You can say a more fascist, unconstitutional statement, but you'd be going miles out of your way to do so.

A great America is an educated America. The people driving these actions all had (or had opportunities for) a good education. They're trying to close the door behind them. Education provides tools. They don't want you to have access to the tools they did.

VA schools get around 10% of their budgets from the Dept of Ed. It's a billions dollar loss. Gov Youngkin and VA are not ready for that financial hit. www.vpm.org/news/2025-03...

They won't let us shred the Social Security Administration, so I guess I have to put it in a box, fill that box with cement and push it off a bridge. What can I say, my hands are tied! Again, there's a high likelihood that could kill people.

Trump just denied the Musk/China story. Then a few minutes later the WSJ confirmed it. Any guesses who’s governing the country right now?

If all you've ever been told is how crazy or evil or bad AOC is, please watch this. If you think someone might be affected by hearing her actual words, share this. She's talking about the America 99% of us want. Get sick, don't go broke. Speak freely. 40 hrs should get you by.

IANAL, but my take is that: you can't be something you aren't and can't do something unless you could, but you weren't, so you still can't. Which I think might sum up all of DOGE's legal position?

Systems don't matter for these folks, and neither do standards. It's the core of why they can't be trusted. Anything they say one day is just as likely to be reversed the next if it serves their interest of the moment.

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

This is old-fashioned, garden variety white collar corruption. But since it doesn't involve a sexual affair, gender issues, or brown people, the rubes won't understand it as such.

10,000 from 640,000 may not seem like a lot, but where and who they are matters a TON. Rural areas losing their carriers can be devastating to an area and high-tempo seasons like holidays or elections can be overwhelmingly negatively affected. They serve our country. unionrayo.com/en/usps-job-...

This is it. It's not about erasing DEI(A) efforts, it's about erasing stories they don't like from people they don't like. They're trying to hide the accomplishments of people who aren't primarily straight, white men.

There a couple of con schemes like this: sell an idea that's almost or straight-up too good to be true, rush through any objections or concerns (always at the victim's expense), and get them so hooked that the pressure of changing course feels worse than admitting what's happening isn't working.
