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 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.

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

22.02.1909 | Alexander 'Sasha' Pechersky, son of a Jewish lawyer, was born in Kremenchuk. In late Septe. 1943, a transport from Minsk arrived in Sobibor. Among them was Pechersky, who survived selection. Without Pechersky, the Oct. 14, 1943 uprising in Sobibor would not have happened. Who was he?

Re-endorsing @waitmanwbeorn.com 's book Marching into Darkness; he shreds the myth that the German Army had no role in the holocaust. One of the many insights was dispelling the rumor of consequences for those who refused to participate. The fact is, soldiers could refuse. Some did. Not enough. 1/

Hegseth is absolutely a dude who thinks the US fought WW2 with the Garand, B17, and Iowa class, and not the DUKW, C47, and LST.
