Drill down to the Reddit that quote came from bc it’s worth your time. Then read the next post
“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

This is like a bank robber getting to fire the cops and disable the alarms just before he strolls into the bank lobby.

Anyone who thinks we need a fascist dictator bescause somewhere a boy wants to be a girl or an immigrant wants to mow their lawn has confused others business with their own, private conduct with public interest, exclusivity with prosperity, and probably their own ass with a hole in the ground.

President Trump campaigned on lowering costs. But he’s letting billionaire Elon Musk and Project 2025 Architect Russ Vought kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

If they succeed, CEOs on Wall Street will once again be free to cheat you out of your savings.

How about “No taxation without representation?“ The Musk regime is claiming the right to take our money without heeding the laws made by our elected representatives.
OK, "Reclaim the Treasury Payment System" isn't a great rallying cry for getting the masses out in the streets. But if you're in the media and not writing about Musk's ongoing coup and not screaming, "Fire!," then you are doing it wrong

One reason Donald Trump is going after USAID: Polls show Americans think foreign aid is about a quarter of the US budget.

It's actually ~1%.

Across the board there's a disconnect between actual gov't spending and perceptions of gov't spending.

For a moment, silence fell over New Orleans’ St. Louis Cathedral as the audience felt history unfold. Edmond Dédé’s Morgiane—the first full-length opera by a Black American—was finally performed.

It is absolutely beautiful.

Edmond Dédé's 1887 magnum opus "Morgiane"—billed as "the most important opera never heard"—will finally get its premiere after languishing in obscurity for more than a century

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

It’s the job of every congressional democrat to grind the gears of government to a stop.

Right now. Block everything. Slow walk every committee. Call every vote. Filibuster every post office name change.

State Dems need to build parallel institutions to protect the people at home. GET TO WORK.

Do you remember learning about Nazi Germany when you were a kid?
Did you, like me, wonder how the German Citizens (farmers, office workers, car salesmen, etc) allowed it to happen?
Did you imagine what your reaction would be if presented with Nazis in America?
How are you living up to your ideal?

HELL YES:

Michael Steele delivers a genius game-plan to absolutely DERAIL the GOP.

Democrats need to STOP helping Republicans. “Let them choke on (their majority).”

His words were BLUNT:

“Y'all need to chill on this, all this kumbaya partisan bi-partisan crap.” He added.
