This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

This is bad enough but it will get worse once Bhattacharya is there. His malicious administrative fuckery will be more targeted & more effective. Get ready for grants conditioned upon ideological purity tests, loyalty oaths, & institutional compliance. Blacklists & retribution for dissenters.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

Yeah. During a presidential town hall, RFK Jr. said he would be creating “wellness farms” to send children and adults to in order to “organic farm” for “3-4 years” in order to ween them off opioids, Adderall, and antidepressants. He is talking about work camps.
