Rep Crockett (texas) “we’re in the find out phase” - you think this is bad… wait till he pulls out of NATO and 100k odd soldiers come back to the US. Many of whom just “follow orders.” Other side of this is going to look very different. Don’t forget to dance NOW.

I once got roasted on here (called a hypocrite) for trying to defend the idea that murder is not ok, but I have since changed my mind about that AND Luigi Mangione. He is a hero. All we need do is eat just one billionaire, and the rest will fall in line.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

All of our service members – including trans service members – keep us safe and that’s why I’ll do everything I can to keep them safe. Thank you to the patriots of SPARTA Pride for talking with me about what it’s like as a trans person currently serving in our military.

Trump signed an executive order on IVF this week. Not to protect or expand it, but to distract Americans from his plan to restrict reproductive rights. Don’t be fooled.

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...

Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

This is not normal! As if federal employees didn’t already feel threatened enough—sure, let the brown shirts have guns; that’ll certainly boost compliance.

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.
