Trump Is Gutting The State Department And Dragging Diplomats ‘Through The Mud’ Secretary of State Marco Rubio "succeeded [in creating] an environment where people wake up and don’t want to come in to work," a still-serving State Department official told HuffPost.

I no longer feel safe on social media from here in the U.S. under MAGA fascism… this will be my FINAL political post. If you are a foreigner please do NOT come here… To my international friends, please remember 75,017,613 people (48.3% of voters) tried to stop this dark slide into authoritarianism.

Fired State Dept bureaucrats reportedly using their regime change skills to sabotage Trump Fired government bureaucrats with regime change experience abroad are reportedly applying those skills domestically against President Trump's administration.

Fascism is clearly here: This article is a veiled threat to warn fired and former State Department and USAID officials who worked on human rights, democracy, and governance - “Don’t criticize increasing authoritarianism in the U.S. or else you too could be charged with sedition and treason.” 😢

Today we march, from the Atlantic / Gulf of Mexico, to the Pacific… from our Northern borders with our Canadian cousins, to the Rio Grande and our partners in the South. We reject MAGA hate, fascism, and xeonophobia! We will not give up our Democracy, rule of law, and Constitutional rights! 🇺🇸 🗽

What a lovely day! Elon Musk is leaving Government and a Federal Court ruled Trump doesn’t have the constitutional authority to issue tariffs under his made up “State of Emergency.” This isn’t over, and it will go to the Supreme Court, but let’s at least relish this moment while it lasts.

LTG - an amazing diplomat and such a warm human!

To quote: “The homegrowns are next," Trump told Bukele in the Oval Office “You gotta build about five more places. ... It's not big enough." To be clear, Trump intends to send U.S. citizens to overseas concentration camps with little to no due process or judicial review.😱 #RejectMAGA #ResistFascism

My custom designed protest poster arrived… Ready for April 19th! 🏔️ 🐻 🌲 #RejectMAGA #ResistFascism #MakeAmericaIntelligentAgain #RockyMountainHigh

I don’t think I can handle watching any more of this MAGA fascist pep rally… the lies, hate, and ignorance on display are literally making me sick to my stomach. (Made it over an hour but am turning this Mussolini nut job and his disgusting enablers off.) 😡 #MakeAmericaIntelligentAgain #FightFascism

Sorry Donny, but there is no such thing as “illegal protestors” - I think this little post just gave a hell of a lot of people even more reason to excercise their constitutional right under the First Amendment- (Despite what Elon thinks, this isn’t apartheid South Africa - doesn’t work that way.)

Trump again raises idea of running for an unconstitutional third term The suggestion followed a stretch of days in which Trump referred to himself as a king and quoted a dictator in suggesting that he was immune from following laws.
