Screenwriting pro-tip: put a specific date in your script so that once a year the internet meme machine will promote your movie for free. (It helps if the rest of your script is as brilliant as Hot Fuzz, Miss Congeniality, or Mean Girls)

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just fired Joint Chiefs Chairman CQ Brown—no reason given. That’s another highly qualified African American official ousted, only to be replaced by a white guy. This is what "America First" looks like? So sad.

x.com/bluestein/st... Fed worker salary is 4% of fed budget Keeping feds is LESS expensive than firing/rehiring and losing services Probationary workers are not "duplicitous" They're setting up the argument "we had to cut medicaid cause we didn't fire enough feds" Why doesn't Elon do more with less
