Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Let's say their names: * General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: FIRED FOR BEING BLACK * Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE * Admiral Linda Fagan, Coast Guard Commandant: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE All replaced by less qualified white guys.

It’s been wild to see so many headlines about the firings at the Joint Chiefs of Staff and none of them explicitly saying “Trump fired the one Black person and the one woman so he could have an all white male Joint Chiefs”

It’s in the upper 20s, you know what that means! Now, Uptown Minneapolis

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

1. Dug through the ditches 2. Burned through the witches 3. Slammed in the back of my Dragula 4. Weak and want you need 5. Nowhere as you bleed

All 2.3 million of them should respond "Your mom."

Exactly. Musk is an evil, sociopathic piece of shit, to be sure, but he’s also bone-stupid. Extraordinarily dumb. Like Trump, his main superpower is shamelessness to an almost surreal level.

In modern history, what is the least popular that party leaders have ever been to their OWN voters? Second place was the GOP in 2009, where their net approval with Republican voters was only +6. Currently Dems are -8, shattering all previous records.

Come on you Loons!! #coyl #mnufc

A few pics from today's Rally for Trans Visibility at Stonewall National Monument in NYC, organized by The Transexual Menace.

I'm not mad at you, Hitler, I'm just disappointed.

Gavin Ashenden, a former BBC podcaster who these days is an occasional guest and writer for a number of mainstream British media outlets, performed a Nazi salute on Friday in unison with his fellow hosts of the "Catholic Unscripted" podcast in the UK. They say: "Our hearts go out to you."

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...

“I spent hours with him and walked with him thru Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking at the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage, & shoes flooded with violet light meant to preserve it. Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it’s worse—he doesn’t care whatsoever…He was unmoved by the experience.”

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.

Opinion | It takes a corrupt sex offender to fight a corrupt sex offender. That’s why Andrew Cuomo is the perfect New York mayor to take on Trump. by Chris Cuomo

Man he really called it

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

I think this is the first time I've seen this, and surely is an escalation in coordination and organizing. Patriot Front is currently marching simultaneously in four cities at once; Des Moines, IA / Manchester, NH / Boston, MA / Houston, TX.

Worth pointing out that Tesla’s charging network is surely their most valuable asset. Anything that hobbles other charging standards is a boon to Musk even if it appears “anti EV”

What a great way to save money. Sell off new cars at a loss and stop using infrastructure that has been installed a great cost. Very smart. No notes. electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

This is Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine. He is Jewish. His grandfather fought Nazis in WW2. Many of his relatives were killed in the Holocaust. He is standing up to a dictator. Because he is brave. Because he knows what happens if you don't.

America's best idea: National parks. America's worst idea: Electing a President whose number one priority was staying out of jail.

“As part of its continued efforts to own the libs, or get rid of anything President Trump does not like or understand, the General Services Administration is gearing up to remove electric chargers from all federal properties nationwide” is as damningly factual as it gets. gizmodo.com/u-s-governme...

From an expert: "Last night was the worst night in US civil-military relations since the Civil War." Loyalty purges of the military are very, very bad.

WATCH: “So far DOGE has saved enough to buy each of us 3 cups of coffee.” Economist Justin Wolfers on the *DOGE DIVIDEND* It’s all a trick. Their goal is tax cuts for the rich. And they never cared about the debt.

Eggs are now so expensive they’re smuggling them like fentanyl.

Elon Musk is the Mike Lindell of Trump 2.0. He’s an upgrade in terms of star power and wealth, but just as conspiracy-addled, overly online, and completely ignorant about how government or society functions.

If you can't be bothered to care about how Andrew Cuomo treats women in the workplace, maybe you care about how he treats Democrats. He secretly supported "renegade" Democratic Senators who handed control of the NY State Senate to Republicans. thetenant.org/how-andrew-c...

On some level, Andrew Cuomo abused all New Yorkers with his corrupt and evil and self-serving ways. He’s trying to do it again and we won’t let him.

Legacy media gets a lot of hate, but I'm concerned they don't get enough hate. They truly are contemptible.

200 million dollars of waste.

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

Sadly, with these blatantly political firings, every single general and flag officer nominee going forward must be asked publicly under oath by SASC what sort of loyalty oaths, if any, they swore to the Administration.
