When you strip away humanity

When you strip away humanity
My return to “Seeking First” after a months long silence. Writing is my way of staying grounded in the real and the true. And for me, it is to document that I will not comply. #WritingIsResistance

So.. to recap … government waste and fraud was caused by transnational gangs and organized crime syndicates, never by ordinary Americans or undocumented residents. Our government was kept underfunded/staffed and couldn’t upgrade systems. Doge is not targeting this fraud. No one is. Still. #60Minutes

Pondering.. if the goal is to reduce the cost of government .. when do the US taxpayers benefit from what we continue to pay for? What is the longterm goal for our money? What is our ROI (return on investment)? Personally, I’m looking for some universal things. Lots of universal things.

New, from me: you were told that the threats to free speech came from wokeness. Some compared it to Maoist China.
Now we are witnessing government power being used to silence dissent and censor ideas. Now we know what real society-wide chilling effects look like. 🧵

While some were boycotting #MSNBC, #TheReidOut with @joyannreid.bsky.social was the one news show that I continued watching live every.single.night. Why? Because Joy was always the truth teller and the early warning signal. Her followers and viewers knew what was coming, why ⬇️

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003.

Elon is not prepared for the national meltdown that awaits him when people can't get their Medicaid coverage or social security checks. He is poking a sleeping dragon. Watch @therickwilson.bsky.social and @mayaonstage.bsky.social on this week's episode of The Breakdown here: bit.ly/4b1MYv5

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.
They make sure we have clean water.
They protect us from financial fraud.
They provide healthcare to our communities.
They make our government actually work for people.
Do not forget this.

Don't let Trump flood your zone. Stay focused. Keep your eye on what this corrupt regime is really doing — looting the government to line their own pockets with massive tax cuts and the ability to steer more federal contracts their way.

“There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives. Malcolm knew this. Martin Luther King, Jr. knew this. Our struggles are particular, but we are not alone. We are not perfect, but we are stronger and wiser than the sum of our errors.”
