Posting for no particular reason 🤷‍♂️😐

I can’t fucking believe the best case scenario is a military coup, but here we are 🤷

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

It’s ironic that the only way a DOGE refund could avoid being inflationary is if it were truly a redistribution of wealth, so MAGA is in favor of wealth redistribution 😂 (of course, this assume there aren’t tariffs, b/c w/tariffs it’s gonna be inflationary regardless 🤷‍♂️ ).

Why do I think I can’t trust this announcement? Isn’t there a history of one cartel or another being taken out by MX govt? If it leads to anything I’ll celebrate, but too soon to know. www.justice.gov/opa/pr/armed...

How it started. How it’s going

Yep, I saw this clip on TikTok and immediately shouted (to no one in particular) that THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING. There has never been a leaderless movement that toppled tyranny. We need leaders, and we need organization. We don't need "saving" but leadership willing to take risks.

Question (and asking for a friend): Does the Speech & Debate Clause of the Constitution (Art. I, § 6, cl. 1) protect a Congressperson telling Elon Musk to eat a bag of dicks, or is it an illegal threat because it would be inciting Musk cause himself bodily harm due to the potential choking hazard?

Why does MAGA have the time to do CPAC, even while in control of the govt and the Dems do nothing of the sort? I’m talking about an event open to all, where plans and leaders can be developed. A new Dem party is overdue!!

I don’t know how to say this and not sound alarmist, but I think we’re going to need an effective H5N1 vaccine for humans and livestock, but also for our pets, and in a hurry, as they appear to be just as at risk.

@gtconway.bsky.social so, what do you think of this gem? www.justice.gov/opa/pr/state...

So, who is going to tell Chad that this is not a thing? The Justice Dept. can interpret, but they can not “determine” on their own. www.justice.gov/opa/pr/state...

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

I don’t think I’ve heard anyone in the media ask Musk or Trump if DOGE will be looking into how efficient tax cuts are?

Who is gonna help Ukraine?

How exactly is it a cut in national defense spending when you are redirecting those funds to other areas of, wait for it, national defense spending?

Boeing really has a chance to turn their lemons into lemonade (if they know the assignment)!

People who are on the spectrum from left leaning to full leftist, to left-curious, need to gather, in person, and virtually for a convention. Not a DNC, a new part convention.

Why do people keep thinking the Rubicon hasn’t been crossed yet, when Trump and Musk are already at the gates of Ariminum?

Glad Trump had the chance to waste millions of taxpayer dollars to fly over the Daytona 500 and then ride The Beast on the track as parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee are underwater. Priorities.
