A reminder to Democratic "lawmakers" (other than AOC and Crockett, who have consistently been leading from the front) of what courage in the face of fascism looks like. Find your fucking spines and fix this shit.

There is nothing about the officers being purged that suggests any particular political ideology or partisan affiliation, and that's why they're being purged. It's not about replacing "woke" liberals or Democrats. It's about replacing professional nonpartisan neutrals with MAGA-hatted lickspittles.

This is our window. And if we don't seize it, I doubt any Allied Forces will come to our rescue.

Exactly so.

He nails it.

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.

A federal "probationary" employee is anyone who has been in their position less than a year. If you're hired under veterans preference, it's two years. EVERY seasonal employee is probationary. Virtually all firefighters. Most park rangers.

From a forest ranger, on fraud waste & abuse: "The federal government needs an oil change, not to be stripped for parts."

Fellow veterans, former coworkers, former clients, my kid's best friend's dad, childhood friends, the girl that sat next to me during driver's ed...all federal employees - dedicated civil servants - all lost their jobs over the past 10 days at the whim of the richest man in the world.

The battle for objective reality is sadly something I have a lot of practice with.

Zelensky is perhaps the defining figure of our age. Brave, ingenious, pragmatic and defined by his convictions. They hate him because he kills fascists.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.
