Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

You're not a visionary, you're just a manchild,Elon Musk, you're the villain, your soul's defiled. Fuck your myth, your lies, your pompous airs, just a con man in a billionaire's chair.From Zip2 to your lies about Mars,Elon Musk, you're a fraud, a disgrace, a living farce. suno.com/song/4a53e15...

Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

Here are my five bullets Elon! 💥 I did what you never do— work. 💥 I fixed problems I didn't break shit. 💥 I didn't destroy anybody's life. 💥 I made people's lives better. 💥 People I interacted with— want me back. Your turn dipshit!

The shareholders at Tesla would probably like to ask a similar question: "Elon, what did you get done for us last week, other than further alienating our most likely customers with your obnoxious fascist stunts?

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

It’s easy to be loud and proud during the campaign, when you’re convinced there’s no way Trump will win again. When it counts the most, though…is when he’s back in power, is unleashed and you’re scared. Don’t you dare go quiet now. This is when your nation and fellow citizens, need you the most.

"Russian asset."

BREAKING: MASSIVE Ukraine rally in Washington, D.C. right now. Americans care even if Trump doesn’t.

This hits hard.

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.

It mystifies me why there isn’t more aggressive litigation against Trump & his goons. The politically purged military should file a lawsuit to stop the purge since Trump, a farcical Commander-in-Chief, is flagrantly violating his oath of office, not to mention undermining our national security.

Wow! Congrats to Bluesky for passing the milestone of 32 MILLION users. Spread the word!! 💙🦋 bsky-users.theo.io

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

Vote them all out in the midterms. Get these fuckers outta here!!!

And the rest of us should show our support. She schooled other elected leaders on how to stamp up to Trump. I hope they learned.

Contemplation for today….

. General Mark Milley was right . . . ... and he's still right ! 💠 👊 💠

Remember the lies!
