Something odd just happened—an article that had been widely published on media sites has suddenly disappeared without any retraction or explanation. Many may have come across it on Reddit.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

This also includes veterans, including, I am told, at least some fully qualified wildland firefighters with actual fire experience. Per a source with knowledge: “I want everyone to know that they are firing veterans, fully qualified and trying to serve their country again in civil service.”

If the concern was fraud and waste, why is DOGE all computer programmers and not forensic accountants? It’s like they aren’t looking to audit anything…

Elon Musk’s team is set to delve into the nation’s aviation system, with his 20-year-old staffers utilizing AI to assist the FAA in a rapid overhaul of aviation technology. However, a more practical solution would be to simply hire more workers, as the FAA is severely short-staffed.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

Dear Press, Please stop with the Gaza stuff and keep your eye on the ball. Yes, it’s stupid and outrageous, but while you are distracted, Trump is committing crimes against hard working Americans. He’s committing crimes and abusing his power. Sincerely, Maggie A Hardworking American

@altusaid.bsky.social’s humanitarian efforts promote peace, global stability, and our safety. That’s why my colleagues and I showed up at HQ to demand answers about why staff who save lives were shut out of work. This illegal shutdown threatens our global standing & makes us less safe.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Maybe tomorrow a <single journalist> might bother to find the Speaker or the Senate Majority Leader & ask why the hell they aren't acting to stop unelected people who aren't even federal employees from violating the laws Congress already passed, & to explain why this isn't a constitutional crisis? 🤷‍♂️

Sen. Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit with pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

The thing that a lot of people don't realize is that "the government" is made up of millions of individuals, most of whom do the things that make your life livable on a day-to-day basis.

I'm honestly gobsmacked by the shameless entitlement of some political journalists who have the audacity to talk down to the public about supporting major outlets while billionaire owners are practically bragging out loud on how they use their vast fortunes to shape reporting at these same outlets.

Once again asking ppl on the left to pause and think for a second if “violence is never the answer but people can only be pushed so far” is a reasoning we can maybe see used anywhere else, towards anyone else, that we might find to be really bad and, if so, do we think we should be espousing it.
