Another racist and sexist move by Trump's mobsters: they support only white males in top leadership, anyone else is a #DEI hire. #AirForce General CQ Brown, head of the Joint Chiefs fired for being black, and Lisa Franchetti, head of the #Navy fired for being a woman. news.usni.org/2025/02/21/j...

What does it say about #Musk who wants to reduce the #JWST by 20% but still go to Mars? That he's a whinypants who can't stand competition. But he's short-sighted: Earth & Mars will be gone in 1-2 billion yrs. Another ex of the current WH not caring about people www.space.com/space-explor...

Fallacy of DOGE: if #Musk were serious about federal waste, inefficiency, etc, they would look for redundant or poor performers. But they are simpletons, firing new hires including veterans, TSA workers, healthworkers-people that help keep this country going www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

To fight for #conservation and against the erosion of the public trust, time to call your Reps and express your disagreement with these firings. The Department of the Interior is supposed to protect the #environment, #endangered species and their #habitat, www.refugeassociation.org/news/2025/2/...

Another sign that the US is moving backwards, and that Trump and #Musk are anti-progress and pro-white racists. Cannot be explained any other way. #Apartheid is not ancient history, so this EO rewards some of the older generation that still has blood on their hands, www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-...

Orangutans are not communal animals, and fathers in the wild are usually absent. Berani, a male Orangutan at the Denver zoo, defied that rule by stepping in as the sole caretaker for his 3 year old daughter, Cera, after her mom unxpectedly passed away

Feels like politics is crazy but your voice & opinion matter, especially now. Call all your Reps daily even if Republican. Tell them you're outraged, pissed, worried, anxious, bewildered and/or alarmed & you want them to push back against Trump #democrats #push4progress #fbi #gaza #Medicareforall

Trump is suggesting #Palestinians be removed from #Gaza. That is their home! That is where they are from! They have been there for thousands of years! It is unconscionable that he even entertains such immoral ideas. Call your Reps. and Senators and tell them they need to push back against Trump!

Mountain lions and all wildlife deserve to be protected from illegal trapping. Nevada missed an opportunity and lags far behind other states in fair chase ethics-it's unconscionable to wait 4 days to check traps. #mountainlions #WildlifeEthics #conservation wildearthguardians.org/press-releas...

The Current Regime is not so much a change from 1 political party to another in the WH as it is the occupation of the Nation by a hostile force They don’t care what the Laws, regulations, & accepted norms are - they intend to or are doing whatever they want & will continued until they are stopped

Yeesh, Trump is not "more normal or more to the center than the Democrats", there are just more intolerant people in this country. We need to call out racist white nationalist religious demagoguery and quit blaming the election loss on lack of a Dem primary or whatever, thespun.com/sports-media...

Outrageous & immoral how casually Trump ignores (or doesn't comprehend) issues of sovereignty & self-determination of Gazans, and autonomy of poor Arab nations. If Palestinians are somehow forcibly removed, son-in-law Jared is poised to profit off the land grab. #Gaza www.axios.com/2025/01/26/t...
