It's 2025 and you're still saying things like "no need to rub people's face in it" about the existence of gay people?

I am sorry but I think keeping a low, neutral profile is wise until we see how things develop. A percentage do care.

I am really so sorry for the pressure anyone is experiencing. I absolutely believe that they will target people at certain agencies and obviously the military has already happened. If you suspect that you have been fired for impermissible reasons, please challenge it. Even a half assed grievance or complaint just to hopefully be consolidated with other similarly situated. It won’t be fast and you might never get redress but if you don’t preserve your claim it is harder for anyone to help you in the next administration.

Meanwhile - save your money, cut all extra expenses, be kind to yourself, and do whatever you need to do to protect your data and life details from this administration. Assume AI will be used to target your “loyalty to the administration” - (not your oath of office).

AFAIK the only people being targeted are trans people. I think the military ban is something campaigned on.

Have you read Project 2025?

There are 3-1/2 more years to go. Trump is likley to declare martial law and stop elections. I would be surprised if his J6 goon squad he pardoned is out firebombing during peaceful protests so he can get an excuse. Most of those arrested for fire bombing, gun shots, and property destruction during George Floyd protests were White Nationalists.

Can you stay on topic?

… yes, yes it is.

Queer people shouldn’t be allowed to work isn’t a popular belief.

Renaming the USS Harvey Milk shouldn't be a popular belief but we're a already there. What's happening is very concerning.

I'm more worried about the trans people in the military that were fired than the name of a ship.

As a gay Fed, I am concerned that my spouse wouldn't get my spousal pension, FEHB benefits, etc. that are otherwise entitled to other heterosexual Feds and their spouses. Striking down the Defense of Marriage Act helped me breathe a little easier that my spouse would be taken care of.

Now, I am not so sure.
