DOGE got my nephew yesterday.. [View all]

Not probationary, he was a scientist / chemist with the FDA. They just paid to move him from California to Detroit and Eloon and crowd decided to lay him off yesterday. Now my sister is scared they will try to make him pay for his own relocation by taking back what the FDA paid him to move.

Maybe they timed it to coincide with all the other news to try to hide the carnage nationwide yesterday, but for now I'm just raging on anything Maga I come across. Two special elections in FL yesterday didn't help...

I realize emotion comes into play, but prior to yesterday I was with the crowd that says not to criticize Dem leadership. Today I want fighters.

I just have to say I hope they got the message not to slow roll justice this time around with these idiots. Stop being nice to them trying to make things normal once they are gone. Fight like there isn't a tomorrow, because with these current idiots running the country, there may not be.
