General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

As a caregiver, I’m amazed at the number of people who don’t understand this. I’ve had to explain it to children of dementia patients so many times I’ve lost count.

I hope folks do it. I find bluesky info to be…not widely known

You do not fight political fights with the same policy as your opponent, especially if you paint your opponent’s policy as dangerous. Democrats should not get more conservative, the party should get dark money out and advocate for Medicare for All.

"The increase to Musk's wealth since Trump was elected president three months ago is greater than all of the American aid given to Ukraine over the last three years."-- @timothysnyder.bsky.social

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

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

But of course!

Let's say their names: * General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: FIRED FOR BEING BLACK * Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE * Admiral Linda Fagan, Coast Guard Commandant: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE All replaced by less qualified white guys.

True Intentions revealed. Every US citizen and immigrants personal data has been scraped and fed to an LLM by Musk. Unelected. Without our consent. This is how he did it. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

This guy is too much of a chicken to stand up publicly to a guy who he privately described as a "moral disaster" or to defend his own wife's honor from a punk who works for Elon and said we should "normalize Indian hate". Obsequious, snivelling, Vancely cowardice is the opposite of masculinity.

People are unhappy about what Trump and Republicans are doing to our government and country. What can we do? SHOP WISELY! Our shopping dollars help companies and their top executives donate to Trump/Rs. Look up the stores you regularly shop at, change your habits. It's a start!

Right response

Blackouts coming soon. Get ready to participate.

I swear to god if another Democrat "leader" goes on TV to point out that "this isn't really about the price of eggs" I might start swatting you people. I will NEVER, NEVER give a single cent to this useless party ever again. Give me a new party. This one is irretrievably broken. Good god.

Not Schumer, not Jeffries……. AOC and J Crockett…..👊🏿👊🏿

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

Not a word from CNN or New York Times on the 50501 protests on Presidents Day. That is terrifying and yes, I cancelled my subscription to NYT. Main stream media is in 47’s and Musk’s pockets.

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

There are many ways Trump could trigger a global collapse. Here’s how to survive if that happens | George Monbiot

90% of all new money created goes straight to the 1% who hoard it forever. Never has so much been stolen from so many by so few.

This is real and not hard to do.

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

@warren.senate.gov: "Elon is gonna do X Money... There's just one bump in the way and that's the CFPB... He doesn't like that... Move the bump out of the way before you start. It's like a bank robber saying, 'Before I go into the lobby with my sacks, I'm just going to fire the cops.'"

I'm calling for a 4-year fast from Target, Walmart, and Amazon. Target lost $15.7 billion of market value after share prices fell 22% on Nov. 20, 2024. finance.yahoo.com/news/target-...

“What lies on the other end of those phone calls isn’t a burden, it’s an opportunity. Grow up, get over yourselves, and get back in the game.”

DOGE is illegal Changing spending policies by executive fiat is illegal The authority granted to Musk is illegal It's not an opinion, but a fact Keep Reposting this

Individuals bear the costs of speaking out but don't capture the collective benefits for democracy. A classic externality - and one that could doom our system of government.
