History: “Eventually the incompetent fascists invariably lose power and then society recovers in a new and stronger way” Me: “Oh, cool, so what has to happen for the spell to be broken??” History: “mmmm…well, that part is less encouraging.”

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA. Elon’s companies get billions from defense contracts. He’s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

I've typed and deleted many post drafts because I don't know what to say. Because words just cannot capture how heartbroken, angry, and helpless I feel right now watching these brilliant, hardworking colleagues and friends senselessly lose their jobs. I'm crying with you.

Four FEMA officials were fired for not following illegal orders to withhold spending. The White House is saying of judicial decisions: "These unlawful injunctions are a continuation of the weaponization of justice against President Trump." These are not warning signs. This is happening now.
