So look at that. DOGE has cost the US Treasury fucking half a trillion dollars. HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. This is your cost savings.

It’s fine. Everything is fine. (Note - article below is two weeks old, but it’s worth a repost given ongoing events) www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

What the hell is this? Intimidation, bullying, to say nothing of driving really good people out of the military and making recruiting tougher. But wait, I’m sure it’s saving money and increasing efficiency. Right? Right? www.stripes.com/branches/air...

This disturbs me on so many levels. How many lines crossed just in this example?

Follow the money and see where it goes. Nothing like buying our Congress. Musk has made the maximum allowable donation to members of Congress who support impeaching federal judges who are impeding actions taken by Trump.

💰 The Cost of Bullets 💰 The DoD spends $26.9M/week for civilian employees to write & submit weekly bullet points—that’s $1.4B per year of taxpayer💲. All for a redundant task that exists only to make our lives miserable. Is this really the best use of tax dollars? #WastefulSpending #DoDBureaucracy

However, the judge wrote that US leaders for years had argued that “[Fill in the blank] is not fully capable and will hinder combat effectiveness; [fill in the blank] will disrupt unit cohesion and so diminish military effectiveness allowing [fill in the blank] to serve will undermine training…” 1/n

This makes my blood boil every time these racists say this: “ — that anybody that says in the Department of Defense that diversity is our strength is, is frankly, incorrect,” Parnell said. “Our shared purpose and unity are our strength.

Please, can someone tell me how this increases lethality? (Also, again, is lack of lethality our problem?…) www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

How does this make us more lethal? Does it help with recruiting and retention? Asking for a friend. www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/2025/03...

We know who this is targeting. And SecBro’s comments are written like someone who never made it past the rank of major and has a massive insecurity complex. thehill.com/policy/defen...

🧵Buckle up You’ll notice this account has been scrubbed and the avi is a real person. That’s because I am actually @tjsoles.bsky.social After today’s events, I’ve decided to start fresh and non anon. @the-pied-piper.bsky.social wrote earlier on here that I probably can’t give up.

On this International Women’s Day, here’s a repost of an article from late January. In every organization I’ve been in, the inclusion of women only contributed to success & better outcomes. And there’s lots of research & anecdotes that show why. www.thebulwark.com/p/women-in-c...

We’re up early today at @votevets.org to discuss insane proposed cuts to VA, DOGE’s impact on vets across the government, and the latest on Ukraine with a panel of experts including former NSC and VA spokespeople and a vet who lost her job at FEMA. Live at 11AM ET! www.youtube.com/live/NY4ls0I...

Civil servant source says DOGE has made agencies much less efficient: "Work has ground down to a stunning degree and management is spending a significant amount of time responding & preparing to respond to the chaos incited by the never ending barrage of EOs & accompanying memos" Many make no sense🧵

Time for another SecBro quote! From that fantastic tome, The War on Warriors, I give you these pearls: “Because while America may run on Dunkin, our military runs on masculinity, properly channeled. It’s not toxic at all, it’s necessary.” (Do I even need commentary here?)

Weird feeling watching your work slowly being erased while friends and colleagues on the mil side are being silenced or fired. We're going to have to work hard in the coming years to keep at this line of research open, both for our sake and for those who need to hear it

Gutting the Minerva program means the loss of one of our last funding sources for long-term, risky, ambitious data collection on political violence. Almost impossible to replace with other sources (though we should try). Not even penny-wise, just foolish. This makes us dumber and less safe
