there are so many things happening right now to federal employees that are illegal under current employment laws

Everyone should write in, “got shitfaced and brandished a chainsaw like a dork.”

JERRY NO

took my second walk a bit ago. gorgeous at ~50F; super blue sky + the snow is reflecting the sunlight making the entire open space area glow brightly. on the down side, saw a lone deer limping across the top of the ridge. never a great sign for wildlife.

I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

ATTENTION, SHOPPERS! We have a Silver Alert! If you’re missing an elderly gentleman, he is in the managers office. He is confused but he is safe.

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...

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.

Journalists: for the love of truth itself please stop using the phrase “cost-cutting” to describe a project of aligning the government with an oligarch’s greedy power grab

"the Republican Party has transformed from a despicable but predictable vehicle for the interests of capital into an enormous cult of personality in which you must either be a legitimate lunatic zealot or a remarkably shameless ass kisser in order to rise in status. This is a mob"

it’s wild to be considering the ultimate legality of an act that’s itself responsive to extralegal conduct by the government

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

is that bad that seems bad

We’re fortunate to have Kyle locally but he speaks to the issues impacting all of us. plainly reporting the facts of our elected officials’ conduct and providing insight - without fear of reprisal - is less common today than we need.

back from first walk. super pleasant tho a bit chilly. 30F w/ no wind. encountered five of the deer down in the gully. i stopped to grab a pic + kept walking.

ok, that’s twice that a post w/ a photo has failed. is photo upload broken?

clicked post and… nothing. will try again

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

seeing a local forecast of 54F today. that’s riding weather. watch + wait

Beyond betrayal.

New on MSNBC: Enrique Tarrio, the ex-Proud Boys leader granted clemency by Trump last month, has been arrested outside the U.S. Capitol and charged with allegedly assaulting a female protester.

This is how it’s done.

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.
