Just handing us over to Putin.

ruku9.bsky.social•37 days ago

Doesn't matter. They are all corrupt anyway. No sympathy.

androidmedia.bsky.social•37 days ago

Demotion without cause?

svpmitchem.bsky.social•37 days ago

Is that allowed in the States? Definitely not here in the UK

androidmedia.bsky.social•37 days ago

US Federal employees have different rules/rights than those employed at the state or even civilian level. Federal government employees classified as "civil servants" have even more protections from this type of politically movitivated nonsense. I don't know if these roles are protected.

knittiotsavant.bsky.social•37 days ago

It’s generally allowed, but can end up getting you sued.

keeshiweeshi.bsky.social•37 days ago

No, not at all. Trumps administration is just doing whatever they want. It's not right at all.

olderthanmost.bsky.social•37 days ago

All part of Project 2025 that voters voted for without knowing

sirbradwi.bsky.social•37 days ago

No...they knew. They just chose to gamble that this was better than electing a qualified non-white woman.

tarzan1946.bsky.social•37 days ago

Level headed, educated and American values loving FBI agents must remain vigilant and cool. Use the skills you have learned to stand up to tyranny, by stealth if necessary.

hopefuldem.bsky.social•37 days ago

If this isn’t a problem for the republicans in charge of confirming the nominee to lead this agency, we are in a terrible place.

brentbradshaw.bsky.social•37 days ago

I understand why they would leave but I hope they don't.

srhammond.bsky.social•37 days ago

The purge continues. Everyone should be screaming from the hilltops. This is NOT ok.

anitamann.bsky.social•37 days ago

Don’t leave!!

farawayeyes1.bsky.social•37 days ago

Well, sounds like he’s on the right path making America safe again. Except, he’s not. Getting rid of our top FBI agents? Pete has sent a drug? Cash Patel, a Waka do? We’re fucked.

longstanding.bsky.social•37 days ago

They could cobble together their own revenge tour and save us all from the orange dictator. 💡

oldbutgold1.bsky.social•37 days ago

Wasn’t Wray appointed by Trump?

kam03.bsky.social•37 days ago

Yes he was

muzikmomma21.bsky.social•37 days ago

They should hold the line and make them physically remove them. This is insanity.

maggiecenter.bsky.social•37 days ago

Trump is moving very in destroying the country. Why. It is a whirlwind of lies, firing and rewriting history. Why. Something more worse is on the way. Do not rest.

alisonleighindc.bsky.social•37 days ago

How is this not illegal?

dlandes.bsky.social•37 days ago

Don’t quit! They are civil service…..RESIST

veggieman801.bsky.social•37 days ago

While attempting to cut away some of the fat, the butcher cut and discarded the tenderloin and t-bones and ribeyes just to be a dick…..

peninsulaguy1.bsky.social•37 days ago

Again, crickets from the Democratic Party.
This is getting very dangerous now where checks and balances are being removed and soon nothing to stop Trump and his mafia.

srchowub.bsky.social•37 days ago

Sounds like they have a pretty good case against the government.

kracer20.bsky.social•37 days ago

That "Who could have done this?" hotdog costume meme is going to be so overused in the next four years.

ck1956.bsky.social•37 days ago

Moral must be at an all time low

protestspb.bsky.social•37 days ago

It reminds Ukrainian army after firing Zaluzhny by Putin

vogonpoetryclub.bsky.social•37 days ago

southerngent61.bsky.social•37 days ago

Let them fire you so you can sue.

radiogirl1071.bsky.social•37 days ago

I hope they fight back, take legal action. This is blatantly wrong.

gac60.bsky.social•37 days ago

I hope they all fight back and give Elon the finger 🖕

diogenes1147.bsky.social•37 days ago

Very sick & disturbing! Trump is destroying America!!!

myrnadash.bsky.social•37 days ago

It’s not a purge, it’s a dismantling of checks and balances. The fascist clown doesn’t want accountability.

hubba8088.bsky.social•37 days ago

Serve Trump, not the country

apopularmonster.bsky.social•37 days ago

Make. Them. Fire. You.

sparklerblue2.bsky.social•37 days ago

They should all stand firm and tell them to fuck off.

If forced out
go with your fellow employees down the block to another building and continue your work.

Wondering who will pay you ?

Oh-you will be paid !!

Handsomely 😏

Kyle, do you have any insight on what their possible legal redresses might be?

yayavictoria.bsky.social•37 days ago

This modern day society has zero ounce of courage

heathy17.bsky.social•37 days ago

Not good, we are doomed ugh

jacquelines.bsky.social•37 days ago

Don’t resign

pvandermeer.bsky.social•37 days ago

Oh great, let’s replace them with unqualified white men

angiedplus4.bsky.social•37 days ago

We all knew this was going to happen. They told us this was the plan. They have been recruiting people exactly for this reason. They will install Trump loyalists everywhere. I remember arguing with Trump supporters about this very thing. They didn’t believe this would happen.

catservantx3.bsky.social•37 days ago

Same. And here we are.
But…eggs!🥚🥚🥚🥚

jamea.bsky.social•37 days ago

Don’t resign

martinaroman.bsky.social•37 days ago

Trump is replacing everyone with people who share his ideology and who will follow his orders with no questions asked. Just like Hitler.

silkstillspeaking.bsky.social•37 days ago

Anyone who hurt the thin-skinned dictator, Donald Trump, will be fired and replaced w/ less qualified people whose only purpose will be—retribution. Welcome to the nursery of the meanest, biggest cry baby in America.

retiredinnkeeper.bsky.social•37 days ago

🔥 I would stay till they kicked me out then sue them💥

barb310.bsky.social•37 days ago

This is just so wrong!

rarebirdcreativ.bsky.social•37 days ago

omg

laurahasdogs.bsky.social•37 days ago

Ok @warren.senate.gov @corybooker.com @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov what the fuck are we doing about this?

gregoryab600.bsky.social•37 days ago

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

bigbertha.bsky.social•37 days ago

Ok gonna stop doomscrolling now bc reality is very scary and my brain is about to short out

magafree.bsky.social•37 days ago

Leak, leak, leak. We need government employees and employees of the fascist loving oligarch companies to leak as much as possible about the fascists’ plans. Under the present circumstances, such leaks are a sacred civic duty.

timotea.bsky.social•37 days ago

But how do we protect the leakers? Look what happened to Lieutenant Colonel Vindman. In Nazi Germany, it was a treasonable act to speak out, refuse orders or leak information about what was happening in Germany. Punishable by death. Some will sacrifice all, others won’t.

wendy1.bsky.social•37 days ago

Hitler's purge.

flygenesis.bsky.social•37 days ago

Another impending disaster coming due to chaos

joeymannarinous.bsky.social•37 days ago

Gutting the FBI to make it easier for the rich child rapists, like those in the unreleased Epstein files that donold refuses to promise to release, from ever seeing justice.

thewiseoldbat.bsky.social•37 days ago

And while seasoned prosecutors are out, Elon Musk has “spies” in the FBI headquarters. An oligarch is spying on the FBI - our own KGB.
