These stories amount to "the left was so annoying about pronouns or liberals made people feel so guilty about plastic straws they had no choice but to get on board with the second coming of the Third Reich and the destruction of the planet."

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

"The Black mentor class is being fired, not just on television but throughout America." And that's why it will never be enough to "express sympathies" and send "thoughts and prayers". If you want to make a difference, hire, platform, support, and put on Black folks. Anything less is cheap talk.

I have seen almost nothing assessing the scale of the impact of the wrecking of the USPS, if it goes through. But it would mess with voting by mail, prescriptions by mail, so many small and large businesses, how a lot of daily life now runs. Good for the NALC workers.

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

I owe the television part of my career to @joyannreid.bsky.social, as do so many other Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her. And that's why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.

Did you know NOAA has 6 line offices, one of which is the NWS? Another is the Office of Marine and Aviation Operations which include the famous Hurricane Hunters and a fleet of ships that explore and chart the uncharted waters of the world, piloted and sailed by active duty NOAA officers.

Please remember this regime loves trial balloons. They’ll announce some crazy, truly horrifying plan to either A) distract from something even more horrible they’re planning to do B) see how much actual resistance there is to their insanity Keep making noise & pushing back. It does work.

New, from me: DOGE's mass firings of probationary employees are a masterclass in how not to manage public organizations. They don’t have a plan to fix what they are breaking because they don’t understand or care about the damage they are doing. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/doge-misma...

They want obedience or resignation. @radiofreetom.bsky.social: "But like Trump, Musk also appears to just detest people who work in public service. Both men resent govt agencies for 2 important reasons: They do not own these public institutions, & the employees do not instantly obey their orders."

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts. NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms. This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

I think it should be made clear at this point: If you're a federal employee, you should consider your work devices bugged. If you've logged into personal stuff on those devices, you should consider suspending or deleting the accounts you accessed.
