A reporter asked if Trump would order the removal of trans flags in DC. Trump says he wouldn't oppose it but says he could get around lawsuits by arguing it incites violence.

The reporter follows up by asking if he would label trans people as a domestic terror threat to ban the trans flag.

Unconstitutional. Appropriations bills are laws. If the president is not bound by them, he can make laws by fiat and is acting like a dictator. No Democrat can vote for any appropriations or debt ceiling bill while this is happening.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Everywhere I’ve ever been, you could always just walk in whatever bathrooms there were. It’s not like they card at the door. The social stigma against being a creepy pest is all that ever stopped you, and that doesn’t change because trans people exist and need to use the bathroom sometimes.

‘Move fast and break things’ only works for people who have never had to clean up after themselves.

It is truly fucking wild how the introductory thesis of this argument is, "As we all know, men will find any loophole they can to be sex criminals and degenerates. My primary source on this is me, a degenerate."

The Trump Administration Said These Aid Programs Saved Lives. It Canceled Them Anyway. The axing of some 10,000 programs has consigned untold numbers of children and refugees to death, officials say. Documents and interviews reveal that the State Department appears to have made the cuts...

This was always about rich people not wanting to pay taxes

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.

This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.

What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

F.D.A. Cancels Meeting of Vaccine Experts Scheduled to Advise on Flu Shots (Gift Article) The cancellation plays into fears among scientists who worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use his position as health secretary to sow doubts about vaccines.

With the next FDA vaccine meeting cancelled, concerns are rising about whether flu vaccine will be ready on time for next year. w/ @sherylnyt.bsky.social

The stakes are high: 86 kids and 19,000 adults died so far this flu season.

This is going to kill so many people for no reason.

Last month, I talked to Mark Dimondstein, the president of the American Postal Workers Union. He warned me that this could happen following Trump's efforts to privatize USPS during his first term. This not only threatens workers—people rely on USPS for essentials like medicine.

Socialists need to be participating in more of these. Comrades reading books and wishing “oh if only the masses of normie liberals would rise up against the billionaires…” they are!! Pay attention!!

“I just need to get through this week” he says for the 67th week in a row.

I cannot stress enough that the American people protested, donated, subscribed, and voted in record numbers in 2018 and 2020 and then those institutions that they propped up in opposition to Trump sought to accommodate him instead. And here we are.

Please do so here!

counterpoint: fuck that! if you voted for Trump eat shit!

www.cincinnati.com Opinion: We must have compassion for those on the losing side of presidential election Harris voters will consider a Trump win cataclysmic; Trump voters will see a Harris victor...

I also firmly believe that we need to crush these people’s spirits into blood and earth, not be *nice* to the amoral supporters of an aspirational gore-soaked dictator

fellas, the women are Up to Something

Ohio sheriff's lieutenant who declared he "won't help Democrats" issues apology, blames medication Lt. John Rodgers said on Facebook that he would not help Democrats and would require proof of who a person voted for before providing them aid.

Sorry I did stochastic domestic terrorism and treason-level election interference, says cop, but in my defense I was on drugs at the time
