Thank you for using your platform to warn us. Regardless of what some suits at MSNBC think, your voice is desperately needed in this fight.

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...

Now that Trump has ousted Brown, and the heads of the Navy and Coast Guard, the remaining top military leaders are all white and male, particularly striking given that minorities make up nearly 40 percent of the military and women constitute fully a fifth.

Well to be fair, this is not the USA holding the gun. I think this is when someone has fallen thru the ice and now we're "negotiating" over the price of our help.

Negotiating? Is that what you call blackmail these days? Seems to me that they told him they would help end the war for 50% of the mineral rights. This, coming from a guy who has broken every treaty and reneged on every deal and doesn’t pay what he owes.

Would you trust any deal he makes?

You are on the wrong side of this @mcuban.bsky.social
Ukraine owes the US nothing, and talking about how the US would benefit off of strong arming an ally into giving up their own rights after being invaded by another country who was, like the US, sworn to protect Ukraine's sovereignty is vile.

Got to say I LOVE the Trump Administration negotiating to get Rare Minerals from Ukraine, for 2 reasons:
1. It reduces our dependence on China for Lithium and Graphite (China provides near 70% of world supply)
2. More than 50% of those minerals are in Russian Annexed land.

What a depressing fucking post @mcuban.bsky.social - first of all, 'negotiating w/Ukraine,' under threat of imminent demise by RU invaders? How is that going to be fair & equitable? That's like asking a hostage if their house is for sale, and walking up to them chained up in a basement to talk terms

Trump wants to move or merge the USPS (a constitutionally formed non-political entity)

Wait for it

With the commerce dept. (a political entity controlled by the executive branch)

So mail in ballots will flow through Trump‘s commerce dept.

Why does he want to do this?

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.

Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.

This is what "merit" means to them.
