The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

FYI this is one of the rare but existing risks to most estrogen meds rn. I hope one day our sisters can take it for granted that they will live past 40
A really sad follow-up to this story — Alexis Erlinmeyer, one of the trans federal intelligence workers who was fired, has died of a pulmonary embolism. She was 31. Her family is burying her under her deadname, so friends are fundraising for an accurate memorial: www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-...
NEW—In late Feb, Chris Rufo published leaked chats between queer/trans employees at US intel agencies. Then Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said she’d fire all involved.
I spoke to chat members who were fired, are on admin leave, and who kept their jobs about the new lavender scare:

No matter where we go from here I cannot believe we, as DSA, in under 10 years of reconstitution, elected a guy to govern the most important city in the world that says in his inaugural speech: “I was elected as a democratic socialist and I will govern as a democratic socialist.”

The American working class is, maybe, fairly mobilized. You are going to need a citation for 'most combative' in the west, and 'most organized' just can not be true. At least, not across all definitions so that it is self evident.
