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...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

We must all band together. There are far more of us than there are of them. Never forget that, no matter how difficult this may become!!

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

If you are looking for someone to say that all is lost and the courts can't help protect democracy, you are following the wrong guy. If you are looking for someone who fights hard and will never give up, I'm here for you.

Contemporary Affairs Seminar was one of the clubs disbanded by West Point leadership because it was “DEI.” The club was essentially taken over by black Cadets in 1970 to give them space to gather. They got rid of a club 55+ years old because it was a home for black Cadets. Don’t believe the lies.

Hey NYTimes — now you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥 Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

Enough. The Democrats must shut down the Senate and use their power. Stop voting for these idiots. Stop all unanimous consent. Demand answers. Filibuster. Where is the fucking outrage?

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

It will cost over a billion dollars. This is how trump ran up the deficit and debt last time. Useless spending but the magats do not really care about the economy. Nor does Trump. He publicly stated it on live tv!

Something that I think we can all agree on is that the current generation of Democratic leadership is simply not optimized for the Attention Age. Not really their fault! And honestly, they may be better people for it, but it's a pretty pressing political problem.
