And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

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...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

200 million dollars of waste.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

This is General Charles Brown, Jr., Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (highest ranking military officer in the military). He spent an entire 30+ years of service to the U.S. in our defense. Donald Trump just fired him. This is unacceptable.

MAINE VS CONVICTED FELON, who should be strait jacketed & hauled off to federal prison where he belongs. Governor Janet Mills issued the following statement today regarding Trump's unlawful threat to withhold Federal education funding from Maine: tinyurl.com/24e5hkzx

Womp womp

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Over half million people could be taken away from the lives they built here. This is sick. The right defending this is sick. You’re just bigots.

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?

Trump fired Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, CQ Brown. We are sacrificing American excellence to satisfy 🟠‘s demented need for allegiance. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Trump fires chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff... Minutes later, Hegseth released a statement in which he fired Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the chief of the Navy and the first woman to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/politics/trump-fires-top-us-general-cq-brown

Universities really need to pay attention to this. It's not just about the indirects and frozen funds. If these layoffs continue, which by all signs are continuing and going well beyond probationary employees, ***these agencies will not be functional, including NIH, CDC, and NSF***

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

www.juneauempire.com/news/only-tw... Anybody have a trip planned to Alaska this summer? Hoping to go see the world famous Mendenhall Glacier just outside Juneau? It’s a hot destination for cruise ships. Due to DOGE, they have one person left for a destination that sees over 700,000 visitors a year.

The federal government is firing the people who manage America's most important natural habitats and make them accessible for the local tourism businesses that rely on that traffic... right in the beating red heart of Florida. Making America Galled, Again.

Back in 2021, @jbf1755.bsky.social & @hcrichardson.bsky.social did an episode about the postal service on their much-missed podcast “Now & Then.” I suggest you have a listen to understand the USPS and the implications of privatization. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

Musk is indiscriminately firing NPS Rangers -- people who have dedicated their lives to protecting our precious national parks and those who visit them This now unemployed ranger asks that we write. Congress via npca.org/jobcuts

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

Hey @whitmanwalker.bsky.social Who do you think is next?

Ensuring all our spies are monolingual white guys is a terrific idea. If you want to destroy our global intelligence gathering abilities. Who would want to do that? Oh, right.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

SCOOP - US blocking G7 statement for the third anniversary of Russian invasion of Ukraine, refusing to agree language that refers to Moscow’s “aggression” With the brilliant @christopherjm.ft.com @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/7380...

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

U.S. Marshals Service deputized Elon Musk’s private security, granting them federal law enforcement protections. The beginning of the American SS. Watch it grow exponentially.

Thank you Stephanie! Indisputable facts! We #StandWithUkraine 💙💛

You know what to do, DC lu.ma/1qpmwufe

🚨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!

Peace plan.

Did you know that Medicare does NOT pay for long-term care. NOPE. 2/3s of longterm care for your parents is paid by MEDICAID. If you want Medicaid cut, your parents wiil need to move into your house when they need long-term care & YOU will be providing it.

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

Someone better tell DOGE there’s this guy working from home

Without friends

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

Trump administration is planning to use polygraphs to assess federal employee loyalty. There are ways to manipulate polygraph results, and we will provide guidance to coalition members. Polygraph results are not admissible in court due to their potential for false positives and negatives.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

The Trump presidency is a threat to the well being of the American people.
