The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

LISTEN to Jasmine Crockett. She is spot on. "We have a thug in charge of the United States. And if we don't wake up, we may not have a United States." @repjasmine.bsky.social is RIGHT🔥

She lost her life serving our country and because of the smears by the President her family doesn’t want us to know her name. It’s two weeks and this Administration is the most shameful imaginable. — Army withholds name of Black Hawk helicopter crew in D.C. crash www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n...

STEPHEN MILLER: Does anyone believe that an unaccountable career bureaucrat should be able to approve vast sums of money for the projects that they personally agree with? JAKE TAPPER: I'm literally asking about Meals on Wheels. I don't know what you're talking about.

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy's letter so everyone is informed about RFK Jr. Please repost far and wide.

I sent her a note.

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

The goal is to overwhelm us so we give up. Don't do that!

AOC 🔥🔥🔥

Langston Hughes knew what’s up.

Shame on any member of Congress who meets with a recalcitrant, pardoned seditionist. Even if they can't feel the shame, we know this can't be tolerated in a democracy.

Less than a week into the Trump administration and we’ve already blown through all of these.

Dear members of the press, Can one of you, PLEASE just ONE: When Trump says we deleted all the evidence, please for the love of God, push back. The evidence is all here: www.govinfo.gov/collection/j...

The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?

Today and in the coming days, remember

Remember this day. The last full day with a Democratic President. We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺

"Well, Grant, we've had the devil's own day today, haven't we?" "Yes. Lick 'em tomorrow though." - Grant and Sherman after the disaster of the first day of Shiloh, April 1862. They won the next. Today is one of the bad days in American history. Better days will come.

I suggest putting Tracey Chapmen “New Beginnings” on loud and proud , DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE

It is INSANE that the outgoing president has to protect a doctor from the incoming president going against him just for doing his job

Omfg! The inaugural committee removed the Jumbotrons from The National Mall! Magats will have to watch from the hotel rooms they paid for when they could have watched it on tv at home for free! 🤣

Monday

Ok patriots, a lot of you will balk at this, but please try to read w/ an open mind. Garland has gotten a bum rap. Longer version in my Substack tomorrow. No, Merrick Garland Did Not Let Donald Trump Skate newrepublic.com/article/1902... via @newrepublic.com

@emptywheel.bsky.social Marcy Wheeler applies her signature combo of dogged research and precise analysis to tell us what the public record already provides as to what is in volume 2 of the Smith report The closest we will be coming for now. www.emptywheel.net/2025/01/19/f...

We could have had Tim.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin in his farewell address: "You know, I was taught at West Point to pray that I would 'choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong.' And I have tried every day as Secretary to live up to that teaching." It's a prayer for America right now.

New in PN: @jttaplin.bsky.social on our new Trumpian oligarchy "Zuckerberg is a fool to say this is a cultural shift. Bullshit. It isn’t. It’s just people who are craven cowards bowing down and kissing the ring."

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?

But some people are just too old and frail to handle cold weather.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin gets a standing ovation at his farewell ceremony.

Snoopy out here protesting Kristi Noem’s confirmation

Trump’s moving inauguration inside because it’s too cold for the big baby. Also, he didn’t want the visuals of another small crowd. Pathetic.

President Biden makes his official announcement to the nation and world on the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. FINALLY! Thank you President Biden! 🙏

there’s really no need to closely track all these confirmation hearings. after some performative tut-tutting by republicans pretending they’re still mildly “independent,” they’ll all fall in line and vote for each and every one of these wildly unqualified lying fascistic meatloaves.

This 🤣

Who else is really looking forward to not watching the Inauguration? 👀 👎

I have applied to be Chief Corgi Content Editor of this excellent new publication.

ATTN: THREAD: The loyalty interviews have begun in DC. As someone who has direct experience with this, I have a couple of recommendations for all federal workers. Please share this widely, and with any federal government employee you know. 1/

Suddenly, Trump doesn’t want to talk so much about the economy. If Trump doesn’t want to talk about it, Democrats can — and should — fill the vacuum.

Kelly Clarkson remains the best American idol

In the Bay Area, I now regularly see more Rivian R1Ss on the road than Tesla Model Xs. Pretty big turnaround.

I’m really delighted to be one of the contributors to the pro-democracy new media group, The Contrarian. More news about this coming later today!

Judge Cannon will permit DOJ to release Vol 1 of the report while holding up Vol 2, which they’d already said they wouldn’t, with a hearing. Oh, & she still lacks jurisdiction to do any of the above but 🤷🏻‍♀️
