Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

At what point do we recognize that patriarchy, misogyny and white nationalism/racism are a feature, not a bug, of these employees? Better to highlight workers who are not these things, if they exist, imo.

I save myself a lot of time by just assuming anything this administration claims is a lie. open.substack.com/pub/newrepub...

I believe Trump is just itching to invoke the Insurrection Act. It would be his ultimate intoxication/delirium. WWE on steroids. Winners and losers! His enemies will die! Yeehaw! open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

You best believe it. Hollowing out the regulatory agencies is opening the door wide to grift, fraud, corruption and outright theft.

How long are Americans in 2025 going to put up with Trump and his White Nationalist ‘DEI’ shit? It’s disgusting on so many levels. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

“…out of step with his “America First” movement.” This is how Trump justifies his deep-seated racism and misogyny. He is literally resegregating the joint chiefs. Now who do we think will volunteer for this military nowadays? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Putting on quite a show, but not Oscar-worthy. Reminds me of The Pentagon Wars. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

James Taylor’s thoughts on the current Ukraine situation. “How do we now turn away?”

Exactly! It’s not that they might explode, there’s a whole host of other problems (as in, “What were they even thinking?” problems)

Please read and share. But especially share with folks that might not realize how critical Section 504 is to so many people. I tried to write a simple clear explanation at the break. I hope it reaches some people who aren't already on our side. Gift link: www.startribune.com/why-are-repu...

How many children do you know who have 504 accommodations? (This applied to a lot of ADHD kids during my time in the schools). These are kids who may not qualify for IDEA, but need accommodations in the classroom. They need protections too.

Nobody holds a grudge quite like Trump. He’s out to destroy Ukraine for no other reason than he viscerally hates Zelensky. He doesn’t care if that means “gifting” Russia. And the sycophantic people surrounding him, make Trump’s vendetta their own. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Don’t let this one fly under the radar. (Gift article) Trump’s EO weakens ability of Fed to oversee Wall Street. wapo.st/4brcKJz

I need to stop being surprised when a Latino comes across as being a bigot. He didn’t call the G20 meeting ‘against American interests’, he specifically labeled South Africa. Gee, I wonder why? These people represent all of us, modeling bigotry as American values. `🤬🤮 apnews.com/article/rubi...

Florida…You break my heart 💔 You just had to FAFO. www.tampabay.com/news/environ...

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

"Was it worth it? How many mils did DeSantis burn,how many ruinous culture-war battles did he wage,how many times did fed/ state judges need to clean up his messes, how many colleges did he need to ruin,how many lives did he need to blithely toss aside" www.jacksonville.com/story/news/c...

Medicare is under attack, too. Many seniors cannot physically travel easily. This new policy is cruel to inflict upon them and will increase burdens on doctors and nurses.

Mordechai Brafman shot at two Jewish people 17 times & hit them b/c he thought they were Palestinian. He faces 15 years & no hate crime charges. Briana Boston said "delay deny defend" to Blue Cross. She faces 15 years on terror charges. This is Florida. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-horrif...

Florida’s got a huge education problem. Leaders don’t seem to care. bridgetotomorrow.wordpress.com/2025/02/16/g...

A key observation about nearly every one of the arguments against birthright citizenship; that all of them simply ignore the actual text of the Constitution in favor of a version that exists purely in their own heads.

America’s seniors need to wake the f*ck up! This is the plan and they’re pretty open about it. open.substack.com/pub/deanobei...

This article makes so much sense. For the first time, I can actually visualize WWIII happening, started by Trump, with the free world lined up against America. What happens when the little guys all rise up against the bully? open.substack.com/pub/newrepub...

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.

A 10% universal tariff on $3.25 trillion of annual US merchandise imports would potentially raise ~$300 billion. Last year, US personal income tax brought in nearly 30x that.

They’re describing a concentration camp. And the US is pretty much to blame for it. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/w...

How’s he gonna convince current Social Security recipients that this isn’t straight up theft (or anyone who has been paying into it for years)?

When you understand who the real enemy is, everything the Trump admin says and does makes complete sense. That’s the battle we’re waging. We must convince people that democracy, with all its problems, is better than their alternative. open.substack.com/pub/nickcohe...

Really smart analysis of the world economy. Though I believe Trump plans to bully his way through this regardless. Those who praise him get rewarded and I can almost guarantee there will be winners and losers. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/o...

A warning from Sleeping Giants substack open.substack.com/pub/brentgia...

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

the Department of Homeland Security said the migrants deported to Panama were in the United States illegally. “Not a single one of these aliens asserted fear of returning to their home country at any point during processing or custody,” said Tricia McLaughlin…” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

This is the same playbook they’ve used against public education for decades now. And don’t kid yourself, Democrat administrations supported privatization too in various ways (specifically Obama’s Race to the Top initiative for one, or labeling charter schools “public” to allow funding, etc.).

I have a feeling we’ll be hearing more and more about Curtis Yarvin…to my chagrin. open.substack.com/pub/waleedsh...
