The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Being a journalist, I get the stupidest PR emails in my inbox. The latest is titled “which kardashian mansion is the most expensive to rent” No one was asking this, no one cares, but I know some rubbish magazine will publish it because the Kardashian name sells stories

Doublethink: "To be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out ... to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy..."

Brian Gibbs had no clue Friday would be his last day at his dream job. The education technician park ranger at Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa reported to work, only to be terminated on despite receiving an exceptional performance evaluation in the fall.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

so infuriating when ppl claim “two biological sexes” bc as someone with a masters degree in genetic counseling, THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS!!!!!! biology is NOT only two sexes. sex does NOT equal gender. intersex people & people with sex chromosome differences exist. trans people exist.

It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races. This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.

They're asserting racism doesn't exist anymore and that people should be blind to race, specifically so that when they act racist anyway they can attack you for pointing out their behavior is tied to race, accusing you of "seeing race" = accusing you of racism.
