The oath of office doesn’t have an “if I’m really scared all bets are off” clause. It is *precisely* when it’s hard that the oath matters *most*. When breaking it is the greatest betrayal it can be.

I love that half the internet is now shit like this

The texts are BAD but i want yall to see this sentence from this legal document,

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

Every conversation about the security of Signal inevitably turns into a series of people who simply cannot imagine a protocol that doesn't involve placing trust in the server and are VERY ANGRY that the threats that only exist in their incorrect mental model aren't addressed

The top criminal prosecutor in the U.S. attorney's office in Washington quit today, citing pressure by the Trump administration to open what she viewed as an improper criminal probe of a federal contract. ca.news.yahoo.com/senior-u-pro...

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

The infrastructure of the Internet would run longer without electricity than without trans folks tbh

“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.”

If you are a VA or other federal employee in the Middle Tennessee area who has lost your job, please send me an email, [email protected], and tell me your story.

Single biggest mass firing in American history happening illegally right now for no reason other than generically making things worse. I feel like the scale of this isn’t breaking through. Genuinely maddening.

Not exaggerating when I say that the path back is going to be built on people in positions of influence regaining their sense of self-respect. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

I moved across the country, uprooting my family, for the promise of a stable future and the chance to serve the country and make weather forecasts better. I don’t even know what else to say.

The Boston Globe has a ton of new details about the rationalist murder cult www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/11/m...
