Honestly iconic that she uses “lgbtq” which the administration itself banned in attempts to erase trans & queer ppl. We live rent free in her head — and we’ll always exist, no matter how hard they try.
Leavitt: "Electricians, plumbers -- we need more of those in our country, and less LGBTQ graduate majors from Harvard University. And that's what this administration's position is."

2) Question their fascist orders. If necessary, feign ignorance. If you cant refuse a fascist order outright, bungle it. Misunderstand it.
3) Delay implementation. Never carry out fascist orders faster than you would your real work. Make excuses.

Three ways to resist fascist orders:
1) Dont obey in advance, make them give the fascist order. Ask for it in writing, and if they won't, then you write down their facism and send it back for confirmation. CC and BCC their orders widely.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.
Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

US v. Skrmetti is a test of how much SCOTUS will allow restrictions on healthcare — because affirming care, abortion, IVF, and birth control are all on the line. Everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, everywhere.
