As America is being torn apart, weakened, and sold to the highest bidder, I think about all the folks who told me, "Well, it won't be THAT bad" and "We survived 4 years of Trump..." and "The systems will hold." All of them are privileged and well-off. Alas. We're all in it now.

New on MSNBC: Elon Musk has sent out an email giving federal employees just over 48 hours to explain their job. The actual subject line: "What did you do last week?" Musk said online that not responding will be considered a resignation.

Trump is apparently sending this to all Federal employees with a Monday midnight deadline. Aside from its utter absurdity, my question is does the Donald have to address this too? Because with all that golf I’m not so sure he wants to be put under the same scrutiny.🤔

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This is huge breaking news. Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Chief of Naval Ops, Vice of the Air Force and all three JAG’s of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Watch this breaking news report we did for @votevets.org tonight. This is outragous. www.youtube.com/live/OdOjEdR...

Trump’s betrayal of Americans: He promised not to cut Medicaid—now he’s backing a House plan that slashes $880 billion from it. All to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. He doesn’t care if families drown in debt, as long as he & his billionaire buddies get richer. Don’t Cut My Medicaid!

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.

Did you know that Medicare does NOT pay for long-term care. NOPE. 2/3s of longterm care for your parents is paid by MEDICAID. If you want Medicaid cut, your parents wiil need to move into your house when they need long-term care & YOU will be providing it.

If you're shocked Trump is openly promoting white supremacy while violently deporting brown immigrants, then remember this isn't new. After WW2 the US Govt welcomed Nazis as refugees while blocking Black & brown immigrants. This is what "MAGA" has always meant. www.qasimrashid.com/p/why-februa...
