Unfortunately I have been fired from my job guarding the orb containing the sum of all human knowledge from the creatures that live at the borders of reality but I know how important it is to pay down our national debt.

The resignation of a federal employee must be voluntary. I highly doubt failure to respond to this email---sent on a Saturday---would be understood by any court to be a voluntary resignation.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Most fascist shit so far? Trump claiming that “in a heartbeat” he would deport US citizens to Salvadoran jails. Fucking insane. “We’re looking at that right now.”

Well that’s it; Palestinians are going to be expelled from Gaza permanently. Ethnic cleansing will be followed by Jared Condos along the coast for anyone but Gazans. American voters who chanted “Genocide Joe,” the people of Gaza hope you feel good about your fucked up choice.

It’s becoming increasingly evident that 80% of American socialists have MAGA relatives they want to stay close to. And the way they do that is by talking about the WWC and decrying civil rights as "DEI neoliberalism."

On Wednesday I was the first to report Leland Dudek was on the verge of losing his job at the Social Security Administration when he was suddenly promoted to acting commissioner by Elon Musk. Thursday I published a story with more details. I’ll let you guess if I got any credit in this Post story:

So there is a law that says the Pentagon can't just fire people willy nilly but have to carry out a review to ensure that it won't affect readiness. Why isn't there a law requiring that in every dept? How can it be legal for some rich weirdo to just take a wrecking ball to the U.S. govt?

It's so weird how the party that likes to claim their opponents are radical Maoists or Stalinists are engaging in purges of the military, the Justice Department, & dozens of other federal agencies at a scale that is far far far beyond anything any incoming administration in US history has ever done.

Double-plus-ungood. It’s not just the particular terms or even the self-censorship by federal employees that’s scary. It’s the cultivation of an atmosphere in which language itself is a threat, your own tongue may be your enemy.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...
