Please read and share. But especially share with folks that might not realize how critical Section 504 is to so many people. I tried to write a simple clear explanation at the break. I hope it reaches some people who aren't already on our side. Gift link: www.startribune.com/why-are-repu...

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

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

Replacing the military brass and attorneys with three-star generals you pluck from retirement is exactly what a dictator looking to use an army to do some violence does.

Valuing diversity is not a crime Installing white men in every position of power is not a meritocracy

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA: - Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies - Air traffic control support staff - Employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes - Staffers who medically clear pilots to fly www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

I really hate the "put up with the grime, it's a city" mindset, but I hate this sort of declinism more. A country that gives up on public transit bc it's scary, and crams more people into cars, is a failure.

It’s scary to have threats of violence directed toward you. It is fucking reprehensible to use your power to deflect those threats and in so doing amplify them ten thousandfold against the population you claim to represent.

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

Everybody thinks the "Gulf of America" thing is petty nonsense, but it's just prelude for this motherfucker changing his honorific to "His Excellency" and banning news organizations that refuse to refer to him that way.

This is probably a good time to point out that one big group of IGs Trump fired were busy finding $100s of billions in COVID fraud, enabled by Trump's own incompetence. Another big group fired were in charge of tracking spending in Ukraine. He literally fired people tracking problems with this $$.

Trump regime tweets this wordless video—nothing but the hum of an engine & the clanking of chains—comprised of closeup shots of a human being shackled for deportation. This is, no hyperbole, fascist fetish porn.

The short, medium, and long term consequences of what Trump and Musk have done will be devastating. Families will be ripped apart, careers destroyed, and the US will be totally unable to respond to whatever political or financial crisis inevitably results from Trump's cruelty and incompetence.
