Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

The Executive Order on transgender military personnel bans "invented" pronouns. All pronouns are invented, hence the armed forces may no longer use any pronouns. In the E.O.,Trump uses "me" to refer to himself. As commander in chief of the armed forces, he's violating his own pronoun ban.

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...

I am literally begging for the US media to have the basic testicular fortitude to call the spadiest spade that ever spaded A FUCKING SPADE, instead of "a card suit that resembled the suit played by Elon Musk at a post-inauguration poker game last month."

China already knows what kind of a person Musk is and always has been - they've just been able to position themselves as the one with the leverage. The US? Just beginning to learn, and having already handed over the reins...

The real reason libraries are so valuable is that if anyone talks to you there, you can legitimately just shush them. Right to their face. And scowl too. Brilliant.

Keep making art, my friends. Write, draw, paint, sing, play. And keep enjoying the art of others. Indulge in things that bring you joy. It's how you survive and it's what makes fighting so important. Fight as much as you can, but don't forsake joy.

10,000 King Soopers workers are currently on strike for better pay and working conditions. Instead of negotiating in good faith, parent company Kroger has been using scabs and prioritized $7.5B in stock buybacks. Don't tell me they can't afford to pay a living wage.

The guy who racked up almost $8T in debt during his first term has no interest in paying it down. The federal purge underway is to allow for oligarchs to make trillions in privatization and run roughshod in a deregulated landscape. Remember that in an oligarchy, everything is run by the oligarchs.

Prez @elonmusk and VP @realDonaldTrump are tearing apart the vestiges of American democracy and seek to destroy the democracies of former allies while supporting the tyranny of former enemies. A deep state of denial led by the energy-industrial complex is aiding this tragedy.
