FFS New York Times. They’re not *his generals. Unbelievable

Yeah, this is the one

[P] Look, I know it’s not helpful to the situation, etc. etc. But boy, wouldn’t it be phenomenal if every one of those 2 million federal employees replied with the complete script to BEE MOVIE.

The premise of American foreign policy to Ukraine, today, is one of grievance. It is worth patiently considering the proposals. They reveal little about Ukraine, but much about America in February 2025. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

FUN FACT: maga is the minority maga is the minority maga is the minority maga is the minority maga is the minority AND The resistance is the MAJORITY! We will defeat you as your only plan is destroying our country while lining your pockets. Keep flooding the zone. We’re watching & we will win!!

NEW: The Trump/Musk blitzkrieg aims to destroy government to advance oligarchy & autocracy—and to crush the Democrats & the progressive agenda. It's an existential crisis. Yet so many Dems are missing in action. In my OUR LAND newsletter, I ask, WTF? Pls share. link.motherjones.com/public/38721...

The DoD has never passed an audit and no doubt its spending should be reviewed. But Sec Hegseth knows little about how DoD works, and less about national security. It would be a good idea to bring in some expertise rather than just throwing the axes.  www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

He nails it.

. We buy just to buy—out of habit, not necessity. We have so much at home already, yet we keep accumulating. It’s time to break that cycle. Try going without. Appreciate what you already have. Most people have no idea what it means to truly need. Time to reset. #Boycott #StandUp #SaveMoney

. Talk to your family, friends, & coworkers NOW. What will it take for all of you to sit home together? March 15, everyone sits home. This is our moment to cause change stop letting fear divide us. Start the conversation TODAY. #RESIST #Shutdown315 #ORGANIZE ✊🏼 .

. Stop waking up, going to work, and pretending everything is normal. ITS NOT! Every day you play along, you’re helping them tighten their grip. Disrupt. Resist. Refuse to comply. Because if we don’t stop this now, there won’t be anything left to save. #RESIST ✊ #STOPWORKING

. Enrique Tarrio, leader of the Proud Boys, was arrested outside the U.S. Capitol after his lame attempt at a news conference was drowned out by counter-protesters with air sirens & 📢. He allegedly slapped a woman’s phone—real tough guy move. What a clown show. #ProudBoys #Tarrio #Resist .

Maine leads the way of open defiance. Thank you Janet Mills!

So the President has abruptly fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Charles Q. Brown Jr., and is replacing him with a retired three star general, Dan Caine. This portends a future grave crisis as the President attempts to restructure the military into one personally loyal to him.

Hey info here on why we should seize Russia’s frozen assets

This is how it’s done.

The Tesla Cybertruck is banned in Europe, due to its design not meeting European safety regulations, with its sharp edges & potential for pedestrian harm; it cannot be legally sold or registered in most European countries, including the UK.

"The Associated Press sued three Trump administration officials Friday over access to presidential events, citing freedom of speech" The president set a precedent by banning them for not writing"Gulf of America"and they rightly want that precedent overturned apnews.com/article/ap-l...

Donald Trump — The House resolution "implements my FULL America First Agenda, EVERYTHING, not just parts of it." The House plan slashes $880 billion from Medicaid—TRUMP OWNS THIS!!! Democrats need to speak out now—LOUDLY. Don’t Cut My Medicaid 📢

Velshi: With Trump back in office, are we witnessing the rise of an oligarchy?

Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

Trump is blasted for lies about Ukraine and warned not to be ‘weak’ with Putin by France’s Macron

I am trying to imagine the reaction of Joe Biden or Barack Obama had spoken to a Republican governor in this way at a public event. I just can’t. None of us can.

Trump could never in a billion years hold a cabinet position — yet somehow the most unqualified, uneducated, narcissistic, adjudicated, rapist, and 34x convicted felon was elected president.

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

Please follow and support former Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe — an inspiring representation of our OPPOSITION movement. Earlier this week, Kluwe appeared at a city council meeting in Huntington Beach City, California and exercised his right to peaceful civil disobedience —…

On February 23, 1945, the Marine Corps raised the U.S. flag at Mount Suribachi on #IwoJima. Photographer Joe Rosenthal won the 1945 Pulitzer Prize for capturing the moment.

Trump on Gaza: "It's a great location. I don't know why Israel ever gave that up ... it's one of the bad real estate deals."

Trump on Zelenskyy: "I've been watching him negotiate with no cards. He has no cards. And you get sick of it. You just get sick of it. And I've had it."

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

All the cowardly media outlets had to do was stand together, refuse to cover the admin PR stunts until the AP was back. Of course they didn’t because they are cowards. And now they will be picked off one by one. Courage has a shelf life. Use it. Or go away.

Love this guy. He appeared on the Mueller, She Wrote podcast in 2018. Hell of an activist.

Do you stand with Ukraine? 🇺🇦

Well now.
