Saying “Happy Holidays” when you really mean ”Merry Christmas” (the tree, stars, and sleigh bells are a dead giveaway away) is dumb. Either learn how to represent other traditions or just give up the pretense, ‘cause you ain’t fooling anyone.

Kash Patel's personal firing of the Pride flag-displaying employee was always absurd and unconstitutional, so I'm glad David Maltinsky is suing, but, wait.
It was a flag FLOWN BY THE FBI that was given to him BY THE FBI?! Come on.

![On October 1, 2025, after successfully completing 16 weeks of the FBI Academy's
19-week training program, Maltinsky was handed a letter terminating his employment with the
FBI. The letter was signed by Defendant Patel ("Patel"). In the letter, Patel wrote that he had
"determined that [Maltinsky] exercised poor judgment with an inappropriate display of political signage in [his] work area during [his] previous assignment at the Los Angeles Field Office." In short, Patel fired Maltinsky for displaying a pride flag at his workstation that had been flown by the FBI at the LAFO and then given by the FBI to Maltinsky.
The Defendants' discrimination against Maltinsky for engaging in protected speech
was a clear and brazen violation of federal law and the Constitution.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreid5rog4gjpv3qeneunmoyqxoesnuxac2srp3u6ppnjdxphfv7jcoe@jpeg)

This administration makes room in our military for fascists, antisemites, and racists.
Let us be clear: The Swastika and nooses are hate symbols. Period. Beyond disgusting that the Trump administration is changing policy to say otherwise.

Indiana is cutting MDwise from Medicaid, forcing 300,000 Hoosiers to change health providers by Jan 2026. That’s 1 in 6 Medicaid members — risking care gaps for chronic illness, pregnancy, and more.

The longstanding effort to dehumanize Venezuelans reached a cruel point.
We find ourselves at a new low where our gov’t doesn't just authorize blanket maritime strikes on civilians, they unapologetically post the snuff films on gov’t social media accounts to advance their morally depraved agenda.

Texas getting its gerrymander blocked while California and Virginia eliminate 8-9 Republican seats would be a stupendous, comical outcome.
"But when the Trump Administration reframed its request as a demand to redistrict congressional seats based on their racial makeup, Texas lawmakers immediately jumped on board."
