@governor.ca.gov Maybe you should start referring to Stephen Miller as "the real President". There's nothing Trump hates more than having the spotlight taken from him. 🤔

If there is one thing Trump hates more than anything, it's having the spotlight taken away from him.

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty

I imagine a lot of that buying power lies in the hands of white LGBTQIA+ ppl. A non-trivial number of that group isn't all that interested in community, or prioritize their whiteness over their queerness in their political leanings.

Ooooooh. I think crypto will crash first, but AI will have a larger impact on the economy when it crashes.

I can only imagine they fear losing the power to implement it; either by losing the midterms or some other means.

I do like this quote from the book, but it’s worth pointing out that the lead character & her allies have to do something horrible to escape what happens to them in “Parable of the Talents.”

Surviving just isn’t keeping a low profile. Sometimes it means fighting back when you’ve no other choice.

The network of Edward R. Murrow, Cronkite, Mike Wallace, Dan Rather, Connie Chung, Ed Bradley, and others is now being run by a TERF bigot.

It reflects how far standards for the media, like the audience of one they now serve, have fallen, rather than serving the purpose of journalism.
