Most of us lost our jobs due to injustice. What we call whistleblowing is really just QA; a last line of defense. To tell the truth in the fed, they force you to defend yourself against your entire agency. No attorney is provided. First thing your agency does is smear your reputation with lies.
Junta hunts the streets, arresting and kidnapping young men as conscripts. Generals who stole ballots now steal bodies. Trump-era U.S. lifted sanctions—sugar for tyrants, gall for the people. Democracy drowned; conscripts bleed its ghost. #Myanmar #Resist

Gotta love Netflix.
Supporting ICE or Trump’s 2025 Nobel bid betrays the prize’s purpose. The Peace Prize must honor human rights and genuine reconciliation, not coercion or political diplomacy that erodes dignity and deepens division.
#fightfascism GET HIM OUT NOW.
Eric Lendrum = neo n*zi. He should be fired, but times are not normal Get. Him OUT.
🇺🇸 Join fired USAID staff and HIV activists on Tuesday Sept 2 2027 at 11 AM ET at the White House to defend PEPFAR the US program that has saved 25M lives. Dr Atul Gawande former USAID Global Health Bureau head will speak.
Masked ICE raids are terrorizing DC streets. Neighbors refuse silence. They film, shout, collect names, and walk kids to school. Mutual aid is real safety when leaders stay quiet. This article shows a city defending itself against occupation.

This was worth the listen.
This is state cruelty, plain and brutal.
He calls himself out as a liar. "Anyone who tells you that slashing foreign aid is a benefit is a liar."
It’s time for a nationwide strike!
www.dw.com/en/hundreds-... Another fawning Trump sycophant fanning the flames of hate and teaching the world to hate the American people, while thowing people and families out of work.
youtube.com/watch?v=mkml... This what red state farmers wanted? USAID is the only source of income for some farmers
Trump gutted USAID and cut funding for healthcare and food subsidies for children around the world. What will Christian voters say about this catastrophe in 2026?
The illegal dismantling of USAID is a crime against humanity that will hurt millions
As Marco Rubio shuts down USAID, CNN find clips and a letter of him praising USAID
DHS is now a megaphone for fascism. Nazi memes from a federal office prove this government is not protecting Americans, it is waging war on them. Cruelty is the point, hate is the brand, and history will remember the collaborators.
Please watch, scream in frustration (necessarily cathartic) - then share.
This is a must watch.

Reading this, I feel the floor drop out. The pageantry of freedom is gone; the republic is occupied by its own president. Tanks where families walk, citizens vanished without charge—this is not democracy fraying at the edges, it is democracy devoured from within.
Flying hoagies beat federal indictments. Pity democracy can’t dodge as well.

🔥Those who have served this country in many ways carry the discipline and imagination we need. 🇺🇸 Bayly Winder is proof: a public servant who turns service into vision, bringing fresh ideas and solid work to a nation that cannot afford small men or smaller dreams. Amazing news for a Friday !
I see an ambassador job in his future. 🤯
We celebrate Lincoln for ending slavery but the real unstoppable force was the millions who walked off plantations and joined the Union fight. Their general strike made emancipation a fact on the ground and forced the nation to reckon with freedom.
The look on this guy’s face is screaming “I’m a monster” through his cold, dead eyes
Netflix just picked up another customer.
Joni Ernst quits before Iowa voters can throw her out. A hog-castrating slogan turned Senate stooge, she leaves no legacy but cowardice. Another fraud wrapped in the flag, fleeing the stage reeking of cowardice and corporate feed. Good riddance.
ICE calls this propaganda math. It’s not about safety, it’s about branding immigrants as criminals to bully cities into compliance. When government agencies push memes like this, they’re not protecting the public, they’re training us to accept collective punishment.

So long as they aren’t propping up an authoritarian state that tramples rights and sends federal troops into American cities, there’s at least some shred of saving grace left.

