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.

Replacing the military brass and attorneys with three-star generals you pluck from retirement is exactly what a dictator looking to use an army to do some violence does.

Oh no… I really hope the franchise doesn’t get the Star Wars / Marvel treatment.

we may not agree on much, but I agree with Trump here. make those planes with haste, boys. cut any corner necessary!

it's getting really hard to imagine there ever again being enough of a consensus reality to pull this country back from edge of the cliff

if you were accidentally fired while transporting a nuclear warhead and currently need a place to stay with said warhead please know that i have a sizable backyard and an abiding desire to be a nuclear power

Disgusting Nazi government

I did a guest lecture on Thursday at UC Davis law and I showed the operation pridefall video from 4chan. The absolute look of horror and shock. And I proceeded to show how images from that video were then shared by politicians pushing don't say gay laws two years later.

Cannot stop thinking about the cinematography of this film.

How do they hang huge paintings on the walls of the Oval Office? 🤔

I actually think it’s very cool to put our State Department personnel in Tesla-made vehicles. 👍🏻

trump slashing USAID and then immediately signing an executive order to legalize bribery of foreign nations is like when elon got rid of the checkmark and then had to reinvent the checkmark

¡Por fin ha llegado! (@willmenaker.bsky.social @chriswade.bsky.social @ambercrollo.bsky.social you guys can pass along that I’m super excited to read it!)

they're setting up for a new reading and ruling on unitary executive theory. this is the main play that heritage has been cooking for decades, and the court is stacked for them to do it. this drastically expands presidential power. also important to mention here democrats are massive pussies

The Chiefs can still win, if Mike Pence finds the courage.

My man looked directly into the camera. Diabolical.

Well, there you have it. The most it is possible to get owned as a human being.

No one has tried this before, let's see how it plays out.

Just found out there’s a city in China where there has historically been a lot of cultural exchange with Spain and a lot of people there speak Spanish, and now I know exactly where I want to live one day.

he really went off with this one

I mean it’s just the agency tasked with nuclear security, how bad can it be?

Mandatory reading. Insightful thread imo.

I’ve been really wanting to get back into making music again.

So, what, we’re gonna deploy the US military to forcibly expel nearly 2 million people from their land? If this somehow comes to pass, I would hope we would be militarily opposed by an international coalition. I have to believe the world wouldn’t just allow that to happen.

That’s a crazy way to spell “ethnic cleansing”

It sucks that we can just theatrically bully other countries with no consequences. I wish just for once we’d get punished.

Trudeau’s tariff retaliation announcement has the tone of a wartime address to the nation from the World War era. Interesting times ahead for sure.

Mashallah, comrades

On a throwback. I’ll always remember jamming this in the car after buying the CD back in the day. Still love the drum work on it, too.

Musk is the culmination of a slow-moving corporate coup by the oligarch class that has been decades in the making. But that doesn't change the fact that this marks a new and unspeakably dangerous chapter.

"DOGE does not have power over established government agencies, and Musk has no role in government. It does not matter that he is an ally of the President. Musk is a private citizen taking control of established government offices. That is not efficiency; that is a coup."
