This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.
And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors.
I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage."

There it is. THE LIE IS THE POINT. The executive branch posts misinformation regarding employment of military intervention in domestic affairs.
It was posted only to normalize military intervention in domestic affairs.
Don’t fall for it. Don’t normalize it.

WE AS A GROUP need to start harassing Legacy Media to SPEAK THE TRUTH AND CALL HIM OUT.
Imagine a day when Lester Holt (or similar on the big 3) says “Tonight we discuss Trumps delusional claims. Is he insane?”
They reach 70% of the electorate and IMHO are THE PROBLEM.

When asked by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse in a written question whether former President Biden won the 2020 election, Russell Vought, Trump's OMB Director nominee, responded: “I believe that the 2020 election was rigged.”
This is a reminder that Russell Vought was a chief architect of Project 2025.

The WSJ Editorial Board on Tulsi Gabbard:
“The question isn’t Ms. Gabbard’s patriotism. It’s judgment, and what message it would send friends and foes to confirm a director of national intelligence who doesn’t really seem to believe in protecting national intelligence.”

The government will do things that hurt people.
But knowing exactly what it is doing — & therefore who’s most at risk — is at the foundation of fighting against it. Anything else is doing Trump’s job for him.
Here’s a start.
