I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

For real. 🥺
For the rest of my life, I will never understand how a country full of people busting their asses, working paycheck to paycheck, allow the fucking richest guy on Earth to call them "parasites" while calling the Social Security we contributed to our entire lives "a Ponzi scheme."
Un-fucking-real.
Un-fucking-real.

Federal workers make essential government services like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the VA, and so much more - work for working people.
They’re members of our communities, neighbors, friends, or even family. We appreciate their hard work for our country ✊

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

As someone who works for the largest federal employee union, this is very good advice.
If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

Has anyone actually read the complete list of people Trump already pardoned & their crimes? I have. Every damn one of them. GTFOH w/your both sideisms & false moral equivalencies. People are sick of that old BS. I’m so tired of our hand-wringing weakness & refuse to participate.
