It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

DOGE staffer Edward “Big Balls” Coristine is the grandson of Valery Martynov - a “former” KGB spy. That’s right, one of Elon Musk’s young cyber criminals — related to a former KGB spy, and who seemingly did not have to undergo a background check — now has unprecedented access to…

This is why the military's Chief of Staff was fired this weekend. (Fired by a guy whose relevant work experience was weekend anchor on Fox News). Listen to it, and then help rise to defend the America that produced this noble man. www.youtube.com/watch?v=brQL...

This could happen anywhere: even Australia. Our governments are houses of ticky-tacky - not power, strength nor substance when it comes to standing up to bully boys. The much lauded American Constitution is being hollowed out every day and exposed for what it has become: a termite riddled ideal.

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...

It’s also logistically impossible. It’s wrong. It’s unconstitutional. And every single federal employee should send @elonmusk & Trump an email and tell them both to go fuck themselves.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

We should expect the President to fire senior military officials for incompetence or failure to follow orders (exactly why Harry Truman sacked MacArthur). But purging senior officers because they fail some political loyalty test—that’s what tyrants do. [1/2]

I’m with Wendy. The hatred of Meaghan Markle is sexist. It is no doubt also racist. What precisely has she done to be so vilified? Got married to a bloke from a famously dysfunctional family, fell out with them & moved away. All her sins are common ones. www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/li...

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

I wouldn’t think “moved to root out diversity initiatives” is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.

What with US media calling out Trump’s Ukraine lies in the headline, and SMH sort of calling Dutton a liar in this headline, it feels like journalists/editors are finally starting to understand what’s at stake when they act as stenographers for manipulative deceitful megalomaniacs.

The US economy is currently bigger than the next three largest global economies combined. Trump is blathering about the 19th and early 20th centuries because he thinks he’s living in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

What's happening in Ukraine is both tragedy and travesty. If the U.S. withdraws from NATO and it can't step up without our support, it will also be disaster and atrocity. And all of it can be laid at the feet of the traitor, Donald Trump. More in my latest: www.marytrump.org/p/at-the-ful...

Musk called DOGE “maximally transparent,” but it has refused to release info about its spending and operations — including the names of its employees. Thankfully, @propublica.org has identified 46 of them, including 12 new names just added to the list today.

You're wrong if you think what's happening in America won't happen in Australia. I was just told, "Ukraine bit off more than they could chew starting this war, didn't they?" There are people here who now genuinely believe that Ukraine is the aggressor. #auspol

This is Arielle Pines. A military spouse who worked in the Dept. of Veterans Affairs for 15 years. She received exceptional performance reviews. She was fired last week as part of Trump’s cuts. She was a “probationer” as she’d transferred to a new office. One story amidst 1000s of lives upended.
