Trump's administration and Republicans in general in office are attempting to use the government shutdown as a way to "purge" many departments. And they're being explicit about it: they're planing on purging any departments they see as "left leaning" (ie providing social services), purge "left leaning" employees, and plan on consulting with the architect(s) of Project 2025 to execute this plan https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2025/oct/02/government-shutdown-trump-democrats-latest-updates

It's good that the Democrats didn't cave on the budget. But that doesn't mean that Trump and company get to do this.
It could backfire, if people push back. They're overplaying their hand.
But if there's not enough pushback, then we're really in trouble, because this will effectively be a second major purge of America's institutions. The DOGE wave was already bad enough.

I've been watching on Bluesky and fedi both, and I will say that I think there's been much less attention and alarms raised on the fediverse about how bad things are going.
Y'all the last week has been INCREDIBLY BAD, especially the meeting on Tuesday. Maybe I should make a thread about it. We are so beyond red alert right now.

@MLE_online Helena Bonham Carter shows up *first*, people don't notice her in support groups even when her attendance would stand out, and she even shows up in his mind when he is trying to meditate. He is distressed by this due to unexamined internalized misogyny and transphobia, so he creates his Tyler Durden persona to double down on toxic masculinity in hopes that it will make him a real man. Hilarity ensues.

“We all talk about how no one has any shame anymore, how people act in whatever way they choose, how people no longer understand how to behave in public and how selfish, how little regard humans seem to have for one another. Where do we think all this came from? This is the culture we have normalized by watching it on TV and sharing it on the internet, for years now. We expect people in positions of power somehow behave differently, to be better, but why would they? As a culture, we have rewarded this behavior. We gave those shows ratings. We gave our attention to celebrity fights on Twitter. We sent signal after signal after signal.”

Oh hey, this is doing numbers, so let me repeat something anybody can do to help:
Every US city has pro-immigrant groups organizing #ICE watches. They need bodies! I'm involved and I am nothing special, just a basic white chick who isn't even fully fluent in Spanish. I'm a pylon, but hey, pylons have some use for safety. 🤷🏼♀️
You can find a pro-immigrant group in your area. Call them and ask how to join ICE watch. Then join in and/or spread that info all over town! They need help!

@MLE_online my head canon is that Tyler Durden and Helena Bonham Carter are both alternate personalities of Edward Narrator in Fight Club, and that she's several months to five years away from having a Very Important Realization
