Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

It’s disgraceful that Elon Musk has terminated a critical FDNY grant aimed at studying diseases in the brave firefighters who faced the horrors of 9/11. DOGE’s shameful claim that this research is ‘non-essential’ is an affront to every hero who risked their life that day.

Trump was impeached for merely threatening to do what he is currently doing.

Let's be perfectly clear here: the people who could actually stop the administrative coup of the U.S. government are any given half dozen Republican senators and representatives, if they had any courage at all.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Been a Mets fan since 1962 (I was born and raised in Flushing). Don't expect anything less from them!! They're awesome (even when they suck hahaha).

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

American planes are crashing almost every day and the Secretary of Transportation is visiting the Daytona 500 and tweeting at Pete Buttigieg.

Last night @60minutes.bsky.social opened an otherwise superb segment on Germany’s approach to online hate speech by saying “in the U.S., most of what’s said on online [social media] platforms is protected by the First Amendment.” No.The First Amend protects us against GOVT infringements on speech.

Fucking cowards.

An alarming declaration not only attempting to justify Trump’s illegal actions, but also a thinly veiled call to action for the MAGA mob. Trump’s contempt for the rule of law is evident in both his words and actions. He is wildly attacking our government, including the U.S. Constitution’s system…

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

This is probably the most accurate take.

Yep.

US VP Vance had a private meeting with Far Right AfD leader Alice Weidel after his speech at the Munich Security Conference. They spoke about German domestic policy and the war in Ukraine. Just a reminder that the Far Right Legion of Doom is a global endeavour. They’re working together.

More of this, please. I commend this person’s bravery and honestly.

Well I suppose it’s good that they’re not trying to hide their sexism and racism anymore. Easier to know who to shun and ridicule. And who to fight. This is as blatant as it gets. Asshole.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Elon Musk re-shared a tweet containing Judge John McConnell Jr.’s daughter’s job and financial records on X after the judge ruled against DOGE.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Note: In 2024 alone, Musk’s enterprises were awarded approximately $3 billion across nearly 100 federal contracts, averaging about $8 million per day.

Many have argued with me about how I shouldn’t say musk rigged the election.. BULLSHIT Of course he did. And what did our Dems do about it!!🤬 I can’t wait to see how we get out of this fucking disaster! @youranoncentral.bsky.social looks like you’re our only hope.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to programs that millions of people rely on. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

What a disgusting cretin he is. The level of disrespect here is off the charts. I would have kneed him right in the balls. I guess I should be glad I'm not in politics lol. I don't suffer fools gladly.

Thank goodness for the American Medical Association. Here is their YouTube page. Please share far and wide. Right now bird flu is spreading throughout our country and most people have no clue.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

Elon hacked voting machines. Trump told us. And if Elon and his criminal incel hackers can hack our data from government computers, they easily stole the election for Trump. Trump cheated in 2016 and 2020. He succeeded the first time and failed the second time due to pandemic mailed paper ballots.

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

Hey everyone who cares abt the fate of the Palestinians - how is it working out for you after many of you thought Kamala wasn’t good enough & so you either didn’t vote or voted 3rd party or worse - thought trump would be ok? I’ve always believed a 2 state solution. But now trump will TAKE Gaza?

When Trump was asked "under what authority" would the U.S. take ownership of Gaza he responded, "America's authority." America has no authority to take countries of their choosing. That includes Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal. His Imperialism must be stopped.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.
