Science, art, music. I sometimes post original art and photography, articles with commentary, also some reposts from talented photographers, artists, and scientists. I don't like politics, I didn't want it on my feed, but I cannot stand by idly and watch.

They'll all get vaccinated in secret, like Trump and his family did (we only know because someone leaked it) and will not care what happens to the rest of us.
If thousands died off, they would simply buy up the real estate and call it a win.

Firings continue, and seem to be especially prevalent on Friday afternoon or evening of each week.
WSFA12 has been compiling a list of DOGE-related federal firings to date.

Kamen made some statements about the firings on LinkedIn and expressed concern about the security of sensitive personal information in the VA computer systems now being managed by DOGE.

If you read through the list of DOGE affiliates, you will see that many are current or former Musk employees (or relatives of Musk employees), plus some associated with the Trump administration.

A tentative list of #DOGE affiliates.
Note, #Musk is technically not the head of DOGE according to a White House written declaration. However, he might as well be considered the de facto leader.

Firing and re-hiring WASTES FEDERAL MONEY.
Arbitrary firing (as is happening) is NOT merit based.
Telling fired employees with stellar performance records that they're being fired for poor performance is CRUEL especially when their access to their own records is cut off when they read the email.

That doesn't leave much retirement does it? So much for grandpa getting a change to RV around the country or play with the grandkids. The last couple of years of a person's life are often spent in a nursing home.

It's also costing a lot of money and a lot of unnecessary pain.

Trump will treat this "deal" the same way as his marriage oaths and his oath to the Constitution.

Ed #Coristine is now said to be working with #CISA.
Coristine was fired from a company, Path Networks, after leaking internal secrets to a competitor. Placing Coristine in CISA means he is now inside an agency with U.S. #intelligence on worldwide cyber threats.

And while this was happening, Elon's young child that he had with Grimes (Claire Bouchet) had a medical crisis and Grimes was trying to contact him, unwillingly messaging him on X since he doesn't appear to want to interact with her otherwise.
Grimes is also Mom to X who rides on Elon's shoulders.

We buy from local farmers where chickens run free.
Unfortunately, not everyone lives near farms.

Beautiful, spectacular image.
But what is going to happen to it? Trump and DOGE have fired many national parks and forestry workers.
Yosemite says they may have to close five popular sites this summer.
I've always dreamed of seeing Bryce Canyon. Now I'm worried for its future.
