Also, there is literally no sound logic for ending the practice; removing corrupt & inhumane officers from the system benefits everyone in their jurisdiction Unless they're counting on Every 'Bad Apple' to be MAGA & willing to blindly follow orders (which may be) this = serious lapse of judgment!

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

Christofascist Evangelicals have erased from American history books that Hitler and the Nazis were far-right, nationalist, conservative Christians. Yes, really. This is common knowledge in Germany. Just ask the AfD Nazi party. They'll be happy to tell you that this is why they love Trump.

As historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat writes, authoritarians normalize cruelty to divide and conquer. “Freeing people from the idea that they should respect others as individuals with dignity and autonomy is part of the agenda.”

These people all have actual conflicts of interest that should keep them from working on any investigations like this. It's a measure of how tainted and corrupt this Justice Department is becoming and it breaks my heart. I hope it doesn't break our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Atlantic, writes: “Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government.”

Great piece by @adamserwer.bsky.social. Reminder that this isn’t the first time the federal workforce has been resegregated: Woodrow Wilson’s 1913 order to impose Jim Crow rolled back almost half a century of progress that saw Black people working at every level of the federal government.

Collective bargaining agreements are deals between workers' unions & their employers that outline working conditions, pay, etc. Felon Trump wants workers to have no rights. MAGA workers, is that what you voted for? Say NO to dictatorship. Fight back! http://dlvr.it/TJ7Fln

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

The top 1% evades $163 billion in taxes each year and many Fortune 500 companies pay an effective tax rate of 0%. President Musk is cutting 6000, mostly enforcement, jobs at the IRS because he feels the rich aren’t exploiting the system enough. Grift.

President Biden should do this because it’s the right thing to do, but a fringe benefit is that doing it may force Putin stooge Trump to undo it before the eyes of the world at a time when undoing it takes a critical negotiating piece off the table in Russia-Ukraine talks—underscoring what Trump is.

Christofascist MAGA Nazis love to pretend there's a war on Christmas. Fascists use lies as a weapon, to switch the roles of victim and attacker. Nazis pretend they're the victims of a great injustice, to justify inhumane cruelty against their victims as “righteous vengeance.”
