Poor bastards on nuclear subs will surface in a month and find they’ve been fired.

So Mad King Elon posted this about two hours ago and I've now seen one of the actual emails. Not going to mention the agency my source works out. But suffice it to say it's entirely shuttered. So everyone there was forced to stop working more than a week ago. The actual email is one is that in ...

For many Trump supporters and henchmen, everything that is going on right now is about resegregation, ensuring there's never another Barack Obama. For Trump this is a major motivator, but it's also a vehicle. Trump's motives are all about Trump - his deep overcompensation. Race is a part of that too

The press just doesn't get it, huh? Hard to watch. I know these people. I've BEEN these people. They're too smart to be this dumb, analyzing Trump like Margaret Thatcher, Musk like Steve Jobs. These guys are Temu Mussolini & frat boy Joker. Worse yet, they don't understand why we're mad.

Why are so few former Joint Chiefs speaking out? Four stars? FBI Directors? Former Senators? Presidents? Thanks to those that do but we need some courage now!

"the poll shows that majorities oppose cutting taxes on corporations. It finds that 63 percent say their top priority for tax policy is helping 'working-class families,' versus one percent—no, really, one percent—who say it’s helping corporations and the wealthiest Americans."

If true then the US is now a genuine Russia-style mafia state. Russia extorts with energy-, the US with tech-dependence. I trust the conclusions we draw from this will also turn into a semblance of policy.

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

The occasional #MurdochJournal editorial or NYPost front page disagreeing with Trump is a smokescreen. Murdoch is devoted to the crowning of Trump as the dictator-king he created. This does not echo the Founders. It shouts fascism. #FührerFluffing

Byline Times is facing major DDOS (malicious traffic-flooding) issues on our site apparently after this article went live... bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

The lack of coverage, the lack of outrage, on this profoundly disturbing incident, is perhaps an indictment of who we are. The French far right are more upset than Americans? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Why are Ukrainian defenders fighting? To stop russia from killing three generations of Ukrainian families in their homes at their sleep.

We are all in this together. We must fight like hell to win. indivisible.org/resource/exp...

Intel Source, on the Trump firing of JAG chiefs/JCOS: "You've been looking for the coup? Here's the coup." The road to deploy US troops on American soil is now a highway. Gnight everybody. Hug your kids tight

The firing of Brown is going to get most of the attention, but the firings of the JAGs might be more significant in some ways. They're responsible for ensuring the military follows the law. - @ktoropin.bsky.social and @tomnovelly.bsky.social with the news www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Without getting into too much detail for obv reasons my career has been focused on Syria, Ukraine, Russia. Folks I know are looking at intel relating to that. So they've been carefully watching this admin for signs of change in those policies, and they do not like what they see. Not. One. Bit.

Firing all the JAGs is very very bad

In case you've been hesitating to use the word "cult."

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

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.

Wow. DOGE is far more expensive than the USDS that it pretends to be. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Brilliant front page

I'll tell you this -- one of my contacts in a European NATO intelligence agency says the United States is on track to be a fascism in the next several months, and they're watching developments like what you're talking about very closely. They ignore the noise (Trump) & look at the details like these

DOGE’s Only Public Ledger Is Riddled With Mistakes The figures from Elon Musk’s team of outsiders represent billions in government cuts. They are also full of accounting errors, outdated data and other miscalculations. via @nytimes.com

Trump has just fired the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Charles Q. Brown Jr, the highest ranking officer in the country and, as far as I can tell, the highest ranking black person in the country. He was fired because he was black... uh... I mean... "woke" www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Ukraine did not misuse or lose half of the aid the United States has provided. Ukraine repeatedly invited Putin to negotiate in early 2022. isw.pub/UkraineFacts...

In October I said we were in denial. Still there. Trump’s second term is unfolding exactly as predicted—weaponizing the state, silencing opposition, dismantling institutions, betraying allies. Denial is no longer an option. Time to mobilize. Time to #CoupBack www.thecasualanalyst.com/blog-1/categ...

The EXTREMELY conservative CATO INSTITUTE has written an article (written for about a 5th grade reading level) that says there is ZERO evidence DOGE has found any fraud at all (with links to deeper analysis) www.cato.org/blog/doge-wa...

A bunch of Republicans are mad at me for this. None of them have addressed the fact that Trump launched his run for President in 2015 with racist vitriol and lies, and it's been the cornerstone of his messaging, and now his entire presidency, ever since. Yes, you did this. You can stop it, too

Since Jan 6 it has been OBVIOUS. But anyone who has been following this could see it coming in the 90s, even as early as the 80s. The Republican Party has been on a course of using 3 powers - Christian fundamentalists, big business, and racists - to build a coalition that's inherently anti-American

The media is worse than useless. Project 2025 exists. Read it. Trump appointed its architects & is doing it. Why aren't you saying that? Trump said this would be the last election, then launched an administrative coup & said he was above the law & King. Are you too fucking stupid to understand?

Journalism is officially dead if they can't label rain wet. This crew are a bunch of crooked, bigoted conspiracy theorists & extremists who are conducting a coup. Trump literally fucking told us he's king and Elon Musk did a literal Sieg Heil. Even a stenographer would call them Nazis & traitors

Free speech alert: Trump and Musk threaten to have a congressman prosecuted for calling Musk a "dick" (which he is, btw) and saying "what the American public wants is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight. This is an actual fight for democracy." (Also true). bsky.app/profile/robe...

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.
