Here we go again. Get out the masks and stay out of crowds of people or birds. So encouraging to think RFK jr will probably be in charge of a pandemic. He can just ask old Pig Eyes Trump how he handled it the last time..."Let them use bleach." We are in deep, deep bird do-do!!

And they'll totally not screw things up due to inexperience because they are inherently qualified by virtue of not being Black. Wow, this "meritocracy" thing is awesome. Also there will be no more FEMA. Yeah, we're freaking doomed.

The nominees, purges of officials, & ignoring the law & regulations are not only power moves but moves to kick dirt in our faces. The faces of those who have taken that dirt and built the institutions, rules, & laws allowing society to move forward. We're going back to the huckster McKinley era.

I will neither forgive nor will I forget. These stupid idiots who are too lazy to think have unleashed decades of destruction on our lives and our democracy. They all deserve to be lined up against a wall and "egged!"

13/ As the week ended, Federal employees were already being instructed to snitch on their fellow workers in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. The tangible fear of marginalised communities is difficult to capture in words - and that's by design.

11/ Lastly, the State Department implemented a "One Flag Policy" this week, barring U.S. outposts at home and embassies abroad from flying any other flag but the Stars and Stripes, thereby ending the practice of flying Pride and Black Lives Matter flags.

10/ Another repealed a rule established by former President Joe Biden that allows transgender people to openly serve in the U.S. military, completely banning Trans+ people in one swoop.

9/ One executive order rolled back the Equal Employment Opportunity Act, which has been a bedrock of equal opportunity protections since the 1960s. It was brought in at the height of the civil rights movement and was a big blow to white supremacists and segregationists

3/ The most significant of these orders for transgender people was a declaration the US will only recognise "two sexes, male and female". It will affect policies, civil rights protections, federal funding, prisons, and official documents like passports.

2/ Topline
President Donald Trump came to power this week by implementing sweeping executive orders. They put in place the rhetoric and ideology he'd promised during the election campaign, demonising LGBTQIA+ people, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices, and immigrants.

2/ Examples of what is now allowed:
The next time you're called mentally ill for being gay or trans on Insta, Threads or Facebook, it won’t violate the platform's policies.
You can also say ‘A trans woman isn't a woman, it's a pathetic confused man’.
