Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

DOGE is just a rebranding of the US digital service. It has nothing to do with efficiency. It is a political monitoring station that installs political commissars into agencies that have traditionally been above politics.

It would be great if you stopped playing along with their branding.
Trump is doing what you do after you acquire a company. Crazy I know. But reality. The Dir of NIH should reach out to DOGE and offer to bring them in to remove inefficiencies.

There are always some and the Director know what they are.

DOGE gets a win. NIH gets back to work.
Hi Mark, how do you feel about cancer research being canceled.

White supremacy is fundamentally a system of plunder, taking wages, opportunities, & resources from marginalized groups. But as is hopefully clear by now, the predator class has never stopped with targeted communities. Eventually, whoever you are, the fascists will come for you, too.
If ICE wanted to pick up undocumented workers, they could go agricultural fields anywhere in the country, but that would piss off right-wing agribusiness.

It seems to me that this all is most about inflicting state terror on the weak and marginalized while freezing in place white supremacy

Big Companies in 2020: "We are committed to learning & growing. Here is our plan to support diversity and inclusion in our company."

The same big companies in January of 2025: "WHEW! GLAD THAT'S OVER!" *Tosses diversity plan and staff out*

In 1953, Eisenhower signed an order banning queer people from working in the government. Agencies
encouraged employees to report colleagues they suspected of being queer based on how they acted, spoke, dressed, or had masculine/feminine characteristics like wide jaws in women or small hands in men
“One administration employee who received the email urging employees to report their colleagues said it made them feel as though they were being recruited into the Gestapo. Another employee told The Times that the directive to report colleagues made him feel as if he was living in the Soviet Union.”

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

I wonder how many folks in journalism or out there in America realize that Elon Musk is so proud of his two Nazi salutes that the video of him giving them is currently his pinned tweet on Twitter.

He knows exactly what he did—and he wants to take the face of every American and shove it in his s***.

ICE is already in Portland and Salem. Please remember, we have phones with cameras and a right to document what is happening in our communities. Document, film, warn residents, resist.

Sorry to do video form today but the dogs got into the trash and for my ADHD self it’s easier to record a quick vid than to write it out while I clean. Elon was raised by a lover of techno fascism and eugenics who was kicked out of Canada. That salute was absolutely on purpose & you saw what you saw
