"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."
- Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

Trump defends the prospect of Qatar gifting him a plane to use as Air Force One U.S. officials say it could be converted into a potential presidential aircraft to replace the 40 year old Air Force One. The Qatari government said a final decision hadn’t been made.

Trump is literally trying to fly around on a plane from a foreign government while serving as President. That’s a violation of the Constitution.

The Emoluments Clause wasn’t a suggestion. It’s the LAW.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR!

Europe is actively recruiting. And I m getting texts daily from Chinese recruiters.

Thank you

She likes those personal invites on his plane….

Slept in my Tom Waits t-shirt and now my piano is drinking.

I had legit completely forgotten this.

My husband has been a composer and musician for over 40 years. ( Steven Gores on Youtube). Spotify may pay the highest at .003 cents, but all of the platforms have invented the perfect gift. Think of it as having a hardware store but never having to pay for your inventory.

So proud of my granddaughter, Cora. These are some great pieces! She's a sophomore at U of Mich Ann Arbor.

This is how the world views the US.

Australia calling out fascism, then adding that "Trump is a disaster for humanity and he belongs behind bars, not the oval office."

There is still beauty in this world

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Not just the National Institutes of Health, now the National Science Foundation is put on pause.
Reminder: research is a multi-step process. Pausing the peer review panels by itself creates months of delay.

Please watch this entire video. We need to focus on the positive future we want and not just react.

Too many young people are being killed by police. It may have been warranted— and I don’t support any of the J-6 bs. They are criminals. But if you want a real eye opener, the young man killed by police in his home in Mobile Alabama is heartbreaking.

This is sad— for all of us. The lack of details, the idea that this person was probably groomed by his father… and killed when resisting arrest— I need more facts to understand why the killing is justified.

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history:

In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun."

The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen.

So they refused to announce a winner🤡

Of course. They all are liars.

Trump forgot that we export corn to Columbia. Millions in revenue for our farmers. Thats why Todd stepped up. It’s a real clown show.

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak.

Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

Mel Gibson… advocating physical abuse and a green light on domestic violence. Creeps!!

This has become a popular metaphor on the Right and it captures their political project so precisely:

The unruly kids, that’s everyone who dares to deviate from white Christian patriarchal rule; the only way to deal with them is via coercion and violence – the Leader must punish them.
