C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

From Ashley St. Clair's court filing last night. Elon is aware of it and is fully paranoid about assassination attempts.

After significant outrage and blowback, Whitman Walker has restored their trans healthcare page. They've changed the terminology from gender affirming care to transgender healthcare. www.whitman-walker.org/health-servi...

Shit what's he doing back here

I think the most wrong I have ever been as a political scientist was when I said in a public forum in 2020 that there would not be political violence in the US (Jan 6 was 2 mos later). Tonight’s purges are a clear precursor to more future such violence. This is textbook authoritarian abuse stuff.

‘We have a rule when we hear the sirens: if you’ve started operating, you don’t stop’: 24 hours with doctors on the Ukrainian frontline

In tonight's military purge, Tump nominated Dan Caine for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, a retired Lt. General so underqualified he'd need a waiver. Even odder: Caine was installed last month at 3 VC firms doing crypto, AI, and defense tech, including Thrive, founded by Jared Kushner's brother. 1/

"The United States and NATO can counter Putin’s criminal action and restore international order—not just in Europe, but anywhere an aggressive, authoritarian country might be considering a land-grab." All we have to do is do it. ICYMI @markhertling.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/marco-rubi...

BREAKING: The Department of Energy said DOGE firings of nuclear safety officials were non-critical staff. That is not true. In fact, one of the officials who was locked out of his work accounts was Acting Chief of Defense Nuclear Safety James Todd.

Wisconsinites, Elon Musk is wreaking havok on our federal government. Now he’s turned his sites on your Supreme Court. Don’t let Elon buy another election. Vote for Judge Susan Crawford on April 1st. Preserve your rights! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Mogensen was a Commander of the International Space Station.

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

The Internet is forever. I can't believe my own eyes.

I Was the Department of Education’s Only Civil Rights Monitor in Alabama—Until DOGE Happened: On February 12, Victoria DeLano was fired from her job in the Department of Education‘s Office for Civil Rights, a position she took in late December. Her termination—by phone, without the written notice…

This didn't take long.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

Commercials for meds are always like "Ask your doctor about trying Our Medication 🌞" Like woah woah, slow down there, bucko- have YOU ever asked a doctor for a specific med? That's how you get labeled drug seeking. Doctors figure out which meds to give you via telepathy & ancient forest magics ONLY.

Stephen King dropped in on X, after being gone since last year, to leave this little message…

🇺🇦 Vicepremier Yulia Svyrydenko: "Europa moet begrijpen dat de weigering van Rusland om het bestaan ​​van Oekraïne te accepteren niet alleen betrekking heeft op Oekraïne, maar op elk land dat Poetins fantasie van een imperium in de weg staat." Via: x.com/Svyrydenko_Y...

America's image has changed, says the Singapore Minister of Defense, "from liberator to great disruptor to a landlord seeking rent" www.mindef.gov.sg/news-and-eve...

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

All the tariff money collected from US importers, who will now pass on these costs to US consumers. Oh dear!

I wholeheartedly agree 👇💯

French President Emmanuel Macron: "Russia has produced a considerable war effort, with the result that Russia today invests 10% of its gross domestic product in arms production. In France, it's 2%. And we've almost doubled our budget since I've been here.
