When OMB head Russ Vought talks about deliberate efforts to put federal employees "in trauma" and make them quit their jobs, he's talking about people like Michelle, recently fired by Musk/Trump. www.sfgate.com/california/a...

A political conference in Washington, DC, that bills itself as the alternative to the Trump-aligned CPAC was evacuated after a death threat made against several of its speakers who have been critical of President Donald Trump.

Every time I think thing can’t get worse, the appointees can’t get worse, Trump says ‘hold my beer.’ I am stunned, even by Trump standards, that Dan Bongino, a man even Fox got rid of, is now the new deputy director of the FBI. We are so effed.

It is well past the time to realize that Russell Vought, Elon, and the entire GOP are fucking psychopaths and if they want to inflict trauma on federal bureaucrats than the opposition should respond in kind

Thousands of people marched in DC in solidarity with Ukraine and against impunity by oligarchs like Trump and Putin. They gathered outside the Russian embassy. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #USprotests #DCprotests #StandWithUkraine

This is a direct reference to the Proud Boys who use the gold wreath FAFO logo. I fully believe Elon is going to utilize vigilante violence to enforce things. You should take this seriously.

On 22 February 1943, three young Germans, members of the White Rose Society -- Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl, and Christoph Probst -- were guillotined by the Nazis for distributing leaflets speaking out against the crimes of the Third Reich. Their bravery, and their cause, will not be forgotten.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I don’t see enough discussion of the amazing “approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished” language, tbh. This reads like a first draft on someone’s Notes app got sent to every federal employee.

I don’t know why this is hard for folks to understand. The layoffs aren’t just about probationary employees. They are going beyond that. It won’t stop. It’s all about making agencies non-functional.

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.

Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

It is a coup. I don't know what to tell people. It's a coup. Like, people should be in the streets right now by the millions. They're not. That's a problem. And I hope Americans wake up quickly. Because the danger only rises by the day.

Confused...they’re convicts, right? Insurrectionists? No particular singing chops? A choir only when they had nothing else to do? And they’re going to the Kennedy Center? This isn’t Kid Rock performing at an Inaugural Ball, this’d be like Triumph the Insult Comic Dog tap-dancing at Carter’s funeral.

So the President has abruptly fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Charles Q. Brown Jr., and is replacing him with a retired three star general, Dan Caine. This portends a future grave crisis as the President attempts to restructure the military into one personally loyal to him.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

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.
