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

young posters, the use of language changed before you were born, so in case you didn't know this: the reason things like Social Security and Medicare are called "entitlements" isn't (derogatory) it's because access is guaranteed in exchange for your advance payments into the program

Also because of the way the US is structured, only federal employee strikes would impact the federal government and they're currently suing to stop what's happening. A lot of the general strike discourse skirts the violence issue too. Cops have no problem using their unions as shields for murder

I really do not want to hear any American tankies talk about Ukraine being a 'Nazi rump state' while living in an actual Nazi governed oligarchy while the extreme far-right in Ukraine has almost no political presence or power. It was dishonest before but now it's just hypocritical.

I am pleased to announce that Whitman-Walker has returned a trans care resource, now under “primary care.” I am told the decision was to update today and that it is a case of bad timing, but also confirmed the reason why it was removed was fear of the Trump admin. Still. I am very happy it’s back.

It is very clear that MAGA is trying to not just exclude trans people from American public life, but to erase trans people from existence No organization I have any control over will acquiesce to, or participate in, this genocidal project

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

Your regular reminder that the more often you own your mistakes, the easier it gets. It is like any muscle-- work it more and it gets stronger. All people mess up, and sometimes we do so publicly. It's not the end of the world to acknowledge that we missed the mark; it's how we clean up.

I think people have fundamentally misunderstood the multiple roles conspiracies fill in a fascist movement. The conspiracies are both a permission giving structure and a tool to neuter push back when they actually deploy their own agenda of industrial death. “Well the dems were doing it already”
