I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA.
The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

It's called Project 2025.
All these Trumpers must feel the pain of what they voted for.
Substack calls it.

Gov helping the poor is their enemy.
Medicaid covers
40% of all pregnancies,
35% of all kids,
25% of all Americans.
The highest % is in Louisiana.

The knock on effect will be States, deciding that if MAGA means telling the rest of the world (except Russia) to go fuck itself, then it's every man for himself.
In the end, if it's not happening to them, the other States won't give a toss about what's happening to you.
Cutting government waste is one thing. Cutting critical structures so the government can’t do its job…as they are going to find out. Is another

-=per orders of Putin.
Our sabotage and destruction is the aim, this is not a difference of political parties.
They can induce a genocide and their families will be insulated.
I guess a life of luxury in modernity wasn’t good enough for them. They need the power trip.
Luigi guy seems popular all of a sudden.
So here we are
Our food will not be safe. Medical research will stall. Bridge construction, dam repairs will be left undone.
The people cheering this on have no clue how much it will affect them.
Be ready.
Yes, the economic repercussions will be global.
Don’t buy anything on Feb 28.
Stop supporting the oligarchy. Sell oligarch’s company stock. Don’t shop oligarch.
If they attack us, we must respond
When I left govt service after 8 years, I requested the money back that I had paid in, & they give it to you.
NY/NJ/CT has been woke - yes goddamnit I’m a Black woman using a BLACK word how I feel like it! - for a minute + has been doomsday prepping (paperwork, health, cash)
Seriously considering consolidating households w/relatives
They need correction! Directly on
-cluelessness re culture
-shallow, self-centered perceptions that miss ANY other perspective
-ignorance on history, geography, global takes
& LYING.
The scope of DOGE's rampage hasn't quite sunk in.
But it will...

If you select another madman then yeah, expect a radical reshaping of the landscape.
Europe needs to kick us out now, we're a hostile state and they are less safe with us there.
If Trump wants them to stay, EU can extract payment from him via weapons for Ukraine.
Also, the value of US military bases is in US logistics. European military logistics is amateur hour in comparison.
Keep attending the protests until we get change! Keep trying to encourage more people to attend. If we get 10 million Americans in the streets they will have to listen. No military can stop that many people
Today I am not spending as a deliberate effort to participate in #ZeroSpendTuesdays.

Extracting myself from Google services will be the most challenging as my digital life has been interwoven with them for years.
I hope we don’t see a Covid level cratering of the economy but I wouldn’t put it past these sociopaths.
No offense Keef and Mick. Or anyone else who, like me, keeps an unmade bed.
Trump always just seems like a sack of broken eggs. Mentally and physically.
Before you come after me about violence, ask yourself if you regret the US fighting WW2

For example, National Parks. Research universities. Rangelands. Many cities.
We have to SHOW how many people are DIRECTLY affected.
They have changed our nation into a dictatorship by abdicating their authority over to Donal Trump.
Be ready.
But the affluent parts of the DC had unnatural economic growth after the 9/11 Attacks.
The Republicans can stop this; they just don't want to.
They will hopefully face criticism at home from their constituents.
Real talk: No one's coming to save those ppl. I'd advise they take to the streets. In all seriousness, the court process won't save them. Congress is powerless. They've been battered, bullied, and demeaned. They can be victims or at least try to save themselves.
Posts an extract from Batman film saying this is happening in Uk. British police had to post saying this is not happening!’
Musk had posted a film extract from Batman.
Disinformation from American govt is the norm now.
You really are in la la land
They flood their airwaves with lies, just like Trump and Elon.
In 4 years Trump will be gone but Putin will still be here, empowered by trump
The first group wants to rationalize their choice and have it be right. Both groups will need to experience _personal_ loss to wake up.
trump HAS DECLARED WAR AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !!!
trump has DECLARED WAR against Our Founder's Principles!
trump has DECLARED WAR against Our Constitution!
trump has DECLARED WAR against Our Rule of Law!
TRUMP MUST BE STOPPED !!!
AMERICA !!! TAKE TO OUR STREETS !!!

Biden stole the election here. Would be 5 but you didnt vote for the glorious leader early enough.
If that's your worry then you've completely failed to see what's happening
s/
There's a lot of "normies" out there--left, right, and center--who have no clue what's going on or what's coming down the pike.
Force Trump’s stubby little hand.
Bullies cave under pressure!
NPR reported that Alaska has more federal workers than oil workers.
They also reported that Univ of Alabama is one of the biggest recipients of NIH funding and that Alabama's economy will be "devastated" by the cuts. That's JUST from NIH funding.
Some children just keep trying to touch the stove no matter how many times you stop them and they eventually get burned.
but there's no better show on earth than faces being eaten by leopards
This is karma at a national scale, and will have to be met with unprecedented response.

I don't think he'll do well on the basis of so many VA Federal workers on unemployment.
time

stop
the
madness
was
november
sadly, "hope" is carrying a lot of weight in that thought
Or Florida when people are too scared to get on a plane.
But no worries; Elon will start a company to (theoretically) provide the missing services for 2x as much money. Then, he’ll fuck that up too.
He gets money; you get screwed.
I am thinking of bumping my dependents up to 20 though
Trump and Elon are creating a Bonus Army whose full time job should be protesting and blockading all business in DC until this stops.
Education cuts mean same for teachers across the country.
I pray for all the families whose lives have been turned upside down.

Would you be willing to share how your life was worse under Biden?
I think we’re making the same point
Good luck to all those voters who choice this. May you die of enteritis from the water; bird flu from the eggs; listeria from the cattle; e-coli from the greens.
They need to read their history on how they mistreated their black citizenry, if they need more ideas. That’s where I got mine from.
I still haven’t seen a WP story on it yet.
Federal spending and employment are all over the state.
I'm all the way over here in fuckin MO. It's kind of difficult for me to get there.
This is going to fuck the economy MASSIVELY.
Be ready.
"Atlas Meh" 🤷♂️
The thing is that none of them have been *willing* to stop the madness.
Who knew a bunch of zit-faced computer nerds could just walk in to any government server room in the country and start fucking with things.
This is an attack on America
I love my aunt but I am furious with her family and all the people who elected an insurrectionist, sexual abuser and felon. I can't even gloat about Nebraska, it's too sad.
