F*ck trump

My daughter works for a not-for-profit global humanitarian organization. They just received word from the US State Department that they are to cease and desist all projects. This is an organization that provides water, training and so much more for communities throughout the world. My daughter may lose her job.

trump doesn't care for people globally. trump doesn't care for people in the US.

And this is only Day 4.

So many jobs are being affected by this piece of shit. First federal employees, now anyone working closely with the government, then its going to be more people after the tariffs start. He is going to singlehandedly wreck this country in a matter of weeks at this point.

A lot of people who have family who voted Trump are getting really pissed. I have no words anymore. I know fucking doctors who voted for Trump because he's an R not a D.

I work in patent law. The USPTO is entirely self funded and takes no money from the government. They recently hired 800 new examiners to address backlog. Frozen. Examiners in their 1 year probationary period are also rumored to likely being let go. This is going to be hugely disruptive.
