The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. 

The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. 

Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

Fuck every news outlet. Fuck every billionaire. Fuck everyone who voted for him. Fuck everyone who didn’t vote. Fuck every lefty Jill Stein/Gaza asshole. Fuck all white men. Fuck you.

This group of gangsters have disgraced America.

This could happen because Hitler had been agitating and lying for about ten years. The normal thing gets replaced by the abnormal thing. Don't think this couldn't happen in your country. #Trump

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

Who the fuck does Trump think he is? Telling Ukraine about its territorial concessions without involving it in talks. Telling Europe about its responsibilities without providing any assistance.

In response to headline “Cruz-Led Investigation Uncovers $2 Billion in Woke DEI Grants at NSF, Releases Full Database” I want to re-emphasize that all these grants were public record and written in response to public solicitations supporting DEI content. No “uncovering” or “releasing” was done here

Ah, yes. I see the anti-vaxxers are moving onto #Bluesky. Be warned: this medical historian will not go down the rabbit hole with your anti-science nonsense. If you come at me, I will block you. This is not X. No one owes you engagement. The world is on fire, and I am protecting my energy right now.

When vaccines blunted their impact, we forgot the fear of the disease, and in our comfort, people began to forget why we needed the vaccines in the first place.
