What an embarrassment to our country with the current clueless Sociopathic Cosplayers in charge.

I'm confused. Won't resigning leave a spot open for a yes man/yes woman?

This is an deeply learned person. A great loss.

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging."

As an #American refugee from #Vietnam, I have learned to aspire to create and build a better world where I did not need to escape but one that is welcoming.

One that is earned and not given.

This to me is #success. This to me is #growing_up.

Her message aligns with my values.

Why are you vacating power so a fascist can hold it?

toxicaudri.bsky.social•14 days ago

You don't have to be complicit, you just have to obstruct and create chaos in the halls of power.

toxicaudri.bsky.social•14 days ago

This resignation will just allow a fascist to hold the position. She was better off remaining and working against the system, now whos gonna do that? A fascist whos on board with everything? GG dems way to fuck us over for fascism further.

It's a continuation of the attacks on democratic values and democracy itself.

AKA, abandoning ship with a nice speech.

There are so many critical points made in Alondra Nelson’s statement.

Best written article I've read in ages.

Trouble is, resignations are what they want. MAGA/ Project 2025 plans to replace everyone at all levels of government with loyalists, and - as we've seen - they don't care whether those loyalists can actually do those jobs or not.
