Welp...I left bluesky for about 3 months because I was tired of all the Dem bashing. As if that's going to help anything at all.
Came back tonight to see how things were going. Same. Guess I'll go for another 4 or 5 months. Maybe people will wise up and things will change.

People at the State Department report that the Federal Women's Program is "pausing activity," and coordinators have been told, via email, to cancel all events.
Of note, this is not an employee voluntary association -- the program is codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR 1614.102).

I think we’re simultaneously realizing how much of our current system is based just on norms, and the big flaw in doing things that way.
The Kennedy Center has issued a statement in response to Trump’s deranged post about making himself the chairman.
“There is nothing in the Center’s statute that would prevent a new administration from replacing board members; however, this would be the first time such action has been taken.”

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

It's not "politicizing a tragedy" to point out the top levels of the federal government aren't functional—the three key leaders here are drunk rapist TV show host at DoD, reality TV star at DoT, and nobody at FAA—and they're doing squat except spreading the same dysfunction down the ladder.
REPORTER: Is there an acting FAA director?
DUFFY: *walks away*
(The FAA director resigned on the day of Trump's inauguration under pressure from Elon Musk)

You claim to be for the American people. Call out trump’s maniacal dismantling of our democracy. AOC & Jasmine Crockett can’t be the only ones to call him out. Every one of you have to do it too. Stop playing with the bully.

Why aren’t a lot more Democrats standing up LOUDLY and FORCEFULLY to Trump and his agenda? At the very least, they should be holding daily press conferences talking about rising egg, coffee and gas prices; Trump’s blatantly illegal executive orders; and how he’s destroying America’s global standing.

Is anybody actually surprised with anything trump is doing?
He's dismantling the United States government.
He's doing exactly the same thing Hitler and other dictators did.
He doesn't care if its legal, if people dislike it, if a judge rules against him.
Who's going to stop him?
No one.

Forgive me if this is petty but the next account I’d like to surpass here on Bluesky is CNN.
They helped normalize Trump at every turn and did nothing to help tell the truth about Kamala. Time to show them what we think.
