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...

this is from a new report on a “third way” on DEI and it is unbelievably naive, which in my view is emblematic of the author, rich kahlenberg, whose willingness to extend good faith to obvious bad faith actors borders on gullibility www.progressivepolicy.org/a-way-out-of...

Waiting for folks to figure out they need to put the pressure on Jeffries in order to get Hochul to move. She’s focused on reelection. His base is vital to that. If his base pushes for Adams to go, Hochul jeopardizes her reelection by ignoring them.

“It funds work that makes no sense like giving CT scans to homeless people” The research was to address the fact that unhoused people have a mortality rate for lung cancer that’s more than 2x that of housed people. CT is the gold standard for lung cancer screening. Doesn’t make sense to him, though

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

Sigh. Having a viral moment over on The Bad Place and so much of it is folks who are infuriated at the idea of historical expertise because it doesn't flatter their notions that history is about Great Men and the Greatest Man, invariably either Donald Trump or Elon Musk.

Every time a fascist threat appears, the appeasers rush to comply in advance. You just don't expect the national broadcaster to be among them "Dear Americans, how do you feel about violently annexing your long-standing friend and ally?" is not the type of conversation I want my tax dollars going to.

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

There was a whole theory in ~2022 that Musk's rightward shift would "depoliticize" EVs by making them cool to Republicans, instead it has seemingly just made Tesla's radioactive to Democrats and isn't even increasing Republicans' desire for EVs

I don’t judge Mitch McConnell for his choice of political party. I judge him for his greed, racism, and hunger for power. I judge him for causing irreparable damage to the Supreme Court, and not voting to convict Donald Trump. So will others. So will history.

I'm not a smart guy, but I feel like the Democrats missed a real big lesson of the recent election that could help them here: that sometimes real big life-or-death gambits are the way to go. Do they not remember how the nation was on fire for Kamala right after they swapped her out for Biden?

Things like this is part of why the rampant denigration of politicians and politics are so harmful. Being a politician is an actual skill set for a real and important job necessary for the operation of a nation as large as ours. You elect a politician not a ‘normal person’ so they can DO that job
