I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

The highest ranking trans person in the federal government was fired last week amid the broader purge. It was certainly political and targeted. 19thnews.org/2025/02/amy-...

NEW: The Trump administration has locked Minnesota out of $200 million in federal food and climate grants awarded last summer. Projects breaking ground this year were depending on that money. minnesotareformer.com/2025/02/21/t...

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

they put in the newspaper that he got bitches

My one small hope is Americas penchant for saying “fuck you no” a lot

BREAKING: The Associated Press sues three Trump administration officials over access to presidential events, citing the First Amendment.

i love working as a director at FDA/EPA and only firing MAGA vets to comply with DOGE directives

People sign up for tech so they can make lots of money what risk are you talking about

My feeling is that the plurality that voted for Trump is diminishing, and furthermore, the percentage of those people that are willing to fight for that dipshit is even smaller

(Bernie voice) no, Mr Trump, there is nothing wrong with wanting to make a solo ambient black metal album

Alex Garland Presents Civil War 2: Dark Woke Rising

Reacher Season 3 and Andor Season 2. Can you feel the vibe shift? #DarkWokeRising

NYC sucks in many ways but I am going to see live in the next few months: Mogwai Deafheaven Khanate Emperor

Do you like being able to have a doctor appointment by logging on to your phone or computer? Do you like avoiding the commute to the hospital or clinic and not having to take a half day off work for a single appointment? Trump wants to eliminate that option

"it is a party's job to earn your vote" rather than "participating in the government of a republic is a citizen's duty" is just decadence.

“We’ll see you in court.” Gov. Janet Mills is a badass for this.

I was excited to hear that a federal colleague was about to start using my work to help salmon conservation. They got fired today.

“I just wanna say trans people are beautiful. We are never going to stop existing. I’m never gonna stop being trans, a letter on a passport can’t change that, and fuck this administration.”

The mealy-mouthed NYT article about Bannon’s salute does provide us with one new piece of info. This morning, YET ANOTHER speaker gave a Nazi salute on the CPAC stage, although he was less bold & said Musk’s “my heart goes out to you” as he did it, for the thinnest pretense of plausible deniability.

lmao, jesus

Excellent news

once this interregnum is over i'm signing a low 6 figure contract to publish a book with Verso interrogating what "MAGA Communism" was all about

The Washington Post reports that Trump is preparing to issue an illegal order to fire the Postal Service board & place the agency under control of the Commerce Dept. Trump’s nominee to head the dept, Howard Lutnick, has encouraged Trump to privatize USPS. 🧵 1/9 www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Cool update: Israeli news is reporting that suspects in last night’s bus bombing attack have been arrested and they’re all Israeli. One of them is an IDF officer. (Sources: t.me/N12chat/120061, t.me/N12chat/120073)

Herr Hitler has made another provocative gesture!

It was funny seeing some ostensibly left people drop it in posts recently. Oooh they gave you permission big boy, so brave

Once upon a time (let's say 2012) even a minor pundit using the r-word generated a week of critical stories, bipartisan pushback, Special Olympics using its undeniable oomph to push back in public fora, adults with Down syndrome on NPR, and more.

Shouldn't be a problem once we get the RFK ADHD Farming Camps set up

Predictably the ADL is silent on Bannon's Nazi salute. The main reason is self-preservation-- they're keeping their head down to preserve access to the Trump White House around pro-Israel antisemitism policy. Keeping their 'eyes on the prize' as Greenblatt condescendingly

Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA: - Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies - Air traffic control support staff - Employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes - Staffers who medically clear pilots to fly www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The country is helping its “economically powerful brother from the north.”…”If they impose a tax in our free zones, it’ll screw us, I don’t think they’ll do it, thank God ... love is repaid with love ... 200 will come, we treat them well and they will leave.” -Costa Rican Pres Rodrigo Chaves

NEW: A regional FEMA chief of staff took Elon Musk's Fork in the Road offer. He has proof of receipt. But they didn't honor it. Instead, they fired him 13 days later. Now, this retired Navy captain is speaking out. www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...

how many controversial salutes are there. i can only think of the one but admittedly i'm not a salute scholar

The @nytimes.com changed the story and has now added this info after I caught them last night. This is why I screenshot these stories. There was no editors note added nor did they point out that a stealth edit was made. h/t @shoq.bsky.social

It's such a crazy coincidence that so many people in the Trump administration keep accidentally making what is definitely not a Nazi salute

This is whos responsible for my mom getting fired for low performance last week btw. This is who ordered all those "low performance" emails. This fucking guy.

I'm sick of tipping!!!
