Absofuckinglutely!

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

MUST WATCH: Scott Fitzgerald is out here LYING to his own constituents while backing Trump and Elon Musk as they gut their benefits, cut their healthcare, and kick them out of nursing homes. How do you look your own people in the face and still vote to ruin their lives?

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

Trump Fires Joint Chiefs Chairman Amid Turmoil at Pentagon Call it what it is: Racism and white supremacy. We won't go back to 1925 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Let’s make him FAMOUS, shall we?! 👇 You know what to do.

Hey orange convicted felon, Canada has a message for you 🤣

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Trump is why we can’t have nice things.

"...you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions." He didn't pick this one because it's any kind of colorable or even the closest they could find. It was *because* it's so weak, to flaunt how unlimited they are.

This morning, my colleagues and I stood in front of FBI headquarters to make it clear to everyone who wants an FBI focused on violent crime and not on political retribution: Kash Patel would be a disaster as FBI Director.

Suffer the children.

In case you were wondering!

There have been thousands of generations of humans, and you are alive to witness the first photo of a Sunset on another World. This is a real photo of the sunset on Mars. NASA 💫💙💫💙💫💙💫

(yes, this is my favorite gif lol)

Only one political party is concerned about this www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Update: we are about to vote on an amendment that would help prevent increases in your energy bill. That’s money back in folks’ pocketbooks. Let’s see where GOP priorities are.

Wow. Piers Morgan @piersmorgan As many inexplicably seem to be throwing President ⁦ @ZelenskyyUa ⁩ to the wolves, I stand with him. He’s been an astoundingly courageous and inspiring leader in horrendous circumstances, and deserves so much better than the way he is currently being treated/smeared.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Raise your hand 🖐️ and Repost if you think felon and lunatic Donald Trump is unfit to serve as president! I want all of my 168K friends to follow YOU! 💙 Like ❤️ and repost 🔄 and you will get MORE followers! 🚀 Who agrees? 🖐️

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Finally - I've been saying this for weeks but my sphere of influence is teeny. Why give money without accountability? Why give money when musk and the rich don't pay?

@lukeharding1968.bsky.social thank you for your well researched and clear reporting - especially on Ukraine. Especially now, we need this information to reach Americans.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f... What an bully

If you must respond to the white House and you are not on musk's platform - the email is [email protected] The demands against #Ukraine by these money grubbers is appalling
