Like tell troops to fire on US citizens....add to the changes in the military chain of command, the pardoning of the J6 criminals, and the erasure of the police monitoring data base. It's not hard to see what they are getting ready to do.

Trump just fired the nonpartisan Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Chairman Brown is a respected leader and an accomplished fighter pilot. Trump is trying to stack the military with loyalists who will put what’s best for Trump over what’s best for America.

Brad Schimel has spent his career as an extreme right-wing politician. As WI’s worst AG, he used his power to force his own dangerous agenda on Wisconsin, including fighting against reproductive freedom & access to contraception. There are options! VOTE FOR Susan Crawford, Wisconsin!

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

It’s time to start wrapping our heads around the real possibility that collective action and even a general strike are required. Musk is working fast to solidify control, do as much damage as possible, and party “opposition” is not up to the fight. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/collective...

Y'all notice this hypocrisy? •Musk gets $20B+ in federal subsidies—is celebrated! •NPR gets ~$3M in federal grants—Trump wants to shut it down as "wasteful." This isn't democracy—it's autocracy & an all out war on free press. Here are two ways we can fight back: www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-war-on...

It is both breaking my heart and making me incandescently angry that one of the few silver linings of covid is the rapid progression of mRNA vaccine treatments for cancers - right as the GOP has declared all out War both on science as a whole and on mRNA vaccines specifically.

Reminder- John Lewis was a student, not an elected representative, when he stood up for justice. Each of us can choose to do the same. Let his life be a shining example to us all.

Every time I see this framing- that the Democrats are the ones who will lead us out of this, I am reminded that no politicians led the fight to abolish slavery, get women's suffrage, the civil rights movement, etc. It is us- WE THE PEOPLE - who have to do the work. We can lead! We must!

"[O]ffenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021" — the pardon language — now means whatever the fuck Pam Bondi, Emil Bove, and Donald Trump say it means, apparently.

This could be one way that the Trump administration attacks abortion access, which in red states is now largely conducted by sending pills through the mail.
