That statute is bullshit! Just because a corporation has some federal contacts doesn’t mean they need or deserve extra federal protection.

We gotta joke about things sometimes, or we’ll roll over and give up in despair.

Or, this is an attempt to reduce the number of cogs that can/will freeze if asked to do immoral things. Like, the higher the number of people who are running the military, the more people there are that can stop you from the inside if your orders are Nazi-ish.

Thank you for posting this. I hope this letter goes down in history as a crucial orientation point through this authoritarian regime.

I noticed there had been a few Germans caught by our immigration crooks, and wondered if Germany was going to say something about it. I’m honestly shocked that they aren’t more angry about it, at least outwardly. The way things are going, I think general travel advisories to the USA need to be published: fuck up our tourist industry even more and protect global citizens from needless suffering.

We know at this point that the real motivation for these firings is not to save money. It’s to reduce friction as he becomes a dictator. The more gears the government has turning, the more spots there are that can jam up the system in protest. That’s my theory, anyway. I’m sure there are additional reasons.

I was going to say…sounds like the USA in about three months. (Obviously trans discrimination is already here… I’m referring to the LGBQ discrimination being included.)

I’ve heard whispers that Aldi did this in name only, that workers still feel supported, and that internal DEI documents are still available.

Of course, this can’t be confirmed by evidence.
