I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

The way that the JAG spots normally work? The current deputy takes over when the incumbent's term is completed. Trump / Hegseth are purging the top uniformed lawyers from the Pentagon.

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

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

I am feeling rage and grief over the federal administration's proud "slashing" of these research agreements that have cut hundreds of projects aimed at understanding how $1.5 trillion of annual SSA spending affects everyday older & disabled folks. To save...checks notes $15 million.

here is the thing about the “argument” that democrats should have run roughshod over the law when they had the chance: it is much easier to break the law to destroy a program than break the law to create one.

FWIW, if you have one of many conditions, you’re eligible for more frequent COVID boosters—for now. Might be worth a trip to the pharmacy. Many can be scheduled online.

If you want to defend Medicaid, at this point in time, the key thing to understand is that reaching out to your federal elected via phone or in-person interaction, is key.

If revulsion at what my country is becoming stiffens the backs of people in other democracies to defend their rights, then good. At least that's something. The flag & anthem being booed as an expression of resistance to tyranny is better and truer to their purpose than them being cheered by nazis!

Yes. And the fact that people right now will say "they didn't earn my vote" when I ask "were your neighbors' lives not enough reason to vote?" Means they literally refuse to even recognize they have a duty as a citizen to use that small power to protect people

Late night take: There is a vast difference between “they don’t want us to have free and fair elections again” vs “we will never have free and fair elections again” and we should not conflate them.
