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.

I’m surprised it took them this long. Take it seriously, but dont treat it like a foregone conclusion. It’s in no way inevitable, and our best shot at stopping it is to start early. We need to take back the House to limit his power, and start asking him NOW if he will step down when his term is up

So per Bannon, Jewish people are the number one enemy of Israel, and Israeli support mostly comes from groups whose support for Israel is predicated in their belief in genocidal apocalyptical prophecy. I'm starting to think that U.S. support for Israel isn't about combatting antisemitism at all.

SpaceX is not controlled by the US government. Musk made the point that he can't let Starlink be used for certain "war" activities when he throttled use last year. If Musk's company fucks with European contracts, Europe needs to fuck with Musk's company. Oligarchs can have their assets frozen.

Thousands of Hungarian judges, court staff and supporters marched to the ministry of justice in Budapest on Sat, demanding judicial independence, freedom of expression for judges and better pay. The independence of Hungary's courts is causing a rift between PM Orban's nationalist gov and EU.

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...

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.

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.”

Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

It means Europe must move away from all American enablers. Including GPS. The mind boggles. The scale of change required is very large. But it must be done.

U.S. President Donald Trump deported 37,660 people during his first month in office, previously unpublished U.S. Department of Homeland Security data show, far less than the monthly average of 57,000 removals and returns in the last full year of Joe Biden's administration.
