How about we make this country what we've always said it is? Parent, federal worker (for now), anti-racist.

Americans take so much for granted, including the relative lack of corruption in politics up to now. Trump and Elon are the most visible, but it is going to permeate everything.
The Oval Office meeting convened by President Trump sought to figure out a way to eliminate roadblocks to the planned merger of the PGA Tour and Saudi-backed LIV Golf. His participation was a brazen conflict of interest, former prosecutors and ethics lawyers say — one of a series in recent weeks.
Trump Pushes Business Interests in Golf, Mideast and New York as Conflicts Abound
Norms recognized for decades in Washington by both parties no longer appear to apply to the Trump White House, former prosecutors and ethics lawyers say.

Obviously this is most stupid because the documents aren't about racial justice or other progressive ideas. But also it must be said -- diversity, equity, and inclusion ARE GOOD. It is not acceptable to just accept that DEI is bad! It is NOT.
1. OSHA has ordered the digital and physical destruction of 18 publications on workplace safety practices, according to an email obtained by Popular Information.
The email says the publications have been removed from the web and tells staff that physical copies should be "disposed of or recycled"

These are the ads about Elon Musk that the Washington Post refused to run.
The paper offered NO EXPLANATION.
This is the problem with outlets that are CONTROLLED BY BILLIONAIRES focused on ingratiating themselves with Trump.

How is it cost-cutting to fire CFPB people who bring in more than they cost? Same with IRS? And none of this is well thought out -- it's just a buzz saw, destroying government functions for destruction's sake.

Such a brutal week for feds, especially probationary feds like me. As hard as the stress is, in the end the job itself isn't the worst of it. Seeing science, education, and the rule of law gutted is actually worse.

My son takes Koselugo for a brain tumor. The tumor is getting smaller, and unlike when he was on chemo, he's not immunocompromised and he doesn't feel like garbage. Also funded by research at the National Cancer Institute, part of the NIH.
Just looking at my bottle of Tagrisso, a cancer drug that literally *reduced death by half* in people like me. The product of intense clinical trials and meticulous science. The trials were supported by the National Cancer Institute, a part of NIH.

Learned a few days ago that my job is relatively safe for now. A huge relief. When I paid my mortgage last week it felt like some kind of prayer.

I want people to understand this.
For many of them, democracy ended when Obama was elected twice and Black Lives Matter rose to prominence.
This is them “fixing” a system that felt broken and newly unsafe to them.

What we all seemingly failed to understand is just how many of our "countrymen" were perfectly willing to resort to treason to end democracy. And all in service of a convicted felon and lifelong conman who wasn't even very good at it.
