Firing someone purely for their political affiliation is illegal and is a violation of free speech.

Tweet from The Bulwark: “Q: ‘How many layoffs have you authorized?’ Trump: ‘A lot. It will be Democrat oriented… They should be Democrat oriented. It will be a lot and we’ll announce the numbers over the next couple of days... Many of them will be fired.’”
Below, a photo shows Donald Trump speaking to reporters in the Oval Office surrounded by staff and press.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Diversity is our strength, no matter what racist, bigoted Republicans say.

Real Americans embrace diversity, equity and inclusion.

Real Americans reject Trump and his white nationalist cronies.

Trump is bad, project 2025 is bad and the people who love America, the real patriots reject both.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Seriously need more of this. Fact check em hard and direct. Shut em down when they go off the rails.

Stop giving them screen time just so they can peddle lies and warp truths.

Stop rewarding the lies with additional talk time.

Marvel Rivals has not been running well on my PC after the 4.5 update. Was fine prior but now it is full of random hangups, stutters, and poor texture streaming.

I've dropped everything down to the lowest settings.

Even waiting for all the shaders to load first does not improve it.

This is an exact encapsulation of why I moved to Bluesky.

No amount of handwringing in the Atlantic about how I owe some eternal Promethean suffering to the discourse is going to make me stay on a site I hate, that stopped doing anything for me professionally years ago.

Well – no. Bluesky may or may not be, as one centre-right friend who felt unwelcome put it, “self-righteous island”. But the idea that’s why we went is nonsense. That I’ve largely stopped posting on a site that’s done more to shape my career and social circle than the rest of the internet combined is less about avoiding rival opinions (I love arguing with people who are wrong!) than with the fact the site simply became unusable. It stopped generating the things (good jokes, interesting debate, clicks) I wanted; it became extremely good at generating the things (racists, pornbots, racist pornbots) I did not.
