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...

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Make of this what you will.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

the “make america healthy again” agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

Democrats: Please stop texting me for money. There will not be a penny contributed until I see concrete action taken to block every Trump appointment and initiative. Do your jobs.

Once again, Trump proves he’s firmly in the pocket of Vladimir Putin. There’s more to it than just Trump being a dictator fanboy. Putin owns him.

This is it exactly. Mock these toadies right to their faces.

“Ironically, some of those history books on civil rights might reference the deployment of the 101st Airborne to Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1957 to protect Black students during the desegregation of a high school, a pivotal moment in civil rights history.”

In response to Trump’s assertion, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” we say: The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.

@axios, what a pathetic excuse for bending the knee. We need courageous journalism, not news agencies afraid of being bullied by a 27-year-old flunkie.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: an administration (and its supporters) who believe that they are not limited by the rule of law have no moral or philosophical claim to the protection of the rule of law. “The law is whatever we say it is” warrants the same in response.

I’m carefully saving my schadenfreude for when Trump voters hit their own personal Finding Out phase.

Just despicable and disgraceful. The US government is now indistinguishable from the mafia.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

I'm just wondering how many lives will be lost because we now have RFK, Jr., a discredited, disowned quack, as Health Secretary.

Sack! Sack! Touchdown!

True.

We can look forward to such artistic luminaries as Kid Rock, Kevin Sorbo, and Victoria Jackson receiving Kennedy Center Honors.

Far be it from me to tell the experts how to do their jobs, but Langley folks, now’s the time.

At least the objective of the corrupt and incompetent CPA was to rebuild the Iraqi government. Trump and Musk are on a mission to destroy the US government.

A key aspect to the French Resistance during Nazi occupation was learning the schedules, places of living, and family members of Nazi soldiers, and then either passing that information on to Allied forces, or acting upon it themselves. This has been your random historical fun fact of the day.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

People keep asking, “How is any of this legal?” — as if that mattered anymore.

Some days, I wouldn’t be surprised.

He’ll never make me say the Gulf of America. Never, not ever.

Your daily horoscope: Today you will feel like a book - a vast collection of words, ideas, and magic bound together a bit too tightly and left on a shelf, collecting dust.

Sometimes, I worry that English muffins aren’t really English, and that Thomas has lied to us all this time.

The one thing Facebook is good for is learning which of your high school friends would've given away Anne Frank's hiding spot.

A friendly reminder: Global warming equals unstable , crazy weather, not uniformly warmer weather.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

The Right Rev Mariann Edgar Budde spoke truth to power from her pulpit. We should all be so brave.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

i said a few times here and there before the election that we’ll see what the mass deportation plan looks like when it’s ICE agents dragging grandmothers out of churches and, well, here we are

I don’t know German but I think I understand this headline fine enough.

I have to imagine that, somewhere out there, Sean Spicer is thanking his lucky stars that he’s not the one who has to deal with Elon’s Nazi salute at today's press conference.

You’re all about to be gaslit about that Nazi salute and I’m begging you to spend no time on it. You know what you saw.

Musk’s second salute made that really hard to misinterpret.

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard. #MosaicMonday

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025