🇺🇸 We the people have the right to govern ourselves, to determine what happens to us. Democracy means freedom from domination, not living under the thumb of the powerful. Our collective action is how we keep faith with that promise.
I'm a new fan of NETFLIX!
Andy Mahler, banjo in hand, turned neighbors into guardians of the Hoosier National Forest. A friend, a teacher, a fighter. He is gone at 74, but the living woods still sing with his defiance.
Andy Mahler, beloved friend and relentless defender of America’s public lands, is gone. He sang the forests alive, fought for their survival, and showed us that joy and resistance can live in the same breath.
Trump has thirty four felonies and still gets a shiny Marshal badge Ordinary people lose jobs for one strike He collects souvenirs from cops America is the place where the crook gets the badge and the rest of us get the cuffs.
Turned fury into a horror poster: Tremendous Horror Show. Because some monsters wear suits, sell pseudoscience, and spread hate. The real terror isn’t in theaters, it’s already creeping into our communities. #Resist

A CDC officer is dead after a gunman, fueled by anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, fired 500 rounds into the agency. Disinformation kills. And with RFK Jr. at HHS dismantling vaccine safeguards, the lies are now coming from the very top of government.

“Thank you for your service to Ethiopia” honors those who built lasting change. USAID and partners cut HIV deaths by over half, fought malaria with 50M nets, expanded education for millions of children, and delivered life-saving humanitarian aid where it was needed most.
Russ Vought said he wanted civil servants “traumatically affected” and to lose the will to work. Now Rubio puts him in charge of closing out USAID. This is not reform. It is the final nail in the coffin of American generosity and America’s standing in the world.
Marco Rubio 🤮 boasts about handing USAID to Russ Vought to shut it down, calling American aid “off the rails.” This is not savings. It is betrayal. Families in crisis lose food and water while Rubio and Vought laugh. American generosity is being dismantled for politics.
Courage is not quiet compliance. It’s the handwritten sign pressed against the glass, daring to speak truth from inside the machinery. In every era, someone risks the small act of defiance that echoes louder than silence.

Disinformation is not abstract. It tears families apart. This essay follows a son calling his mother through grief, cancer and lies, showing how love can endure collapse and how democracy, like health, survives only through daily care and persistence.
American Rot.
So vile.
This is what delusion sounds like, unfiltered—from WARREN DAVIDSON, Ohio’s MAGA congressman.
Thanked for “unleashing” law enforcement. Great. Unleashed on The People. Who raised these feckless, political nihilistic man children?
Where’s that dude with horns and face paint cosplay?
Camo-clad blowhards, America’s self-styled defenders: armed to the teeth, courage at the cankles, waiting to defend democracy online by attacking pronouns—unless they get hired by ICE to squash democracy.

Daily embarrassment

What A fucking clown show… So embarrassing.
Trump’s pocket rescission cancels $4.9B in aid, illegally sidestepping Congress. This is not fiscal restraint but an authoritarian playbook erasing the power of the purse, weakening democracy, and putting USAID and peacekeeping at risk.
An activist has started using artificial intelligence to identify ICE agents beneath their masks — a use of the technology sparking new political concerns over AI-powered surveillance. Can Washington do anything about it?
imagine
American Rot.
Even Susan Collins has declared this "a clear violation of the law." Now we wait to see what she/Congress will do about it.
Surely it says something that this role is going to the guy who wanted to put federal workers "into trauma."

$15B in USAID funds are frozen after a DC court gave Trump a temporary win. Congress approved the money for health, development & disaster relief, but the court backed vast executive power to block it. Aid may vanish by Sept 30. This is not only about aid policy, it is about Congress’s power.

Trump vaporizes five billion in aid with the smirk of a man who knows nobody will stop him. It is kleptocracy in broad daylight, the machinery of empire turned inward, feeding corruption while the world starves.
Another example of failed leadership from Marco Rubio.

When we close doors to refugees, we betray both faith and freedom. Over 30,000 Christians found safety here last year—and millions more still wait. America must not abandon its promise. Welcoming the stranger is not charity, it is our moral duty and our strength.
Totally devastating and inexcusable. Proud of DC residence who stand up and be heard.
