Nothing says "coup" quite like a loyalty test for the military! Taken to its logical conclusion: Mump will direct the US military against American citizens. Congress, are you still happy giving up all of your power and authority?

Part of the preparations for using the American military on American streets to commit violence against American citizens. Full caudillo. bsky.app/profile/avin...

Even before Trump 2.0, the Social Security Administration’s staffing levels were at a 50-year low due to a decade of budget caps & cuts authored by GOP lawmakers. Further staff cuts and office closures can only make things worse for America's most vulnerable. New, @propublica.org

More good reporting like this, please, cutting through the lies and bullshit of Musk et al. This is the #GoodTimes DOGE’s Only Public Ledger Is Riddled With Mistakes www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

I've been thinking, a lot, about how the Five Eyes deals with Trump -- in particular whether they (or certain foreign hosts of Big Tech) -- can replace the spying the alliance facilitates, AND ALSO whether Trump can replace his allies w/Musk's satellites. I don't know the answer, technically, BUT

If you support this, you’re an awful human being

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

This didn't take long.

Don't hold back now.

This is so many words to say Trump fired the chairman of the joint chiefs because he’s black www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

call it what it is: a military leadership purge www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Fascism = macho bullshit CPAC in DC = Dickfest

Important observation by @natashabertrand.bsky.social.⬇️ Now ask yourself, why would Secretary Hegseth and President Trump want to remove the most senior military lawyers?

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution.

"How 'just' is our justice system if people who overtly break the law, harm and even kill police officers and work to thwart our democracy are forgiven with the wave of an executive order’s wand?" Read more about who was pardoned from the Jan. 6 riot.

The FBI ordered the transfer of 1,500 staffers out of its Washington headquarters, two sources familiar with the orders told Reuters reut.rs/3QuHkbf

what would a foreign adversary do differently as part of a coordinated attack

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Today’s number is 81. As of 5:32 pm PT 2/21/25, 81 lawsuits have been filed against the regime, up from 80 yesterday. The pace has slowed. But have no doubt more to come. (per Just Security’s litigation tracker) #stopthecoup #resist #resistance #suethefascists
