Trump’s Pentagon purge has included the top military lawyers. Nobody should be surprised. Dictators politicize the military. Trump wants those with the biggest guns loyal to him, not the Constitution He says he’s demilitarizing it. I call BS. Orwellian to the core. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

I'm really, really worried about Trump firing the top JAG brass and replacing them with MAGAJAGs. These are the lawyers who decide if a military action is legal. Is Trump prepping justification for shooting protesters in the legs? #Resist #resistance #GoodTrouble

Whoa

👀 🔥

200 million dollars of waste.

King Musk-Trump removed the Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour (without cause) and trying to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander. Yep, being Black is a crime.

Humans have three life support systems — our bodies, our infrastructure, and our environment — and Trump and his enablers are attacking all three. They are going to kill us all.

This! Good trouble every day. Boycotts, demonstrations, general strikes, tax filing strikes.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Rep. Jason Crow: “The purge of senior officers at DOD is deeply troubling, but purging JAG officers worries me the most. “JAG officers interpret law for our commanders. They help determine what's lawful and constitutional. “Replacing these military lawyers with Trump loyalists is so dangerous.”

This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

Ice was melting at the North Pole last month in the dead of winter. What's going on? leahy.substack.com/p/freezing-y...

Climate change is the biggest crisis humanity faces in the 21st century and just because they are trying to eliminate all mentions of the word “climate“ doesn’t actually solve anything.

I was just added to someone’s list called “engaged scientists in climate change” and for a minute, I misread it as “enraged scientists in climate change” … which would probably be 100% accurate …

Ice is nature's most precise and reliable thermometer. And if you're one of those people who thinks a stable climate is a nice thing, what it's telling us ain't good.

A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants. #IDsky #Medsky #Episky www.science.org/content/arti...

Woah! 😳🔬🧪📚

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

this message is for Gov Mills of Maine. Hi. TY. Love you. 💕⭐️

Rep. Grothman (R-WI): President Trump has done some very good things Crowd: Booooo

"That is what we — our government, our country, our society — stand to lose if we lose [EJ] from EPA...We will lose the ones whose faces are often the first that communities across our country encounter that make them feel heard and understood by their government instead of ignored and pushed aside"

Really enjoying the stories about congressmen getting yelled at about DOGE shit in their town halls. Not because I feel like it's necessarily going to move things in the right direction in the next election cycle or two, really. I just like stories about congressmen getting yelled at I think.

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.

My Dumbass voted for This Dumbass and now i dont wanna pay tariffs!! https://www.reddit.com/r/democrats/comments/1ivedkz/my_dumbass_voted_for_this_dumbass_and_now_i_dont/ https://www.reddit.com/r/democrats/comments/1ivedkz/my_dumbass_voted_for_this_dumbass_and_now_i_dont/

Did you hear about the Italian chef? He pasta away. Get it? I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

If you're naked on the front porch and the neighbors can't see you, it's rural. If you're naked and the neighbors call the cops, it's suburban. If you're naked and the neighbors ignore you, it's urban. If you're naked on the front porch and your neighbor is also naked, it's Florida.

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.

NEW: The Associated Press is suing Trump Administration officials in federal court for banning AP reporters from events over the organization continuing to use the name 'Gulf of Mexico.' AP says the ban violates the First and Fifth Amendments.

His very own Praetoriae. Indeed, what could go wrong?

Disney just laid off the entire staff that makes National Geographic Kids books. Everyone. Gone. This hits home both as a parent and as an author of an NG kids book. Please RT if you care about these books. The CEO of Disney just received a 30% raise, bringing his pay to $41.1 million.

Let’s be honest. We really needed this. #4Nations #CanadaWins

Reposting until the fundraiser's time period expires. Thank you to all of you who've already contributed. The writer/director, producers and crew really appreciate your support. #film #filmmaking #filmmakers 📽️🎥 Adding a teaser: vimeo.com/1056163710

As we begin the IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Cities, I’ve been worried and wondering about my American colleagues’ ability to participate. Doesn’t look good. Canadians should also know that the feds have cut their financial support for scientists’ participation as well.
