Lol Rep Stephanie Bice of Oklahoma got yelled at too

Great piece by @adamserwer.bsky.social. Reminder that this isn’t the first time the federal workforce has been resegregated: Woodrow Wilson’s 1913 order to impose Jim Crow rolled back almost half a century of progress that saw Black people working at every level of the federal government.

The other “the current government/Donelon Trusk are the Joker from TDK specifically” analogy is that whatever is going on right now is them burning the money and a bunch of social conservatives who thought they were getting what they want are the mob

If George Lucas returned to Star Wars he would absolutely name an evil corporate politician Donelon Trusk

hey, look at this. read it, reskeet this, like this, and do it as well. it's about trans people and passports. take it seriously. thank you!

man it's so rich to be told that leftists "warned libs about this" when the entire past year was libs screaming about how dangerous it was going to be to reelect trump and leftists replying "yeah i don't care"

none of these people have any concept of duty or decorum or service, all of them are absolute rat bastards who are unqualified to hold any job and should be ejected from any group of respectable americans.

No matter how preposterous, the Times headlines nearly every Trump story as if it were written by the White House comms team.

This actually fits right into the Republican worldview that it’s somebody else’s job (usually the liberals’) to protect them from themselves. Like I think they really do believe this

Take the heat to GOP reps. If advocacy groups seem resistant, press them on why they only want to protest Dems.

This is key to understanding the building outrage & backlash that extends way beyond the hurt of those fired. Firing people for no reason is brutal & loathsome but the even larger overall offense is wiping out all the fired people’s jobs with them, all the purposes & needs & value those jobs serve.

NEW: Trump's pick to run the WH Faith Office, Paula White-Cain, has drawn blowback from a subset of conservative Calvinists influential among some in Trump's cabinet. Speaking to me, Doug Wilson called her an “erratic woman preacher who has been all over the map.” religionnews.com/2025/02/21/t...

At least Bezos had the giant glass balls to go into space.

As bad economic news piles up, Republicans are laser-focused on tax cuts for their billionaire buddies. Zero focus on inflation, housing costs. qz.com/dow-plunges-...

"it is a party's job to earn your vote" rather than "participating in the government of a republic is a citizen's duty" is just decadence.

We were being lectured about how ridiculous it was to compare the "anti-DEI" push to resegregation literally just yesterday.

They want war crimes. I do not know why the media will not say this. They say they want war crimes. Heggy got his job because he supported war crimes on Fox News. They think it is good to hunt children for sport.

again: "ICE operates by Vampire Rules" is an objectively true and also funny statement

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...

Never thought we'd see someone wrest away from J. Edgar Hoover the title of Biggest Asshole to Ever Lead the FBI, but looks like we did it!

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

big implications for public universities and non-profits

Doomerism is fun, but it's wrong. www.msn.com/en-us/news/n...

Only when it is to protect fascists

So much winning

Makes you think.

broke: dems will flip the house in 2026 woke: dems flip the house in 2025

"farmers are apoplectic. In Ohio, they’re stressed about USAID contracts and USDA cost-sharing investments. They held up their end. The government made promises. Now their family farms and livelihoods are on the line. Billions of dollars are at stake. It’s all being held hostage by Musk and Trump."

Is bluesky more like holding court in a radicalized, kooky cult or is ejecting an acquaintance from your chateau in rural France for the sin of disrespecting Bari Weiss more like holding court in a radicalized, kooky cult?

Donald Trump could fuck up a wet dream.

This is a great development. In the end the case probably still goes away, one way or another. But Judge Ho won't just rubber stamp the corrupt deal and wants to fully explore the options. Also, you've gotta love the citation to the Michael Flynn case - that will drive Trump world crazy.

One of the things we really need to re-learn is that things aren't going to happen as quickly as you want. That doesn't mean nobody's doing anything, it means that some things actually take time to build and do.

You are correct, your leading reply is also spot on for a good starting point. Black folk will let y'all take the reins this go around though.

It’s getting insulting how much they’re talking about this. Everyone can read the budgets they’re proposing, they increase deficits

As the money guys continue to realize that Trump is going to fuck up the economy, I do wonder exactly when they start pushing back, and how. Because they will. They like money.

dark forest theory but applied to civilizations which are highly interdependent and have a sophisticated cross cultural understanding of each other

The Republican campaign against trans people is just radicalizing me further on the topic, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. Not just on the matter of rights and policy but also on my personal feelings about gender

Big deal. Big deal, big deal. Ho is a former ACLU lawyer. Clement is among the anointed in the conservative legal world. I doubt Ho will eventually refuse the DOJ's request. But this will dig deeper into what happened and extend the process. The choice of Clement is important.
