Elon is firing HUNDREDS of highly skilled workers at Bonneville Power Administration. Engineers, dispatchers, lineworkers. These positions are funded by PNW ratepayers—NOT from federal funding. It doesn't save taxpayers a DIME! Our grid is at risk because Elon doesn't have a CLUE what BPA is.

Public sector jobs pay a lot less than their private sector equivalents. A PhD who works for the CDC makes 30-50% less than one that works for Pharma. The offset to attract top talent into public service is supposed to be the job security Trump is destroying.

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.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
