All those people who told us not to worry about Projecy 2025 😒 White House says layoffs of federal workers have begun, with few details www.npr.org/2025/10/10/n...

White House says 'substantial' layoffs of federal workers have begun, with few details
The Trump administration says it has started the process of issuing reduction-in-force notices to federal employees. It's not clear how many agencies are affected or how many people.

Business people have always wanted full control of the US. But, it took Trump and his angry horde of ignorant haters to get it done. Now, with their clown dictator installed, they will inflict pain and suffering on working people in America.

As we resist tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we build courage. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. Let's continue to build solidarity by peacefully opposing our tyrant-in-chief at No Kings Day 2.0 on October 18.

Keep standing up to Trump’s ongoing attacks on the First Amendment. Keep pressuring media outlets and corporations to protect the free press. Collectively, WE have power. Giving in to tyranny only invites more of it.

If Abbott’s looking for someone to arrest, he should look in mirror. A stooge for Trump, a leading sheep in Maga,he started a redistricting battle. So when Dems stand up to his garbage… basically firing 5 Texas Dem members of Congress, he’s trying to arrest them like a dictator would. Weak move.

Trump calls DC “dirty and disgusting“. He’s confused. What’s disgusting is his treatment of predator Maxwell who procured children and raped them.No matter his deflection this issue will remain as there are survivors & witnesses. I spent many days in DC with family & we enjoyed its beauty & history.

Between March and June, Israel allowed just 56,000 tonnes of food to enter the territory, less than a quarter of Gaza’s minimum needs for that period … Even if every bag of UN flour had been collected and handed out … starvation was inevitable. Palestinians did not have enough to eat.”
