Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

This is what a leader looks like 🔥🔥 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇸🇺🇦 Geroyam Slava 🇺🇦 #SheShed

“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.” By NYT Greg Jaffe www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

It’ll always break my heart that we could’ve had an extraordinary President with Kamala Harris and instead we have a disgusting rapist criminal traitor.

Coke or Pepsi? Pepsi obeys in advance and rolls back #DEI. Coca Cola says diversity, equity, and inclusion is good for business. www.aol.com/dei-good-bus...

Himes: "It just looks like an episode of The Sopranos. 'Give us your minerals or we're not gonna help you fight a bloody butcher.' I mean, is this really we want the greatest country in history to be known for -- some mafia thing? ... this president is standing with the bad guy"

One of the things I've been working on this week is a set of maps of ancient greek cites, for a role playing game set in the post-Trojan war period. That's been a bit different for me, but lots of fun. Here's one of them.

Musk would have no trouble writing his accomplishments for the last week. 1) Fired loads of people from the US Government 2) Looked a drugged up moron with a chainsaw at CPAC 3) Neglected the healthcare of one of my children 4) Got into a paternity suit with my latest baby mom. 5) Took more drugs.

Justice for Marilyn is when bad things happen to "other people". Gays, Trans, immigrants, non-whites ... but when it happens to someone she is related to then it isn't justice anymore. Justice SERVES EVERYONE or it isn't justice.

Woman who voted for Leopards Eating People's Faces Party gets rude awakening. Read to the end.

The US government is now nonstop performative idiocracy.

A Putin controlled asset. The Russians have owned and cultivated him like Boris Johnson for decades. Boris went to Russia as a teen even before the Wall came down. These are useful pawns in Putin's game and he really needs Trump to come through as he was nearly out of the game completely.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

The others should have performed their duty to the constitution and told all serving troops to DISOBEY the dictator breaking the laws. If he resisted and tried to force their obedience they should have authorised them to use LETHAL force. That is what following your oath means.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Dr. King said of all the inequalities, inequality in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane. The proposal by MAGA extremists to cut YOUR Medicaid to give the wealthiest Americans a tax cut is inhumane. Light up those phone lines! (202) 224-3121 Don't Cut My Medicaid

What would Elon write if he was asked to do the same? It should be an asshole. This is wasting time. Actually if you think about this from Xeno's paradox everyone should now spend 100% of their time documenting what they do, documenting that they are documenting ... www.bbc.com/news/article...

Eggs are now so expensive they’re smuggling them like fentanyl.

Hegseth and Trump are incompetent evil personified. Admiral Lisa Franchetti, and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman CQ Brown Jr., are military leaders with LONG distinguished careers based on (plot twist) MERIT! 🤡 is driving our country off a cliff as the world watches. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

One other brilliant aspect of Judge Ho appointing Scalia clerk Paul Clement as his amicus: It'll make it FAR HARDER for Emil Bove to conduct his "weaponization" witchunt targeting (among others) Scalia clerk Danielle Sassoon.

GOP PLAYBOOK: Lie to your face, rob you blind, and hope you’re too stupid to notice. WATCH Pramila Jayapal expose the GOP’s lies in real time. USAID is 0.71% of the $6.13 TRILLION dollar budget. Meanwhile, The GOP is cutting YOUR benefits while giving Elon Musk unlimited taxpayer money.

So Caine is a tech bro and works for Jared’s brother. The kleptocracy and kakistocracy continues onto the military.

Full custody petition filing by Ashley St. Clair for sole custody of her child with Elon. iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewD...

Ashley St. Clair filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk for sole custody of their son. Nothing says "MAGA fAmiLY vALUeS" like the 4th baby mama demanding a paternity test in court. 🙄

"Piece Plan"

Finally, things explained in a context I can understand 😉🤣

Laguna Beach is an art colony. We support the arts. Chip Bok is the brilliant award-winning political cartoonist that created this artwork.

Nailed it.

Hegseth is the DEI hire. He is an ignorant, inexperienced drunk hired to be inclusive of even the worst kind of people

He thought she was stepping out, but rather than seek divorce, he forced a "romantic" evening on her that he felt she wasn't appreciative enough of, so while their 3 kids slept he beat her with a wine bottle, stabbed her 40x & sent pics of her dead body to her presumed lover saying "your fault"

Depressing brilliance from my pal Ruben Bolling.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

The Nobody Saw This Coming Brigade is already drafting their excuses. But they did see it coming. And so did we.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

She is keeping her foot on the gas: “[Because Rubiales was acquitted on one of the counts,] Jenni Hermoso intends to appeal in World Cup kiss case - reports”

We stand with those who exhibit courage in the face of oppression, recognizing their strength and leadership in organizing resistance. Their resilience is crucial in advancing meaningful societal change.

AOC: And he is running around because he thinks he got a bank account with a lot of zeros in it that it makes him some kind of super citizen. I don't think so.

'Get more aggressive': Trump eggs on Elon Musk in early morning Truth Social post flurry: In a series of posts on Truth Social over the space of thirty minutes, Donald Trump fired off five separate posts with one urging billionaire DOGE head Elon Musk to ramp up his government gutting efforts and…
