🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

The Justice Department has removed a report from its website that lays out recommendations for tackling the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

I can't even fathom the kind of evil her classmates and their families are living in to get to this point.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.

Pretty damn good framing for Dems

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Senator Mazie Hirono on RFK Jr. "Mr. Kennedy is an anti-vaccine activist who peddles and profits from conspiracy theories, and has a troubling history of misconduct." BOOM! 🔥

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

This is an amazing speech. It’s a little long but worth it. www.youtube.com/live/QWf_b-_...

Elon Musk pushed out the FAA chief — who resigned 1 year into a 5 year term, last week. Why? Because last year the FAA fined SpaceX $600,000 — for safety violations. Now the FAA has no chief — and we just had the first commercial airline crash in 16 years.

So look, I usually do comedy / satirical #memes, but this is just too #important. So please repost this everywhere. Is an excellent interview of a recently released Russian citizen talking about Putin and the future... youtu.be/iVU5mh-CAlc?...

I continue to be deeply moved by this statement to the heavens by President Carter.

Rest in peace, President Carter
