“For all the big talk about putting an end to “social engineering,” the Great Resegregation is itself a radical attempt to socially engineer America to be poorer, whiter, less equal, and less democratic.”

BREAKING: As Elon Musk said on X would be happening, I can now report that all federal employees are receiving an email directing them to provide “approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week.” It directs them not to send any classified information and is due by 11:59p Monday.

His brain is cooked

The Steady State's Open Letter to Those Still on Deck

Cue the extortion. Every person, organization, and company is now exposed. This harm will be generational.

I actually weirdly enough agree with this, and the CJCS being fired ranks fairly low on the list of things I find concerning about their stated plans for the DoD. The DOGE stuff, mass firings, repudiations of international alliances, and open distain for the laws of war are all markedly worse.

The Boulder International Film Festival will host the premiere of the new documentary "Apollo 1" on March 15.

Soooo lawsuit when?

Why did Trump fire CQ Brown? According to advisers, it was because of a four-minute video Brown taped after the George Floyd murder talking about his experiences as a Black pilot in the Air Force, Helene Cooper reports. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

THEY SENT IT TO ALL THE JUDGES AGAIN

“classified information, links, or attachments” is a poorly constructed and dizzyingly incomplete list.

NSF employees were unlawfully reclassified from career to probationary, and then fired. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

DON’T STOP!

Vance is such a whiny little brat.

I'm not professional enough to not respond to this with "eat my whole ass, nerd"

its really impressive how DOGE decided the best way to communicate with federal is by sounding like a phishing attempt

#OTD in 1980, the U.S. hockey team defeated the U.S.S.R in the "Miracle on Ice" during the 1980 Winter Olympics. The crew of USS Coral Sea learned of the victory when the pilot of a Tu-95 Bear radioed his congratulations to an intercepting F-4 Phantom II from the carrier.

This largely speculative piece already is not aging well, but this is probably going to come true at some point: “Musk will inevitably collide with powerful fellow appointees, who also enjoy access to the boss, & who will command the departments whose operations DOGE will supposedly be overhauling”

Everyone respond with “funded drag shows in Ecuador.”

20 years ago was 2005, not 1945 like this person imagines But even in 1945, much less 2005, no, the CNO didn't get fired because a carrier had a fender bender Fuck's sakes Halsey got 4% of his fleet and 800 people killed in a hurricane because he was an idiot and he got promoted lol
