Tonight Trump fired the black general who served as chair of joint chief of staff. And Pete Hegseth fired as Chief of Naval Operations Lisa Franchetti. She made history in 2023 when she became first woman to lead the Navy. Trump is erasing people of color and women. How long will you take this?!

@lilok.bsky.social, I just want to say that I love your profile pic. I've been a die-hard Greatest American Hero fan since day one. 43 years, 11 months, and 2 days ago. But who's counting, right?

Always count on Hitchens quotes to make your points. Silence is complicity, consent and cowardice.

I mention at end of clip if Trump wins we will be doing this show in a camp. Each day we are getting closer to that reality especially given Trump is putting people in Gitmo with zero transparency.

"If none of us is prepared to die for freedom, then all of us will die under tyranny"-Timothy Snyder's quote from his book "On Tyranny" has never resonated more with me than now.

Assuming from all the 'cost-cutting' the moron is doing if we destroy Confederate monuments and statues that there won't be money to replace them.

If Trump started putting people in concentration camps would Americans rise up? Wait, Trump is already doing that with his new penal colony in Guantanamo Bay. If you think Trump is going to stop with just sending migrants there, you are denying history. Next will be Trump's critics he dubs a threat

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

He's so dramatic I expected him to storm off, sweeping his cloak behind him.

The accelerationist belief that if things get bad enough, then things will start to get better is quite something to see in the wild. It’s wrong though. Historically, misery creates more misery and is visited on the most marginalized in ever intensifying cycles of horror.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

I deeply appreciate how The Orville has carried on the great Star Trek tradition of making every habitable planet look like a different county park in the greater Los Angeles area

An important point to keep in mind.
