Some employees at the Department of Education changed their responses back to the more neutral language, only to have it changed yet again to the partisan response, multiple sources tell WIRED.
Blatant partisanship instead of helping Americans. woo. 🙄😒
Total weaponization of EVERYTHING against the left, even using right wing shooters against the left.
The VA did the same thing in a newsletter they send out.
This pissed me off until I remembered that all these positions were replaced by partisan shit-suckers and opted to ignore it instead. The fact that republican mouthpieces can lie to the faces of their supporters and still get believed means they’re hopeless to learn anything else. They live in a reality that is going to crash and burn in a few months, and they can blame none of it on any opposition but their own rejection of reality.
Dare I say Trump is the next Hitler
You cannot fucking tell me that he does shit like this and nobody gives a damn. This has to be illegal
I think we’re way past what’s legal or not in this shithole. His whole point from the beginning was that he could shoot someone and nothing would happen and americans were like: wow. I like guns too.
Hatch act, it is in fact illegal.
He basically shredded the Hatch act his first term, there were no consequences, of course he’s just gonna flat out ignore it this time.
Agreed.
Forcing those military generals to sit through a campaign speech showed that the Hatch Act is basically dead.
Agreed.
We need to give courts the power to order people with guns to enforce their rulings, lowe courts too
We have that. Most judges can empower a Marshall or Marshalls. A federal judge can empower a federal Marshall and a state judge a state Marshall.
it may well be illegal, but when has that stopped the 34 time felon rapist in chief?
34 times convicted felon, who knows how many more he’s committed without being convicted.
i mean, technically you’re not a felon until you’re convicted of a felony.
Trump was convicted of those 34 felonies, he just wasn’t punished for them.
I know. I was saying how the parent comment said that he had other felonies, just wasn’t convicted of them. you’re not a felon until you’re convicted of a felony.
He’s too dumb, also near death, but mostly, he’s just too dumb. All of them are. Our saving grace is that the evil isn’t smart enough to succeed at evil.
I wouldn’t call him dumb. If he was literally stupid he wouldn’t have made it this far. He knows exactly what he does and doesn’t care. Hes evil as hell, but not dumb.
The man himself is absolutely dense. Just listen to one of his speeches or interviews for five minutes. But the really smart (and dangerous) people are the ones whispering into his ear.
This is my impression. Kinda like Dick Cheney whispering into George W. Bush’s ear, just… even more openly evil. And that’s saying something.
It is. But nothing will be done about it
Does anyone have the article or at least what the wording was changed to ? Blocked by paywall for me
Wow…
Google remove paywall
I’m reading lemmy using the Android voyager client, which seems to open the default Samsung browser which is quite limited in what it can do. I don’t see any options in the settings to force it to use Firefox, or any other browser unfortunately.
So googling for “remove paywall” is not helpful
I have no idea how similar the settings screens are, but in the iOS voyager client there is some kind of option if you go to:
settings
general
other
open links in…
Thanks, but unless I’m blind, there’s no such option in the android one.
There is most likely a way to open it in a real browser.
Not that laws matter, but it’s a pretty clear violation of the Hatch Act.
Call me when any future Democratic AG’s do anything to prosecute any of this.
I’ll be holding my breath.

Not from the US, nor a lawyer, but how is this not fraud?
If someone pretends to be you, without your consent, is that not fraud?
You can ask me to change my out of office email and threaten me with being fired if I don’t, but if you just do it anyway, how is that not fraud?
Maybe not fraudulent, since it’s not asking for money, but I see where you’re coming from. I’m not sure if there’s any recourse for the employees affected - did they lose money (for example) because of that message?
70% if the US is not buying this bs and wants all these idiots to start doing their damn jobs.
30% of the US is giggling with glee over these partisan statements forced on government workers while they fantasize about executions.
that 30% is looking more and more like a sexual deviant masturbating on a playground at 3am.
70% if the US is not buying this bs and wants all these idiots to start doing their damn jobs.
70% of the US didn’t vote like that though.
Less than 65% of americans voted in 2024
The point is the overwhelming majority of folks are MAGA true believers. A good chunk of that 70% voted for Trump, not because he convinced them hes a good president, but just as a vote against the status quo. They’ll support a better option for that if there is one presented.
Yeah because the status quo was worse than what’s going on now. 🙄
Americans are morons. There’s no reason to believe they’ll support a better option. They already didn’t in 2016 and again in 2024.
I meant a better option than Clinton or Harris. The dnc are incompetent.
Is there any grassroots movement for an alternative?
Again, American voters can’t just sit around and demand a better option without putting the work in.
All of the media we have used in the past to do such things, starting with Obama, are being controlled by propagandists. Twitter, Facebook, reddit. Theyre making it harder to not just be surrounded my propaganda.
Yes!
Well, '16 other option was an arrogant, self entitled, self serving, rotten cunt. Who made the decision to stay married to a philandering prick just for political cache.
other option was an arrogant, self entitled, self serving, rotten cunt.
But enough about Trump.
And should we talk about his personal life?
To clarify, I do hate Cheeto Chimp.
Half of half of half is not anywhere close to a majority.
It’s enough to change the result of an election.
The day this pedo king strokes out will become a national holiday
Pedo king is fitting.
Trump the King of the pedophilia, protector of corruption, leader of the racist white army.
So we need some sort of …red army…?
Shit is the Russian Revolution a better model for what America’s upcoming period of political violence looks like? Because the “Second Civil War” invokes ideas of a clean boundary between belligerents, akin to the North/South. But it’s obvious that it won’t be like that this time, and until now I hadn’t considered Russia as a better example.
I doubt it will change much, the rest of the party is still in tact. They’ll just move Vance to to king dipshit and continue as they were.
It will definitely be a big baby step
The Cheeto is definitely a cult of personality, and I suspect it will be harder to rally all conservatives behind his replacement. Cult leaders dying can solidify a cult if done correctly (Scientology), but it’s also quite likely that it dissolves.
I will be so happy, i don’t even know what i will do.
Definitely the sign of a healthy democracy right there.
This is what happens when the people exposed to the highest levels of lead are give access to all the hate they can eat and free-reign to use that lowered cognitive function in positions of power.
This is illegal and two things will be done about it. Jack and shit

If that folder isn’t full yet.
Scum of the earth.
So fucking dystopian. People need to go to prison for this.
They should all go through every email exchange they had and inform every single person who received that automatic response that it was set that way without their consent.
In addition to everyone else here’s much more pressing political concerns, this is terrible for computer security. It encourages users to install third-party programs onto government machines.
Mossad should release autoreply_writer.exe
this is terrible for computer security. It encourages users to install third-party programs onto government machines
I’d be more concerned about the programs the government is installing onto the machines
