“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

mmmm I see this is a very controversial idea to some but I think I agree.
And I mean, now's the time to reclaim the flag if there ever was one. The chucklefucks would rather fly various desecrations of it anyway.

magine the optics/footage if protesters were waving American flags, which fell to the ground as cops hauled them off.
My Statler/Waldorf take is that this would be a more powerful image to the current majority of Americans who support deportation.

Optics matter. Waving foreign flags reinforces the idea that ICE’s targets are, well, foreign.

Vindictive = desiring revenge.
The truth is not revenge, even when it’s salty.
Forgiveness only redeems those who confess and repent. E.g., Andrew Johnson pardoned and issued amnesty to the entire Confederacy, and that’s how we thwarted Reconstruction, birthed the Klan, and ushered in Jim Crow.

I think it already is.
But seriously. Don’t call them names. We want the door open for them when they realize the mistake they made.
We are for a better America. Not a vindictive America

A number of staff have quit, refusing to do this. Others couldn’t afford to lose their paycheck or feel they need to stay to prevent more damaging actions. And some have no spines.

If you are a federal employee, it is advised to set your social media accounts to private to prevent outside viewership, as reports suggest that loyalty screenings have begun.
