I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

NC has changed the way they do continuing Ed for lawyers. Used to be 12 hours per year with grace period to end of Feb. Now 24 hours in 2 years w/ no grace period. So this will be the last time I spend the last week of Feb getting my cle credits. Now it will be week between Christmas and New Year's.

I'll say it again purging the highest ranks of the military and replacing them with retired loyalists is what you do directly before you deeploy the military against the domestic population and our allies abroad.

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

When Kathy Hochul was appointed to replace Cuomo, I said she had the opportunity to be considered a great governor just by being minimally competent. Alas, I greatly over estimated her abilities.

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...

My question to every person in Trump's DOJ is HAVE YOU EVER FUCKING APPEARED ON COURT BEFORE? Every attorney at one point or another has been dressed down and embarrassed by a judge. Usually when, like the DOJ attorney in DC you make an incredibly stupid and indefensible argument.

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

About 19,000 people are sentenced to federal prison for drug trafficking each year. Many, many more are charged and convicted in state courts. For this math to hold up, the U.S. would be losing tens of millions of people per year to drugs. Overdose deaths are high, but not even close to that.

When people cheer Mangione, watch for tons of pearl-clutching about norms from people who absolutely reject and ignore both norms and actual laws. They seek to impose standards they don’t follow. They’d never apply those norms and standards to Trumpism.

ICE raided a home up the block from me last week. My neighbors had attended a community ICE watch training with @siembranc.bsky.social and did exactly what they'd learned: verified, challenged, and witnessed. truthout.org/articles/tru...

@zeteo.com I love American Unhinged, but please, please turn the volume up on your clips. I can't hear them at all and they are so much lower than the commentary from Wajahat and Francesca that it is annoying.

I keep saying that he is NOT popular. I'll add that some of these polls show him underwater on the economy which even when he was at his lowest in the first term folks who were Apprentice pilled still gave him good marks on the economy.

Alabama grand jury recommends a small town's police department be "immediately abolished" as it issues indictments for five officers, including the police chief. Investigation started when a dispatcher was found dead from a toxic drug combo at work. abcnews.go.com/US/hancevill...

The Nazis and fascists wouldn’t be running a massive demoralization campaign, coupled with a terror campaign online if they thought they had the power to pull off what they were trying to do without a fight. They are weaker than we are and we outnumber them 100 to one. They will reap the whirlwind
