administration? Americans paid into these accounts with our hard earned money. It has nothing to do with the deficit. That was caused by GOP tax cuts largely for the rich and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

President Trump's purge at the Pentagon is a major step toward creating an officer corps personally and absolutely loyal to him, @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. theatln.tc/V6pB4qcF

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Correction: I called all POC Trumpers "Chickens for Colonel Sanders," including Indian Americans like Kash Patel and Nikki Haley. Thanks for sharing the clip! MSNBC Guest Calls Black Conservatives ‘Chickens for Colonel Sanders' mediaite.com/a/jdsje via @mediaite

AOC: “Elon Musk is not going after efficiency — he is trying to gut everything good in 🇺🇸 for his own private profit… America is not for sale.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGXObpu...

If this happened in a foreign country we’d call it a purge

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.
