“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.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

🚨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!

A reminder I will be providing at least once a month for all of the remaining years of my life: Months before the 2024 election, the Department of Justice announced that there were at least six hundred Russian assets inside the United States and that some...were SITTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

Musk claims he discovered that millions of dead people have been paid trillions of dollars in social security money, but Mike Johnson had the House take the week off instead of investigating this extremely serious allegation. If this is true, why are House Rs taking a week off?

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

The MAGA regime announced that the orange felon has signed an executive order saying he and his bribe for hire crook Pam Bondi are the only ones who can interpret what the law is. This is what freely committing a coup in broad daylight looks like. We’re fucked.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

2024 was the deadliest year for journalists, and nearly two-thirds of them were killed by Israel. The silence about this isn't negligence. It's a calculated decision by our leaders to let authoritarian regimes know that killing reporters is a permissible tool of repression.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.
