Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

If you look at all the firings across the government over the last two weeks it's frequently been taken as a given that any black or woman official or officer is either a DEI hire or supports DEI and is summarily fired on that basis. Seems like the same model here.

Context that Corporate Media won’t say: Musk/Trump are firing anyone in a leadership position who is not a white male.

Trump is not “rooting out diversity initiatives in the military”, he is “rooting out non-white-men in leadership positions of the military”

I hope there is some media outlet, nonprofit institution, or university that has set itself the simple task: remember this. One of the most shocking & disturbing things about Trump's first term was how the vast bulk of it just vanished down the memory hole almost as soon as it happened.

Hello friends. I know times are dark but it is incredibly important not to lose hope. And, this week there are signs of hope and it paramount we recognize that hope, not let up and build. A thread on this if I may. You may appreciate this on a Friday. Come along with me. 🧵 (1/10)

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

“We’ll see you in court.” Gov. Janet Mills is a badass for this.

Whether in the courts or by way of pressure on the Trump Administration, DEMAND evidence of these claims of fraud and waste. You’d think Trump would be running to Congress & to court to show what they’ve found, and yet…crickets 🦗

This is such a great example of what its actually really important to bring the heat to elected Republicans: they are massively soft crybabies who will 100% come unglued when faced with even the slightest bit of pushback from voters.

The Trump-Musk assault on disability rights is monstrous on its own but also the start of a wider assault on other vulnerable populations. Pay attention.

This is what I mean by news outlets willingly letting themselves get language-policed by the far right. You used to be able to just call this a "Nazi salute." Now it's "a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month."

This is in fact a real picture and it will work nicely in the ads next year about the military families devastated by Elon's illegal firings.

The goal here, of course, is a self-fulfilling spiral of stupidity. You fire a bunch of worker because you say government isn't efficient. Then when people need help, there aren't enough workers to help them. And you say, "See? I told you government doesn't work." And the rubes believe you.

Trump rode to political prominence on birtherism and spent the last month of his campaign claiming that Haitians were eating cats. The rise of authoritarianism in America must be understood as a misinformation crisis.

For the record, right now, congestion pricing is very much alive. All that happened is the first step in what may be a long process to decide the matter. So the King can go fuck himself with his scepter.

Thinking about how the New York Times conceptualized for its audience that the stakes of the 2024 election were "is Biden old" (until Biden withdrew from the race) and not "electing Trump will destroy the transportation system of the city The New York Times is in"

People don’t give a shit if it's one or two bills. They care that Republicans are hellbent on cutting the $6 per day families get in nutrition assistance and the Medicaid benefits millions of working families rely on to see a doctor. And for what? To pay for more tax cuts for giant corporations.
