Captain Bone Spurs Draft Dodger Convicted Felon is firing highly qualified military/pentagon officials to replace them with ring-kissing political loyalists. He has to be stopped. Fascism can’t be stopped by democratic processes. Read @avindman.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/alexande...

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.

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

The senior military officer purges will put our troops in danger. Trump put a part-time airmen incharge of the military, jumping a slew of 3 and 4-stars with 30-40 years of military experience. Our enemy couldn’t be happier.

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...

This should be a huge red flag to countries other than just Ukraine. Predatory weaponization of interdependence is something the US can probably exploit in the short term but the rest of the world will, rightfully, avoid American solutions if that's our modus operandi

And we got finger-wagged by a New England journo "expert" for not staying in our lane and sticking to our knitting (his words) and leaving hard stuff to (paywalled) NYT and Wapo. So we were right, and we did the right thing, and we didn't need anyone's permission to make our own news decisions.

Thinking again about Indivisible Brooklyn giving the excuse that they hadnt targeted Malliotakis for protests bc she wouldnt care if they did. It should be obvious now that GOP reps do in fact very much care about whether or not they get targeted for pushback & are likely to be easily rattled by it.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Feels timely to reshare this from from the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation. World leaders lay candles, in silence until spontaneous applause greeted Zelenskyy. Those there knew he is fighting the 21st century’s Nazis. 20 days on, a US regime has sided with them. What utter darkness.

I want justice. For the Bibas family, for Hersh, for ALL the innocents murdered by Palestinian Hamas on 10/7 and since 10/7, I want justice. The world sat by and watched people they thought were their friends cheer on the terrorists on October 8th. Justice is overdue. I want justice.

Just a day ago, Hakeem Jeffries went on the #1 Podcast in the US, Meidas Touch, to lay out Dems' plans to fight back against Trump and what people should do to fight back against Trump. At this point, I just have to believe that the angry people aren't actually listening to Dems.

here is the thing about the “argument” that democrats should have run roughshod over the law when they had the chance: it is much easier to break the law to destroy a program than break the law to create one.

"Let's figure out why men become Nazis" isn't a particularly rewarding game, in my opinion. Yes, everyone has reasons for what they do, but the answer to "why does a white man embrace a political system in which white men alone hold power" is fairly self-evident.

Deciding to build more housing during a housing crisis or waste a bunch of money tying that housing up in courts isn't a “Sophie’s choice”. Comparing your fears about a potential increase in traffic in your California beach town to the Holocaust is extremely offensive.

I think there’s this tendency to assume Musk enters each agency with some kind of plan. But his office is 30 people, largely children, and the federal government employs millions. He spends half his time on drugs, tweeting, doing interviews. It’s all random noise www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
