Genuinely wondering what the administration's short-term plan is for dealing with the alarming numbers of people who 1) have been trained to kill 2) possess intimate knowledge of American intelligence operations and/or defense planning and 3) suddenly have very good reason to hate the government

I’ll say, I never thought Elon was interesting enough to be influential. But it turns out all he needed to do was be the highest profile person ever to bring back Nazism, and every piece of shit alive would crawl out from under their rocks to do the same.

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

I know it’s been treated as a sideshow but Musk’s insane breeding fetish, the high likelihood that his actual number of children is far, far higher than known, and the fact he has effectively abandoned almost all of them is actually one of the most damning things people can learn about the man

Literally have no clue how the media isn't covering this story 24/7 when its tailormade for ratings too given how TMZ'd people are with everything. This is one of the worst human beings in the country and he's co-president and the press just refuses to cover it in any meaningful way.

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 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.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Nobody has ever done something like this before, because it would have been instant impeachment. If we are a liberal democracy in 2030, we will have a very different constitution than in 2024.

The office of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was created with a fixed four-year term that does not coincide with a presidential term. In the 75 years the office has existed, no chairman has been removed. Removing a chairman without cause is as authoritarian as it gets.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

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

It never ceases to amaze me, the moment I use my platform on places like Instagram to say something about how it's wrong for Hamas to kill children, how many people decide to tell me I don't stand with Palestinians, etc etc. Usually white people with no connection to the land.

Unironically, these letters are a good example of how we’re ruled by evil men now. It would have cost them nothing to be at least slightly sympathetic. “Hey man, we know this is rough, but we have to tighten our belts and…” They instead deliberately made them as cruel as possible.

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.

one of the major problems with liberal revolutionary states is that the willingness to kill the president under some circumstances is a load-bearing pillar of the ideology and they cannot make it legal to say that perhaps we should kill the preaident
