"I will be resigning after this semester from my tenured position at West Point after 13 years on the faculty. I cannot tolerate these changes, which prevent me from doing my job responsibly. I am ashamed to be associated with the academy in its current form."

Librarian of Congress just fired

bsky.app/profile/morelle.house this coming but happened sooner than expected. Curious how this plays out in court. Anyone have insights as to legality?

The only reason for all that we are going through: cruelty

RTO, end of AWS, illegal firings, threats of RIF, and all the other abysmal acts this administration is doing to feds has one purpose: cruelty.They are destroying lives, families losing it all, health issues, you name it. All to cause pain. There’s no efficiency or gains for the taxpayer.Reaching a new low everyday. It’s hard to stay afloat…

We want to take a moment to talk about tariffs because honestly, we didn’t realize how bad it was getting until we started comparing notes with friends and family. Stores across the country are already raising prices, and some of the increases are steep.

And, yes, Trump is not running a "successful dictatorship". Not yet, and I not ever. Yes, I am trusting that the US Military are not as corrupt as the Department of Justice. (Mind you, ICE IS as corrupt as the Department of Justice...)

Continued thread

But then I always thought that "the right to bear arms" would be utterly useless in fighting against tyranny anyway -- because a successful dictatorship is always backed by the military, and the military are ALWAYS going to have better weapons than civilians.
The NRA are, and have always been delusional in that regard.

The huge irony that the "Right to Bear Arms" so sacred to conservatives in the USA, in order to "fight against tyranny" is absolutely useless in fighting against the current tyranny. And that the thing which is being the most useful in fighting against the current tyranny is a namby-pamby thing called the Judicial System (all those wimpy lawyers and judges, y'know).
