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...

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

I’m sad to read this. Author Mike Tidwell wrote “Amazon Stranger”, an excellent book about his formative years. I think about Randy Borman quite often. May he rest in power.

You aren’t seeing Black folks at protests because we know Trump will use us as an excuse to start violence—to justify martial law. Black folks, stay home. Be in peace. Our time will come. Everyone else, peacefully protest, but understand we won’t be human shields or targets! Don’t ask that of us.

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

The mindset required to pursue the dissolution of our democracy is surprisingly easy to come by. Just believe that no one has a right to say no to their predations. Every SA knows that… this is why the FOTUS can count on the loyalty of his predator comrades.

Damn right. We're living to see the attempted resurrection of a blatantly imperialist, colonial, world order, in which 'important' nations get to decide what happens to other, lesser, peoples, who have no say in their own affairs. If they can, they'll take the world back a century, to evil times.

The lure of Elon’s alternate reality for his followers is so powerful that he will tell them that pulling books off shelves, deleting words from government websites, and banning programs for their kids based on words they used is all part of fighting back against censorship. And they just let him

The reason republicans have abandoned America. Black Woman in the White House. Black Woman on the SCOTUS. Following the Black Man in the White House. They installed the worst, ugliest, most treasonous pigs that have ever existed to counter Black Excellence and Inclusion. #BlackHistoryMonth

Someone has talked with him about the last-resort presidential hidey-hole bunker in WVA. He doesn’t come up with this stuff on his own, he’s been reminded, and this isn’t good news. Hmmmm… Spruce Knob… a minor foothill. Mountain? Nah, it’s a feckken knob, no matter how big you claim it is, Donold.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
