"Authoritarians want us to feel hopeless and helpless. It’s up to us to show them that we will not submit quietly and that we believe in struggle and collective action. Like Sen. Booker, each one of us can do something, using the spaces and means we have, to meet this moment with the same resilient and resolute spirit he showed on the Senate floor."

Lucid · What Sen. Booker’s Speech Teaches Us About Effective Resistance StrategyBy Ruth Ben-Ghiat

"The GOP has long given up on winning over voters by demonstrating that it knows best how to make the government work for people; as I’ve noted previously, the notion that there are even 'Republican lawmakers' anymore is a quaint myth."

Here is the human toll of this inhuman behavior

My partner was one of the ‘lucky’ ones in HHS and sent this out on our family chat:“It was a massacre today at HHS. I survived but many didn’t. I am devastated, we all are reeling from the loss of so many good people we worked with, knew and relied on. We lost entire divisions. We cried and huddled and tried to support each other but with little success. We, as in FDA, will not be able to protect public health. Period. I am sorry.”I’m gutted for EVERYONE who didn’t deserve this and I just want to rage….Edit: realized I made it about her when it needs to be about everyone.

Administration for Children and Families Was Gutted Today - Entire Regions GONE.

Massacre at ACF today. Regions 1,2,5,9, and 10 are gone. Just gone. Entire programs, divisions, and teams eliminated from HQ. ACF serves the most vulnerable children in the country, this is CATASTROPHIC. Media needs to step up and cover this. Children and families WILL suffer.

RIF’d Today. I’m numb………………..

This is surreal. Years of service obliterated by evil people who are absolutely clueless how the government really works. I took a 20K pay cut to work for the government after getting tired of being laid off in the private sector again and again. I don’t know whether to take the severance or retire ugh. I can’t even think straight. I’ll look at all the documents attached to the email I received today, tomorrow. I really wish this was an April fools joke. 😢

"People begin mobilizing, organizing, and protesting. Donald Trump, who threatened to unleash the National Guard and military on 'the enemy from within,' makes good on his threat and uses the protests as an excuse to crack down on his enemies. He promotes conspiracies about 'the deep state; threatening to take down the government. He declares Martial Law and cancels elections for the sake of national security."

"Let’s imagine the economy tanks. People lose their jobs, Social Security, and benefits. The government becomes dysfunctional and stagnant. There’s a health crisis due to rising cases of measles, bird flu, and a resurgence of a new COVID variant. America becomes isolated as our allies turn from us and tourism tanks."

"They would perhaps contribute to a sense of agency, rather than powerlessness. Walter Lippman once lamented how the press was 'a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision.' We need to keep our searchlights trained long enough to reveal what really matters."

"The federal worker; the trans soldier; the cancer patient whose clinical trial was halted. Just as importantly, what if we stuck with them, after the news cycle has moved on? I think we’d find stories that surprise us—of tragedy and despair, certainly, but also of resilience and fortitude."

Maybe it's finally time to ban Fox News from Govt installations

The Fox News franchise and the audience they attract have a dangerously loose relationship with reality. Allowing this network to continue to be displayed in government facilities, while it continues to carry the water for the inept leaders who put the entirety of government and government contracts and public services into a tailspin, with Fox influencing the terrible situation, seems especially cruel and irresponsible now.

I was on a call with appointees on Friday. They're laughing about the layoffs.

One made a crack about the Department of Education having plenty of money now. The second, talking to/about HHS said "Run it by your comms team next week, if you have a comms team next week.". Literally laughing at the destruction they are causing. Fuck these people.

They are going to fuck up #socialsecurity by rewriting the software to make it less functional. To then try to pull the wool over the #workingclass as a means to place social security on the bargaining table.

Remember this is the last Bastion for anyone making under $300k a year to get a lick of their labor given to the #federalgovernment

If it comes to the bargaining table they will push to disband it, and what will happen to all those trillions of dollars? It won't be in your wallet, or any of your loved ones, or even neighbors.

That money will be used to make the #onepercent richer.

We have to stop letting our distractions that categories whether it be race, religion, gender, sexuality, and even political affiliation.

Together we are strong and the #oligarchs need us more that we need them. The real fight is the #classwar

"Across human history, fascism has been imposed upon democracy mostly in one of two ways. First, by brute force—a military coup, that sort of thing. Second, a bit more stealthily, and legally—through legislation, executive decrees, and court decisions that hand more power to the leader."
