BREAKING: Donald Trump just fired General CQ Brown (left) and has replaced him with the less qualified Lt. General Dan Caine. DEI isn’t a problem if you’re white.

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

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.

Musk & DOGE are now f*cking with the Social Security Administration. 🚨 IMPORTANT: If you or a loved one experience delayed SS payments or difficulty accessing SSDI services, CALL THE PEOPLE’S HOTLINE! Tell your story. ☎️ 503-212-4600 ☎️ Pass it on:

Geek PINO racism post if the year. No whitewashing allowed.

He nails it.

Trump administration is threatening to cut off Starlink in Ukraine, if Zelenskyy does not sign The U.S. proposed mineral deal. This Is Disgusting.

Geek #TheRegime post of the day. So true. So Republican. So MAGa.

I know there’s a lot of controversy around DEI programs, but im grateful for the chance to introduce my new program: Homogeny, Intolerance, Totalitarianism, Loyalty, Exclusion, & Racism (still trying to figure out a catchy acronym since it’s so long but once I do I’m sure everyone will be on board)

"root out diversity" is one way of putting this.

More subtle outcomes of litigation. Courts have not just blocked DOGE and other actions, but also forced Gov to produce answers and commitments. Friday night's Treasury decision requires: Gov certifying what is the security clearance process for DOGE team; revealing authorizations for DOGE; more⬇️

Whenever you ponder how Trump could possibly be president, remember the old saying: “Don’t underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.“

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com As a reporter, James Gerstenzang covered five presidents and is familiar with the conventional disputes between journalists and presidents. But Trump's ban on The AP "is emblematic of the broader assault by the White House on the public's right to know," he writes.

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.

Geek DEI post of the decade. PINO is a racist and is firing women & minorities without cause. F these a-holes, NOW. Everyone of the DEI staffers needs to be reinstated and get raises since PINO broke the law. One taint taints the whole process. Life’s a bitch, MAGA.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

it's Saturday, and it's time for "this week in stupid: February 22 edition" — fake-Donny dances, Proud Boy prances, and so much more... thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

King Musk-Trump removed the Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour (without cause) and trying to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander. Yep, being Black is a crime.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Friday that he was firing Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the first female officer to rise to the Navy’s top job of Chief of Naval Operations, and would be looking for her replacement.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

“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.

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Brown had to go - he was serving his country while black.

This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

200 million dollars of waste.

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Chief of Naval Operations Vice Chief of Staff for the Air Force The Coast Guard Commandant And is looking to replace the Judge Advocates General for the Army, Navy and Air Force Will anyone stop him if he tries to use the military against US citizens

More Good News For Us That’s Bad For Trump We all could use some good news after another week of the Trump and Musk madness. And that’s what I’ve got for you today. I hope it gives you a break from this chaos—even if just for a moment.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

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

Extortion, pure and simple.

When these inaccuracies were first found, they could be called "mistakes." When DOGE took efforts to cover them up, they can no longer be considered "mistakes."

“The CFPB is there to make sure that Elon's new project can't scam you or steal your sensitive personal data...This is like a bank robber trying to fire the cops, and turn off the alarms just before he strolls into the lobby.” US Sen. Elizabeth Warren More here:

Leaders of the Social Security Administration had just opened an investigation into a career employee they believed was improperly sharing information with Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team when President Donald Trump elevated the employee this week to acting commissioner.
