Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

You sent us to war on a lie, cut our health benefits, and voted against every veterans bill that has hit the floor. We are the 47% you refer to as the "takers." You don't give a f*ck about us

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.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

This is a big win for the crypto bros, Trump & his cronies who are making big bucks & catering to their wealthy crypto donors. Dropping the Coinbase lawsuit also legitimatizes opportunistic lawbreaking & advances the broligarchy's plans to embrace crypto as an alternate currency & destabilize the $.

🚨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!

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

As @petebuttigieg.bsky.social wrote on another platform: “The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?”

We really need to reckon with how badly the "Just focus on STEM" crowd damaged democracy. The general population would be falling for a lot less propaganda if they actually had to sit down and understand Fahrenheit 451 and To Kill A Mockingbird.
