From How Fascism Works:
"Because fascism thrives under conditions of economic uncertainty, where fear and resentment can be mobilized to set citizens against one another, labor unions guard against fascist politics’ gaining a foothold."

many Americans are showing their support of these workers by protesting en masse around the Country so perhaps if you showed more coverage of that, it would help these workers feel supported and know they aren't alone. Just a thought.

Welcome to the real world. Federal workers are no more immune from firings than the much larger private sector. If you're not wanted or not needed, you're gone. But don't worry. Joe Biden created 7,600,000 Job Openings. Go get one of those jobs. Myles Garrett. Jasmine Crockett. AOC.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or chat live at 988lifeline.org. You can also visit https://bit.ly/3Fg2ZSp for additional support.

Very sad, and very serious. The same happens with victims of #domesticabuse. Where’s the conversations, media coverage about this, and how our Congress still isn’t doing enough to help the victims?

Will there be anyone there to respond to you?

Sure, the cops will be notified, and show up itching for an excuse to pull their weapons.

A CDC employee committed suicide after he was terminated by Trump/Musk. This is real life.

These attacks are against Catholic Social Teaching. No one claiming to be Christian (Catholic or not) should support this. The dignity of the human person and their right to the opportunity to work is clear in Part I, Ch 2, D
of the Vatican II document, GAUDIUM ET SPES (1965)

The “dehumanization” is EXACTLY why they’re doing it. It’s power over others and the ability to leave people defenseless.

Trump is causing all the chaos. 😂

lindam174.bsky.social•2 days ago

And it was the plan all along. See project 2025 and Russell Vought.

this is abuse and the administration needs to be held accountable for every single instance. keep sharing these stories. they need to be heard.

Very sad, and many of us truly feel for you.
They are nothing but pure evil!
Stay strong

The US government is not allowing the use of “traumatic” anymore. No one can be diagnosed with PTSD anymore. Will not be recognized as a billable diagnosis. United Health wins yet again!

Grok says President Trump holds federal workers in higher regard than Putin holds his convict-soldiers and NK sent to the open no-man's lands as cannon fodder but Copilot found an interesting contrast in the comparison with federal workers fired by tens of thousands using the stroke of a pen.

So cruel.

Don't forget that every single job cut is an American livelihood turned upside-down.
You wouldn't want to be fired from your job, so why are you (Republicans) cheering on as Trump fires others?

Suicide is a viable option in the United States. Hell, it's the only way most people's kids will ever be able to get a house. Might as well give it to them while they're young.

Musk and Trump deserve prison and worse.

How come my stress leads to overeating instead of rapid weight loss?

cocorich805.bsky.social•2 days ago

This “president” NEVER cared about the military. Active duty or otherwise. The Vets that voted for that stupid fuck, played themselves probably worse than any combat they’ve been through.

And this was always Trump's plan, as articulated by his Project 2025 pointman, Russel Vought... who now directs the Office of Budget Management for Trump.

Well, America, at least... everyone tried to warn you.
