So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

"The 3,000 agents Turner fired, each and every one of them first or second generation Americans. Is that because they lacked diplomatic skills, or did Turner not think it was a good idea to have spies who could speak the same language as the people they're fuckin' spying on?"

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...

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?

If Trump started putting people in concentration camps would Americans rise up? Wait, Trump is already doing that with his new penal colony in Guantanamo Bay. If you think Trump is going to stop with just sending migrants there, you are denying history. Next will be Trump's critics he dubs a threat

The Great Lakes states have, for years, been fighting an invasion of lamprey eels, which were devastating the fish stocks in the lakes. Trump fired the people who've almost succeeded in doing that. www.bridgemi.com/michigan-env...

Trump Quietly Plans To Liquidate Public Lands To Finance His Sovereign Wealth Fund President Trump’s EO to create a sovereign wealth fund requires that the U.S. come up with heaps of cash quickly, which may make selling out & selling off public lands irresistible.

Give this man a full time job as head democratic messenger. Give him a budget and a staff and put them on every single source, podcast, radio show etc. right wing/left wing/libertarian etc. He needs to be the face/voice of our party now. He reaches people like hardly anyone else can!

I really think the dems need daily or weekly press briefings led by both @petebuttigieg.bsky.social and @repjasmine.bsky.social. They both in their own ways do a remarkable job of breaking all this chaos down into ingestible bits we can use to go out and talk to our people.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.
