REPUBLICANS VS. BLACK PEOPLE, PART 20: www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio... This man's qualifications and accomplishments are too long to list here. Donald Trump fired him because he's black. Period. youtu.be/UjPco68usEo?...

Incredibly chilling and clear-eyed piece from @frank-bowman.bsky.social spelling out the implications of Trump’s latest executive orders—which, stripped of their muddled legalese, essentially anoint him as a monarch with absolute power. slate.com/news-and-pol...

DOD 40% BUDGET CUT, process thoughts: Telling the Services to plan a massive cut in one week with neither one's Pentagon strategy & budget appointees in place nor detailed planning guidance out (I assume) is not setting up for success, and more likely to facilitate Service preferences 1/

Years before Hitler invaded the USSR, Nazi agents planted fake disloyalty rumors about Stalin’s top generals on Vienna phone lines they knew Soviets had tapped. They convinced Stalin to purge & shoot his own best generals before the outbreak of war. Imagine Putin’s FSB planting gossip today…🤔

I spoke with @katherinestewart.bsky.social about her new book, which she wrote after spending much of the past couple of years embedded with the movement to end democracy. It's called "Money, Lies and God" and is a ground's eye view of American fascism. www.salon.com/2025/02/18/h...

Always fighting ghosts. And so long as they inject race into it, they can get millions to accept it in the place of actually making their lives better. BLM, CRT, DEI, “woke,” antifa And this has the added benefit of targeting any nascent effort of organizing in which Black ppl are involved.

Next up in Trump & Musk’s federal gov’t demolition derby: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which protects consumers from scams by banks & other financial institutions. They truly don’t care whether corporations scam us out of money. CA does care & we’ll continue to work to protect consumers.

Trump wants to shut FEMA because it acts as non-partisan oversight. If he controls aid funding, he can blackmail Democratic states, and still give vast Federal dollars directly to Republican governors, with no checks on how much of it they actually spend on disaster relief… Always follow the money!💰

The media is not prepared for this: the oligarch's coup should not be the third most important story of the day. Don't be distracted: tariffs are stupid and damaging, but they are not illegal. Nothing is more important right now than the dismantling of democracy happening right in front of us.

"It's been communicated, I'm told, to the Canadian government, that if there is a retaliation of any kind, then the U.S. will increase its trade action against this country. Now that puts them in a very difficult position. I mean, what choice do you have, but to retaliate?"
