I post often about topics that can trigger anger in people, however I want to make one thing abundantly clear:

*I neither support nor condone violence rooted in anger.*

Defense of yourself or another person in a judicious manner is fine, but please don't jeopardize yourselves. Be safe.
You know those moments where you know something exists but you never thought you'd ever see it?

The text of the bill that swept through congress to release the Epstein files is surprisingly tight and allows almost no room for loopholes for the white house to take advantage of.

No wonder Johnson's throwing a fit.

Good. Burn everyone involved

Enough iterations of this "sane" order happen and people gloss over them.

This one has an additional line of instruction to start letting contractors go

Today is a day that for many will be freeing, some will be scary, and yet more will remain silent due to the state of their environment.

You are all seen.

You are all heard.

You are all beautiful souls.

This is the most heavy-handed threat possible in this situation. People are going to lose their jobs, not from senators trying to be fair to the American populace, but instead due to spite from one person who doesn’t like to be told "no."

This ruling is god-awful - SCOTUS apparently is okay with racial profiling. Next we're going to see federal ID requirements and likely the SAVE act go the same way.

So, essentially,
1 - all federal employees are banned from transgender care
2 - any insurance that holds contracts with the government is banned from providing transgender care
3 - the ACA requirement for insurance companies at-large to provide transgender care as a base item has been stripped

We told everyone when women's right to choose was stripped. We begged when trans rights started disappearing. Screamed it when immigrants started being taken from their homes.

The right doesn't care. they never cared. they think they'll be the exception that gets ignored when its their turn.

People being persecuted for their identity.

People being sent to live in squalor in literal concentration camps.

Families barely able to afford food.

But... a ballroom. A ballroom. That the average citizen will never be able to see the inside of.

If you protest voted against Harris then congrats on your moral decision. Now we have:

Anti LGBTQ+ everywhere
Anti women's autonomy

So the federal workspace is about to be flooded with monotheistic recruiting efforts - primarily Christian and Hebrew if the allowed examples in the memos appendix provide any clue as to that preference which ill bet doesnt exist until a Wiccan or muslim display is put on a desk.
