So if you get that OPM email, my only advice is to recognize (1) it is asking you to give them an excuse to fire you (2) it will be processed by an LLM. If you want to leave, good luck to you, thank you for your service. If not, reply in a way designed to not give their LLM bot those free excuses.

It’s been wild to see so many headlines about the firings at the Joint Chiefs of Staff and none of them explicitly saying “Trump fired the one Black person and the one woman so he could have an all white male Joint Chiefs”

The foundational principle of contemporary American conservatism is that it is better to be unabashedly evil than to be a flawed human being trying to be good but always falling short of perfection. It is a fundamentally anti-human philosophy.

This is going to sound mean & elitist & the meritocracy is bullshit but whatever: so many of the people they want to traumatize busted their asses & sacrificed & succeeded against big odds to carve out careers in government that don't pay well but help keep this place up & running...

This micro aggression IS psychological warfare and force people to resign. Trump and Musk need to explain to the American public how much time and money they have wasted on EO/DOGE non-core work related items just indulged the whims of self indulged, wannabe dictator!

DOGE has sent out an email that is unlawful. DOGE has the sent that email out using a private server, so it is getting classified as spam. DOGE is sending the email to judicial employees (AGAIN), an entirely separate branch. Please explain to me how Elon Musk is a genius?

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

Just a reminder that the neither the U.S. Digital Service (which has been converted into DOGE) nor OPM has any legal authority to direct every single federal government employee to give them a job summary. Literally no such authority at all.

I don't even want to think about the cybersecurity and national security implications of having every federal government employee be required to send an email detailing their work to a single entity. That seems like a good way to purge anyone with good security hygiene and/or operation security.

My guess: Musk wanted the email to say that, someone convinced him otherwise, and then he was like fuck it I’ll tweet it anyway. (This is a very Trumpian sequence.)

DOGE has been sending their mass emails from a misconfigured server, causing DOGE emails to fail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) validation. This means that agencies are probably marking DOGE emails as spam.

This is Musk's work and he should be explaining it to all of us. Or better yet, just shutting everything down and getting out of DC. What a wonderful silence that would bring.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

Who could have guessed that the former leader of the Proud Boys—convicted of sedition because of January 6th—would, after Trump pardoned him, start to harass the hero cops of January 6th? Who could ever have guessed it? (This went down at the Principles First conference in D.C.)
