Being radicalized increasingly since 2016 has just been banging my head against this post indefinitely.

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.

My warmest greetings go out to the wonderful people who built their careers sniffing out “Ukrainian Nazis” under every stone in Ukraine for tasty headlines that fueled Russian war propaganda on this-is-why-Ukraine-must-be-dealt-with, only to get Nazi salutes normalized in their own country.

It is honestly almost impressive that Trump has gotten so many people to just go along with pretending m tariffs work in this made-up way. It’s not like it’s some obscure technical point. It’s as if he had a bunch of people saying yeah, of COURSE dogs lay eggs.

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

Using Twitter regularly is highly unethical, and a significant personal failing for people that do.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

Gift link. The actual story of the shackled people being deported without even being told where they were being taken — maybe to countries where they’d face torture or death — while their terrified children cried.😢 The White House posted that pic with “ASMR” tag. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

This is so disgusting. And I hate to tell ya, but they look forward to many more savings… and if you aren’t taking precautions, you’re going to help them.

In 1938, Nazi Germany held "peace talks" about Czechoslovakia with England, France, and Italy. The Czechs were not there. In 2025, Putin's Russia is holding "peace talks" about Ukraine with the US and Saudi Arabia. The Ukrainians are not there.

Folks, stop mocking RFK’s appearance, voice, and history of addiction. You’re saying that his looks, drug use & the way he sounds are legitimate reason to judge and dismiss him, and you aren’t too far away from his argument that the mentally ill are fundamentally broken and not worthy of dignity.

This is very important and concerning. The NIH funding freeze is still in place. NIH can't issue new awards if proposals aren't approved by Council. OMB is using a technical work around to prevent these meetings from happening. NIH can't post meetings, so they can't actually have them.

“kek” is how nazis identified online when there was moderation anytime your nazi account got banned, you’d start another, looking for “frens of kekistan.” (aka nazis) the slang took off and a lot of people say “frens,” now. but that’s not how it started, and the “kek” is still nazis

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

My latest piece at @thenation.com takes issue with the conventional wisdom that the Dems don't know how to fight Musk's GOP brownshirts effectively. They know how. We know this because they've been waging that kind of ruthless fight against the left for 25 years. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

When ordered by Nazis to give lists of disabled people by disability severity, some doctors sent back exaggerated data to protect patients from forced work They didn't know that the "most disabled" were to be killed first The moral here isn't to tell the truth It's to never co-operate with Nazis

At this point, anyone who still believes we’re going to have normal elections in four years is hopelessly naïve. They’re laying the groundwork for a permanent Christian nationalist state.

Heartbreaking story. Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, age 11, took her own life after her bullies constantly threatened to call ICE to have her Hispanic parents deported. Her story is one of the many real human consequences of Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric. youtu.be/vwMGdnM24Cw?...

Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure one reason they’re going so hard so fast right out the gate is to create situations where anyone with any kind of scruples or respect for law has to resign or disobey & get fired.

The federal firings this weekend happened while Democratic Senators were out of town for a four day weekend. Our government was harmed. Imagine what D Senators could have done— going to agencies, going to fired workers’ houses, doing videos w/ the great people who were fired. @schumer.senate.gov
