Lotta folks who think Pumpkin Spice Palpatine won't directly use serious violence on Americans need to brush up on their history. Or, let's be frank, current events.

Important for understanding implications of the Defense Department purge. Who will be their replacements? Recall this report from December: "Prospective occupants of high posts inside the Pentagon" were asked "whether they believed the 2020 election was stolen."

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

Dear people saying we should be sympathetic to Trump voters who are regretting their vote now that they're recognizing their own face is on the Leopard Bistro menu: No.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Many people are saying that they’ve never seen federal spending as tremendously efficient and not wasteful as it is today.

As America is being torn apart, weakened, and sold to the highest bidder, I think about all the folks who told me, "Well, it won't be THAT bad" and "We survived 4 years of Trump..." and "The systems will hold." All of them are privileged and well-off. Alas. We're all in it now.

Dear Federal Government managers: Enough is enough. Say no, push back, end this utter nonsense and let the work of the government end until legal actions are restored.

Abled cishet white people: "Who could have seen this coming?" The rest of us: "Uh. Hi? We've been telling you this for literally generations." ACHWP: "Really, who? There was simply no way of knowing."

Friendly reminder that Medicaid and Medicare are different things, as are SSD and SSI. These monsters want to kill all of it, so there's that, but let's please be accurate when we're talking about individual programs.
