😔 Stars and Stripes workers are civilian federal employees DoD can terminate staff for administrative reasons like "insubordination." One characteristic of fascism is the total control over information to shape public perception and maintain power.

Let’s not miss the forest for the trees. DoD has a trillion dollar budget. It doesn’t care about settling wrongful termination claims. It cares about shutting down free speech to try to hide the disastrous failures of Trump and the Pentagon’s civilian leadership.

“This was good trouble.” Rep. Joyce Beatty successfully sued President Trump and forced the removal of his name from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The Ohio Democrat said she took on the fight because her ties to the venue — and to the Kennedy family — run deep. nyti.ms/4pcULxi
Rep. Joyce Beatty sits in a red suit, holding a large framed black-and-white photograph. In the 1962 photo, members of the National Association of Colored Women’s Clubs are presenting President John F. Kennedy with a framed portrait of President Abraham Lincoln. A headline reads: "Rep.
