On Feb 7th, #Trump sacked the
head of #NARA, the agency that maintains the ofcl texts of the nation’s laws, & whose motto is “the written word endures.”

"What I have tried to say over and over again to those people in my writing is that your silence will not save you. Palestinian rights, trans rights, women’s rights: these are not separate issues. Unless you are a Maga supporter at the top of the food chain, the Trump administration will be coming for you too."

"A presidential campaign built on the Big Lie, and incorporating lots of little lies, is intolerant of images, voices or evidence at odds with its worldview. It has only one vision of America in mind, much of it fanciful, and so it will erase anyone not part of that narrative."
But if it's good my 401(k)….
Many of us voted to purge others of us and I suspect the purges are just starting.

"An NIH mural featuring Anthony Fauci was removed.
More systematically, it is also the removal of women, persons of color, and trans people, following executive orders around DEI and gender. Here, the removals signal the end one form of representation that valued inclusiveness and a broader understanding and acknowledgment of people whose stories were not always told."

"Right now, the federal government is engaged in a dramatic purging of visual representations of American history and its current workforce. Some of this is a Stalinist removal of former officials.

Another travesty!
"Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told Congress in a letter Thursday that the USPS aims to eliminate 10,000 jobs using a voluntary early retirement program over the next 30 days to reduce costs at the financially strapped U.S. Postal Service."

In Musk’s mind, DC needed to be debugged, hard-forked, sunset. His strike teams of young engineers would burrow into the govt’s byzantine bureaucratic systems & delete what they saw fit -help Trump slash the budget to the bone. He turned to those around the table: Can you believe we were spending taxpayer
on condoms? They shook their heads. #Musk looked back at his phone. What if we cut all fed grants to NGOs?

"This chart below is misinformation caused by Semafor misreading its original source.
USAID was 40% of total aid going to Somalia, not 40% of Somali GDP. In reality, USAID spending was closer to 3% of Somali GDP."

This isn't just #disinformation by Trump's enablers (on X, posted by W Chamberlain of the Article 3 Project) -it's discrediting & lying about #USAID. Before USAID was dismantled, the agency provided life-saving aid around the world.

Nearly half of the department is expected to beeliminated.
