🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

"This means that children are expected to show up in court, as of tomorrow, on their own, with no legal counsel, and try to defend themselves" 26,000 innocent children, some too young to read or talk, are now without legal representation in court. Morally reprehensible.

These cowardly puppets would’ve stayed mute if their guy had blamed Poland for Germany’s 1939 invasion — something not even Adolf Hitler dared to do www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

These guys are idiots.

This seems like a good day to re-up Abraham Lincoln's warning (which includes a passing reference to Napoleon):

this is of course crazy but the “no screens” thing is particularly rich coming from a guy who in very recent memory yanked it so hard over facetime a lady lost her job

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

Trump declared himself above the law today. Literally announced it. Pinned it to his feed for emphasis. The White House reposted it. All to underscore it’s not some passing thought, which would be bad enough. It’s not the top story on any news site that I can find. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“It would be worthwhile to study clinically, in detail, the steps taken by Hitler & Hitlerism & to reveal to the very distinguished, very humanistic, very Christian bourgeois of the twentieth century that without his being aware of it, he has a Hitler inside him.” —Aimé Césaire @morefius.bsky.social

Where are the CEOs of @deltaairline.bsky.social @americanair.bsky.social @unitedairlinesual.bsky.social @jetblue2.bsky.social ? They’re good with this. Where are the leaders of business?

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

On @facethenation.bsky.social, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was asked about VP Vance's decision to meet with Germany's far-right AfD party and speech scolding European countries for cracking down on Nazis. Rubio's response: "I thought it was actually a pretty historic speech"

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

This is probably the most accurate take.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

I can't believe they've just cancelled the Epidemic Intelligence Service program at CDC. This program trains the best & brightest epidemiologists, who then go on to have distinguished careers in public health, serving at CDC, in state health departments, overseas, ...

They’re doing project 2025, just like we said they would

I’d really like Pete to be in charge of something all the time.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

I would really like to see some Democratic-affiliated think tank or strategy group start putting together a Roadmap for Reconstruction or Trump Accountability Project or some kind of concrete plan for how we rebuild the state capacity and legitimacy that's being gutted right now.

these cabinet announcements are like an advent calendar counting down to the apocalypse

Hey guys meta announced a new policy where they send a killer to get you so be sure to go to settings>my account > killer> disable killer to turn that off

god this guy is an idiot. like, a stone cold idiot who sincerely believes that war fighting and preparedness is about having the biggest dick

Holy shit. This is fucking nuts.

Elon Musk thinks the poor are a "Parasite Class", & his philosophical guru Curtis Yarvin has "joked" that they should be melted down into biodiesel. But this is a fascist ethos, & some say the true "Parasite Class" are those who have become grotesquely rich off the labor of others.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

This is basically my entire book in chart form

Excuse me but … what in the ever loving fuck is this?? This is peak nationalist expansion, peak manifest destiny; performing blatantly illegal actions while wrapping oneself in the flag and calling it a great thing

The concept of “legitimacy” here is taken directly from the Weimar-Era writings of Carl Schmitt, who would go on to embrace Nazi totalitarianism. The idea is to cut out legislative and judicial control in favor of an all-powerful executive speaking for the nation (Volk). Now Vance has endorsed it.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.
