#Bluesky This app is depressing. 99% of the posts are about the sociopathic ahole in Washington, & the other 1% are stupid/frivolous. It's not set up to build community in any meaningful way & the majority of people I see do not want DM's. I think all the DMs I've received are fking bots. Bye.

“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.

I do not wish to participate in this economy anymore. I don't want to participate in this society anymore. It is broken and toxic and rotten to its core if you really, honestly, truly look at it and do not turn away.

People care, but... they don't. We seek connection... but we resist. MILLIONS... but no one f**king sees the person right in front of their glazed over eyes. Something terrible is going to happen... Things fall apart... slowly then all at once. Every Empire ends. America will reap its karma.

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

Well, this advice didn’t seem to take root. But I tried. My biggest concern is the firing of the CJCS, the CNO and the service JAGs. No mystery there.

Trump’s betrayal of Americans: He promised not to cut Medicaid—now he’s backing a House plan that slashes $880 billion from it. All to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. He doesn’t care if families drown in debt, as long as he & his billionaire buddies get richer. Don’t Cut My Medicaid!

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

A federal judge ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to proceed with mass terminations of probationary federal workers. The administration has already dismissed 6,700 employees from the IRS, with plans to lay off an additional 50,000 workers from the Defense Department next.
