Always remember they're going after trans people not because trans people became too public, not because trans people asked for too much, not because trans people had too many genders, not because trans people were annoying online. They're going after trans people because they lost to gay people.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I think what we're going to see is the conservative numbers in Canada drop because people are looking at the destruction that Trump is unleashing and Canadians are thinking, 'If this is what MAGA looks like, there's no damn way we're going to vote for it in Canada.'

It's so explicitly clear that this is propaganda to manufacture consent to purge all trans employees from the federal government. This is a campaign of eradication.

i think everyone needs to stop framing whats going on as “bending the knee” and what’s really happening which is “they’re finally feel free to do what they’ve always wanted to do”

The "campus free speech" and "cancel culture" panics were obvious efforts to seed the ground for a huge expansion of left-wing censorship and right-wing propaganda. That effort appears to have worked.

now would be a good time for liberals to make a massive investment in progressive media. decades of relying on the ny times/wapo/ap/cnn has been a failure and they're now more right-wing than ever. everything is turning into a miniature fox news and liberals dont want to put money into this.

Democrats are out with messaging that the Republicans didn’t play fair, which, first of all, grow the fuck up, and, second of all, Republicans just voted to kill Americans by stripping them of healthcare and food. Maybe talk about that. People will die because of the Medicaid and SNAP cuts.

Elon has tweeted over 10 times about the Rufo smear piece on a intelligence community ERG on intelink. They're creating the manufactured consent to purge LGBTQ and especially trans employees from not just the intelligence communities but the entire federal government. They'll use ERGs to do so.

Van Hollen: "European allies & others around the world who believe in freedom & democracy are wondering if this is just rhetoric or a real shift. My warning to them is I think this is reality. I think Trump is much closer ideologically to Putin & other autocrats than he is to democratic countries."

Morning Joe bent the knee to Trump fascism & Joy Reid demanded justice against Trump fascism. Morning Joe whitewashed Netanyahu’s genocide of Palestinians & Joy Reid called out Netanyahu’s genocide. MSNBC protected Morning Joe & fired Joy Reid. I’m just not qwhite sure why.🤔

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...

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

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...

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

My U.S. Rep, a Democrat, held a town hall and explicitly said that THE REASON she was speaking out louder now was because she got so many calls and emails. DEFINITELY YELL AT THEM. It’s the only language they speak. It’s literally how they gauge public opinion.
