Two things, actually. The second is, "Will this guy uphold the constitution or be loyal to me?" Trump replaced him not with just any white guy, he replaced him with the white guy who said, "I love you and I will kill for you."

Trump’s Pentagon purge has included the top military lawyers. Nobody should be surprised. Dictators politicize the military. Trump wants those with the biggest guns loyal to him, not the Constitution He says he’s demilitarizing it. I call BS. Orwellian to the core. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Danger Yam replaced Gen. Brown with this unqualified MAGA sycophant named Dan Caine. Dan famously told Trump: "I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir." Apparently this qualifies him for the top job in the US military. #Praetorianism

Now that Trump has ousted Brown, and the heads of the Navy and Coast Guard, the remaining top military leaders are all white and male, particularly striking given that minorities make up nearly 40 percent of the military and women constitute fully a fifth. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/king-donal...

Trump tried a seizure of power in 2021. It didn't work, because he relied only on a violent mob. The military and FBI stayed loyal to the Constitution. This time, with approval of the Republican Senate, Trump has installed anti-constitutional putschists at FBI, DoD, and Pentagon

Why did Trump fire CQ Brown? According to advisers, it was because of a four-minute video Brown taped after the George Floyd murder talking about his experiences as a Black pilot in the Air Force, Helene Cooper reports. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

Complete misinformation about what they "found" regarding Social Security keeps popping up! Every time I see it I'm going to post this.

What brilliant showcase of elite curling that was by Team Black and Team Skrlik. It’s one of those games it’s a shame there was to be a team that loses. And so now there’s just three remaining at the Scotties - Homan, Einarson, Black.

it is shocking the extent to which they openly sneer at morality

⚡️EU preparing military aid package for Kyiv worth $20.9 billion, Bloomberg reports. The additional military support would supply Kyiv with air defense systems, artillery ammunition, long-range missiles, and drones.

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.

@cbcqueenspark.bsky.social Could you please spread the word to other CBC reporters to join Bluesky, and post their links on the CBC website, so we can thank and share info with them. It would be nice to be able to keep in touch. Thanks.

My favourite time of the Scotties. One game on the sheets. Ratchet up the pressure Nova Scotia vs Alberta right now in the 3vs4 game. Team Black throwing yellow, has the hammer. Winner moves on. Loser is eliminated.

from @queerchameleon.bsky.social (I think!)

Tom Krause is in charge of both a sensitive government payment system and a company that has millions of dollars’ worth of active contracts with various federal agencies through distribution partners, a WIRED review finds. Conflicts posed by this are unprecedented in the modern era, experts say.

He will not criticize Putin.

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.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

politics ahead Trump openly threatened to withhold federal funding if Maine continued to lets trans women play in women’s sports, personally threatened our governor, Janet Mills, and she looked him dead in the eye and said “see you in court.” proud is an understatement

So the President of the United States threatened the governor of Maine, in public, acting like the monarch he thinks he is. The story is nowhere to be found on the homepage of the WaPo or WSJ; the NYT has a small story buried deep down with a headline that makes it look the governor picked on POTUS.

Head coach 🍁🏒Jon Cooper said: “I just hope Canada is proud because every player in that room is proud to be Canadian... This one was different, this wasn’t a win for themselves, this was a win for 40+million people and the guys knew it and they delivered.” ❤️🇨🇦🥇🏆❤️🇨🇦

Ah yes, Musk: the defender of free speech 😂😂😂

He's mad his lies about Ukraine were fact-checked by his own website so he wants to change the fact-checking system

CANADA 🇨🇦 WINS CANADA 🇨🇦 WINS CANADA 🇨🇦 WINS IN OVERTIME OH BABY FOR SURE

Here's the TRUTH without emotions: 1. Trump wanted 500B worth of resources deal for '350B' the US provided. With nothing in return (security guarantees, weapons shipments, etc.) 2. In reality, the US provided ~70B of direct support for Ukraine starting Feb 2022.

Hey foreign friends, there will be rallies in support of Ukraine this weekend all over the world. If you are able, please attend one of them. There's a link where you can find a rally closest to you. #UkrainianView uaworldmap.ukrainianworldcongress.org/en

Today is the anniversary of two important and tragic events in the history of Ukraine. Both actually happened in a few days in February 2014 The first is the mass shooting of protesters on the Maidan in Kyiv The second is the occupation of Crimea by Russia
