I am inundated with messages from federal workers who are feeling frantic, furious and fed up after receiving Musk’s email and reading his threatening X post. The psychological warfare is the point.

hey if you’re sad/stressed but want something easy to make, get a box of funfetti or party rainbow (my preference) cake mix & a can of cream soda. pour in a bowl, quickly mix. bake as directed. they’re so easy, taste good, just 2 ingredients (3 if you buy a tub of icing, which you should)

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s obsession with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

this is what nearly every autism organization has been raising research dollars for. they spend immense amounts of money marketing the idea of “curing autism” as the only solution for something they claim ruins parents’ lives and is worse than childhood cancer or kidnapping. it’s 100% pro-eugenics.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Amazing ego-deflating moment yesterday at lunch. Staff member comes over. ‘I think we have one of your books in the office.’ Me (smugly flattered): that’s entirely possible. He: yes, you left it here last time you visited.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

America is already way better at death--by guns, cars, and more--than are other developed nations. I guess this is where MAGA decided to maintain our leadership.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings
