For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body.

A union representing workers across dozens of federal agencies sued the Trump administration late Monday over an executive order stripping many career civil servants of protections designed to insulate them from political pressure.

The lawsuit was filed by the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) shortly after President Donald Trump signed an order that reinstated, with some amendments, the "Schedule F" measure he implemented at the tail end of his first White House term—an action that former President Joe Biden reversed.

It’s going to be a weird and unstable next few years.

Yep, he thrives on it. I recommend only reading further about stuff it's concrete and factual, look for the helpers and try to be one of the helpers for your community.

My plan is to get the fuck out of society and only interact as needed until the plurality wake the fuck up and do something.

I gave all my effort trying to prevent this.. I canvassed, I worked with local orgs, I was boots on the ground talking to people against my own mental health and now I’m just going to retire from society as best I can and hope for an awakening..

I just can’t anymore. I’m curious what my retired fed worker will say.. she’s always been an “I got mine” sort.. she’s my step-dads girlfriend.. I bet she still won’t see a problem with it, because well fuck it she’s retired on a nice pension and doesn’t have dependents or anything. But she’s made clear she doesn’t have anyone to take care of her and… I told her I’d do it.

But she needs to put me in her will (I didn’t inherit a dime from my mother when she does in my early 20s because of my step dad, and I won’t inherit from him because I’m not his next of kin and his gf shares all accounts, so if she doesn’t cough up my inheritance when her ass croaks, ima be super pissed…). I won’t take care of what might as well be a conservative without direct benefits. And she has a decent estate, no heirs.
