Trump and Musk Are Going to War Against Military Veterans — Rolling Stone The president’s new executive order gives Musk and DOGE carte blanche and sets limits on hiring veterans and transitioning active duty military personnel

Watch out fellow veterans, they’re coming for us, too. He has told us what he thinks of us. Now he’s coming after the disability and medical benefits of those whose service took more from them than just the years we were in uniform.

Trump firing the 300 people who oversee our nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile and then realizing the gravity of his mistake before trying to backtrack is a perfect encapsulation of how is dangerous incompetence is putting the entire world at risk.

Don’t let anyone forget it.

Liebes Deutschland,

Als Amerikaner tut es mir sehr leid, und ich schäme mich, für unsere heutige Regierung. Bitte versuchen Sie daran zu denken, dass wir nicht alle wie Trump, Vance und Musk sind.

CISA Puts Election Staff on Administrative Leave Read more here.

CISA – a federal agency that helps secure elections from foreign threats and disinformation – has placed its employees on administrative leave. The move puts the security and integrity of elections in the U.S. at risk.

Rooting for the asteroid.

If these fools challenged me to justify my job, and I could economically afford the risk of being fired for it, I would certainly tell them to suck my dick.

I’ve told myself to try to post tidbits with at least some substance, but this proves the exception.

The Tesla logo, modified to resemble the silhouette of Elon Musk giving a fascist salute.

Are any MAGAts seeing what is happening, and filled with horror and regret? Or are they just slurping up Fox propaganda and cheering?

I have a new favorite pope.

I love this:

Ron Charles in the WAPO, about the Episcopal bishop who called upon the maggat-in-chief to be merciful: “Trump was seated in the front row of the congregation, but he was still too far away from Budde to grab her by the pulpit.”

How does the right miss something so fundamental?

DEI does not mean “hire unqualified people.”

It means “stop overlooking qualified people because they’re disadvantaged by prejudice.”

‘It’s the season to be (Edward) Gorey.

Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.

The time when Elon Musk got told how it is.

I just ran into the main plaintiff and their family in the hallway of the Supreme Court in the skrimetti case today, and we all hugged and now I’m in tears in the press room.

I thanked them profusely.

Trans people deserve equal protection. We deserve to live like anyone else.

Kushner Sr., in addition to his felonies, doesn’t speak any French.

Chris Christie [said about him], "it's one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes that I prosecuted when I was US attorney, and I was a US attorney in New Jersey, — so we had some loathsome and disgusting crime going on there!"

I’m new here, like many.

I was indiscriminately following back anyone who followed me.

Now I’m *flooded* with post by porn cam models and escorts (or con artists posing as such).

I don’t judge consenting adults doing their thing, I’m just not interested myself. Anyone know of a block list?

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer.

Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer.

We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is.

It will never reach you.

Vivek is literally an unelected federal bureaucrat.

It’s emotionally appealing of course. Hospitals might face sanitary or logistical challenges in some situations.

I’m not happy Trump was elected, but he was. Now he gets to assemble the cabinet he wants, subject to approval of the senate.

The senate should NOT vote down candidates that aren’t outrageous. If they are remotely qualified, Trump has the right to pick them.

Some of his picks need rejecting.

This is who Trump wants to be the face of America to a nuclear power and key NATO ally.

It’s December 1st and we should all pay homage to Rosa Parks today. On this day in 1955 she decided not to give her seat up on a bus in Alabama, and well the rest is history. We are all going to need to channel our Rosa Park’s for the next four years! Thank you Rosa for showing us how to #Resist
