This is incredibly smart by @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social, a lesson Democrats have to learn fast. There will be no a-ha moment for the electorate. You can't wait around for people to realize how bad it is if they'll invariably wind up blaming the Reverse Vampires. You just have to fight, right now.

New—Social Security Administration (SSA) Commissioner stepped down bc she wouldn't comply w/ DOGE. Lower-level staffer Leland Dudek replaced her. In a now-deleted LinkedIn post (pre-promotion) shared w/ me, he said he was placed on admin leave bc he "circumvented the chain of command" to help DOGE.
Disclaimer: The views expressed in this post are my own. They do not reflect the official position of the US Government or the Social Security Administration.
Colleagues:
At 4:30pm EST, my boss called to tell me I had been placed on administrative leave pending an Investigation. They want to fire me for cooperating with DOGE.
I confess. I helped DOGE understand SSA.
I mailed myself publically accessible documents and explained them DOGE.
I confess. I moved contractor money around to add data science resources to my anti-fraud team to examine Direct Deposit Fraud.
I confess. I asked where the fat was and is in our contracts so we can make the right tough choices. Lt's end the revolving doorof an executive being a fed one day, letting a fat cat contract, and then walking out the next day for that contractor.
I confess. I bullied agency executives, shared executive contact information, and circumvented the chain of command to connect DOGE with the people who get stuff done.
I confess. I work long hours. I work odd hours. I get the job done.
I confess. I talk to industry partners, advocates, and others about our challenges. I'm honest. I won't reveal PIl, FTI, or sensitive information. I educate.
I confess. I post uncomfortable truths on Linkedin. I have a lifetime of posts in me.
Everything I have ever done is in service to our country, our beneficiaries, and our agency.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

The “stop the hate” commercial featuring two celebrities who support the President who began his career by calling Mexicans rapists and whose biggest campaign donor recently gave a Hitler salute and rehired the “I was racist before it was cool” guy was….a choice.

As long as we can’t figure out how to message that this kind of thing happens under admins like Trump, they’ll continue to forget all the bad stuff just like they did this time. It’s so bleak.

In a private meeting of GOP legislators and anti-abortion activists, Republicans promised to repeal the FACE Act—the federal law prohibiting violence against clinics. Rep. Andy Biggs made their intent chillingly clear: “God demands justice." jessica.substack.com/p/god-demand...

i am constantly hearing that the left is elitist but if it is elitism to stand up for basic values of citizenship and decency against a bunch of cruel dumbasses who have no greater ambition than to tell bad jokes and hear the braying laughter of their dumbass friends, then i am an elitist

The internship program I run has a number of federal positions available. Also merit-based. Only one has canceled so far but I fear the deluge is coming.

I think this is all correct, but every media outlet said/says it was economic issues that drove people to vote for him. So, why wouldn’t/shouldn’t Dems crow about the eggs not getting cheaper? Every time someone says it was misogyny/racism, people roll their eyes.

Does anyone else get random emails, semi-regularly, that are meant for people with very similar email addresses to yours? Tonight I got an email from meant for a granddaughter with a picture of people I do not know. and this isn’t even the weirdest one I’ve gotten.

A visualization of the razor thin margin of this election. Of the 244+ million voting-eligible population: 31.5% voted for Trump 30.6% voted for Harris 37.7% did not vote Popular is not a word that would accurately describe Trump or the MAGA movement.
A pie chart showing the distribution of votes 38 percent of the voting population did not vote. 31 percent voted for Trump. 31 percent voted for Harris.
