Bill Kristol is doing more to defend trans people than the Democratic party. Schumer and Jeffries haven't said a damn thing.

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

Hochul’s move here is profoundly racist and dehumanizing. Defining Palestinian studies as fundamentally antisemitic means defining Palestinians as something to be erased. It is genocidal. This is also an unacceptable attack on academic freedom. The governor should have no say in faculty hiring.

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it. This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.

Fascinating watching this. Seeing similar "ignore this shit" directives at State & Dept of the Navy (for civilian employees). Wild that DOJ seems odd man out. Mind boggling seeing department countermand instructions being allowed if not directed by POTUS and treating almost like insider threat.
