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.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

NEW: I just met @georgetakei.bsky.social and he has a very important message for everyone:

Sen Cassidy: “Black lives matter only if you count them”

Lock him up. Seize his assets.

Trust me, bro.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

I come from the right. It’s the cruelty. For the right, the cruelty is the point. The cruelty sells.

Pitch for a new spy movie: a CIA agent spends years getting close to a terrorist suspect then just before he gets the crucial piece of evidence he’s fired and replaced with a teenager who doesn’t speak any foreign languages but does have a lot of followers on X. Everybody dies.

Corrupt billionaire immigrant Musk and his surrogates have officially illegally gained access to Medicare/Medicaid payment systems. He is who should be arrested for espionage and deported.

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

I’m going to keep hitting this until they figure it out, because they are it…the Democrats are THE ONLY political opposition. They had three months to prepare for these acts. And they seem surprised and flat footed.

Donald Trump announces completely unapologetically that he’s going to displace all the Palestinians, bulldoze Gaza, occupy it and turn it into Fucking Mar-a-Lago and my feed is full of my fellow Arab of Americans blaming it on…. Biden and Harris. I can’t. I just fucking can’t.

The Supreme Court hasn’t helped. But we are here because of the narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy of too large a segment of the American population and its elected representatives.

This isn't a fight that will be settled in the halls of Congress. The oligarchs own GOP Congress. This is a fight that will be settled in the streets. Democrats, Republicans, disillusioned MAGA & independents locking arms. Give GOP Congress something to fear more than the oligarchs. The people.

Selective outrage of the right.

This is your daily reminder that both Merrick Garland and Mitch McConnell can go fuck themselves forever and ever.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Me right now

Measles, mumps and rubella like this post.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

This is correct.

It wild to me that DOGE would actually send “contracts” with shoddy and suspect legal language to federal career attorneys that even non-lawyers would recognize as bullshit.

JUST IN: The FBI Agents Association, repped by @markzaidesq.bsky.social, has filed a second lawsuit on behalf of agents who sayd their inforation may be publicly disseminated and used as part of a purge. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Yes coz when all the kids have polio, you won't care about the autism...

Eyeing? For fucks sake. If you want to hold your position stop being scared of your own goddamn shadow.

Sorry, but I am not listening to "Defund the Department of Education!" from people who believe dinosaurs were on a sky fairy's ark!
