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.

Democrats can’t sustain this kind of rhetoric without action. At the federal level they need to hold a 24-7 vigil at the Capitol until the coup ends. At the state level they could seize federal assets until court orders are being followed. We’re already outside the regular constitutional order.

counterpoint: no they aren't, they're going to come up with increasingly intricate and convoluted explanations for why things aren't lining up with their expectations of reality. Stop waiting for people to "come to their senses", you're not going to get to say "I told you so" to anyone

It’s safe to say there is a major continuity between the politics of the tech oligarchs and the fundamentals currently driving the software industry; that is to say, they are in search of infinite free rent at the expense of everyone else, up to and including the very people who make it possible.

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that refraining from provoking the authoritarian is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.
