Trump just fired the country's senior military officer: Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., a four-star fighter pilot who became only the second African American to hold the chairman's job.

Let's get this straight. Read more here: wapo.st/2lsrChP Image by Occupy Democrats, LIKE our page for more!

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

The pattern of incompetent appointments is uninterrupted. 👇🙄 www.rawstory.com/trump-miami-...

Let me guess: they turn right toward fascism all the time! #SwasTesla #Swasticar

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

Intelligent people voted for Harris. Idiots voted for Felon47 or stayed home.

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

The Trump Administration has a strict conflict of interest policy. To serve, you must have a conflict of interest. Ethics = self-interest.

He nails it.

The NRA's dirty little secret is that it's opposition to the 1994 Biden ban on AR-15s is what built Mexico's cartels into the beasts they've become today.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Anyone in the SC General Assembly who promotes book bans and erases history must be voted out in 2026. Use your voice and your power to vote in every election.

Why would anyone who is a patriot and loves this country do this? Because Trump isn’t a patriot and doesn’t love this country. And together we must stop him.

"As we navigate the sheer quantity of hate and unconstitutional extremism found within these orders, it’s essential we not let this blitzkrieg distract or deter us." - Keith Thirion

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

I've taught 5th and 6th graders who were far brighter than Felon47.

TRUMP: You have a man who has let a country that had the more beautiful cities get demolished. The most beautiful domes. FOX: But that's Russia's fault, Mr President T: 1,000 year old domes. Everything is demolished. It's sorta like Gaza F: That's Putin's fault T: I get tired of listening to it

Edward R. Martin Jr. seriously needs the meaning of "dick" explained to him???

11 of the top 12 most dependent states are red states. Alaska is the most dependent on federal aid while California (49) and New Jersey (50) are least dependent, contributing far more than they receive. 43% of social welfare recipients are White.

Pete Hegseth is about to purge military officers—and make no mistake, this is 100% political retribution. 📌 Sec of Defense Pete Hegseth is planning to fire generals and top officers as soon as this week, per two Defense officials and three Congressional sources. Most of them tied to Lloyd Austin.

Our "president" is referring to himself as a "king" and siding publicly with murderous dictators. We need impeachment papers drawn up now.

Sickening. I will never forgive my idiot relatives who voted for Felon47.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Free speech is so important to the fabric of our nation that it is in the very First Amendment. This is the GULF OF MEXICO.

Dear business owners that voted for Trump, You could have had $50K in capital and a robust SBA. Instead, DOGE is cancelling all your government contracts and putting you out of business so he can have the contracts for himself.

Of course. But being the party standing up for those fired will mean a lot to those fired and their families. It will also show the country that they are trying to bring order to chaos. And if they can get any Republican support at all, that's huge leverage for March 14

I posted this was a lie right after Musk said it. This is the Commander of the ISS. Musk responded to this post by throwing a temper tantrum and calling for ISS to be defunded.

Is Mark Zuckerberg's sh***iness enough to make people delete their social media?

The work of @joshcowenmsu.bsky.social is key to understanding the voucher issue:

Call your Reps and oppose this it to critical health research! Post about its impact to social media. Alzheimer’s is an epidemic.

The good news is i saved you 60 billion dollars. The bad news is that is a typo i saved you 600 dollars and also your plane is falling out of the sky

Classic con structure: the big returns are coming!

These cowardly puppets would’ve stayed mute if their guy had blamed Poland for Germany’s 1939 invasion — something not even Adolf Hitler dared to do www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

I’m not sure how afraid of Trumpsuckers they are, but they are terrified of being primaried by Muskrat and losing their cushy jobs. Zero integrity.

Perhaps KFC believes Texas will do a better job of protecting them from RFK Jr?

Trump is a Russian stooge. Putin may as well written this himself. And any Republican in Congress who said they support our allies before, but are silent today over this, are worthless.

Great to start the day off right, running with UChicago Institute of Politics students undeterred by single-digit temps. They say there’s no such thing as bad weather - just bad gear.

1. The Senate confirmed RFK Jr at the same time as a massive measles outbreak was sweeping through areas of Texas with low vaccination rates. RFK Jr visited Texas yesterday. Not to address the burgeoning crisis but to continue to push anti-vaccine messaging.

I can’t stop thinking about these two headlines

SWAN: DOGE and SpaceX employees are now working directly at the FAA and DoD, agencies that have billions of dollars of contracts with Musk's companies or regulate them. How is that not a conflict of interest? TRUMP: Well I mean, I'm just hearing about it

Dear @nytimes.com: If *you yourselves* know that what Trump is saying is nonsense, put that in the headline.
