Magic at the NAACP Image Awards and whatnot.

Elon’s mass harassment email to all federal employees underscores the importance of having unions to represent workers against abusive management.

Congrats to @bsky.app and all the users and team that make it unique ! 32m users is real !

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

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...

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

“The more Trump’s presidency progresses, the more support he will lose,” @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social writes. “Many voters who thought they knew the rules to the game and would turn out the winners are now discovering that they didn’t and won’t.” theatln.tc/hWpkLIVF

What ?!?

How federal judges are blocking Trump’s abuses of power; Judge Ho probes Trump DOJ corruption; SCOTUS deals Trump a setback; a judge nearly finds Trump admin in contempt & more. Legal AF is LIVE 8PM ET / 5PM PT. Tune in!

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.

For those wanting facts versus mal-information from govt officials: Truman relieved MacArthur after he disobeyed several orders, 1 which almost led to World War III w/ China. Obama accepted McChrystal’s resignation when he took responsibility for disrespecting the president’s team to the press.

Count me in.

BREAKING: Former Prime Minister of the UK, Boris Johnson, just completely went off on Trump’s idea that Ukraine is the aggressor and debunked all of the Russian propaganda that is being spread: “Putin launched his war not because he was worried about Nato – that's pure Kremlin propaganda –

Why did Trump fire CQ Brown? According to advisers, it was because of a four-minute video Brown taped after the George Floyd murder talking about his experiences as a Black pilot in the Air Force, Helene Cooper reports. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

He nails it.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Love to see it!

Walmart will pay corporate employees more than their bonus target for another year, though workers will receive a slightly lower percentage than a year earlier.

🚨WATCH🚨 ON THE LINE with VoteVets, hosted by @fpwellman.bsky.social, digs into Trump’s reckless and feckless military purge.

General CQ Brown gave 40 years to this country—not to a president—only to be forced out for it. This is what service looks like. This is what sacrifice looks like. A hero. A patriot. 🫡 🇺🇸

Amen to that.

Social Security is far too important to be raided by the Musk-rats 🐀😡

ROME (AP) — Vatican says Pope Francis in critical condition, suffered a long asthmatic respiratory crisis in the morning.

Pope Francis was in critical condition Saturday after he suffered a long asthmatic respiratory crisis that required high flows of oxygen, the Vatican said. https://abc7.la/4gRoTs7

The most egregious DEI hire in the history of the U.S.

AOC: And he is running around because he thinks he got a bank account with a lot of zeros in it that it makes him some kind of super citizen. I don't think so.

Hegseth is going to fire every woman or Black person in military leadership.

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.

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

Supreme court declines Trump administration request to reverse District Court order reinstating Hampton Dellinger as the head of the office of special counsel. Alito and Gorsuch dissent. Can’t draw too many conclusions from it b/c of very unusual procedural posture, which may have driven decision.

Why do Canadians live almost 6 years longer than Americans? Maybe it’s better to fully believe in science.

🚨 BREAKING: Judge Jeannette Vargas, a Biden appointee, has expanded the blockade on DOGE’s access to Treasury systems, citing a "realistic danger" that the "rushed" process has already compromised sensitive payment data. Thank God for these Biden judges!

Fresh out of prison after Trump’s pardon, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested today for assaulting a woman protesting his event.

🚨NEW: New York Attorney General Letitia James has won her federal lawsuit against Elon Musk, blocking DOGE from accessing American's private data. REPOST if you stand with James against Elon Musk!

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump has fired the Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman, General C.Q. Brown. He is a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force. REPOST if you stand with General Brown against Trump!

🚨Trump just fired Gen. CQ Brown and threatened more firings are coming. This isn’t strength—it’s the move of a weak, insecure tyrant. Gutting military leadership for loyalty tests puts US security at risk and sends a dangerous signal to our enemies. History will judge this—& those who stay silent.

So fatass removed the chairman joint chiefs of staff because hes black! If Flag officers find this appauling and dont speak up then shame on them! Let me guess he wants benedict flynn

Just asked Grok to compare the military experience of current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. CQ Brown, and Trump's pick for the position, Lt. Gen. Dan Caine. You can read the full comparison, but here’s the final takeaway and it's pretty much what I figured:

Here with @amo.house.gov & Mixed Magic Theatre in Pawtucket to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth & the power of the arts by highlighting tremendous contributions of Black Americans to our nation and state’s culture, art, & heritage.

Donald Trump just fired a well-respected General who was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And his Administration announced they’re replacing other officers, too. The purge of people of stature and independence goes on.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

Sen. Padilla and I will be supporting Governor Newsom’s request for federal aid to recover and rebuild from the Eaton and Palisades fires. To deny it – or place conditions on it – would be to abandon people in their time of most need. People need help. We must act urgently.
