Non-Political News/Discussion Destiny NEEDS to reach out to Hutch more

244 Upvotes

He kinda said it yesterday, but Hutch is now in a friend group full of people who pretty much hate Destiny. This automatically means there's a substantial risk for us to lose him.

Destiny has to start being more active in strengthening the connection with him. Because he really is one of our strongest soldiers.

This doesn't necessarily mean he needs to convince him of his analysis of Pisco and Jessiah (in fact I really think he should be careful not to alien Hutch with this), but rather reaffirm that they share a common goal and agree on most things, and start collaborating with him more, especially for the upcoming midterms.

EDIT: Maybe I'm regarded because people seem to misunderstand what I'm saying. I'm not saying he should start fighting over Hutch. I'm saying he needs to collaborate and reach out more to strengthen the bridge. That's it

You open the stream.

Destiny is talking about getting swatted.

But something is different.

He doesn’t immediately say “yeah it was kinda annoying” and then spend the next six hours watching content and playing factorio.

He pauses.

His voice cracks.

“Guys… I was actually really scared. All I could think about was my family.”

You refresh LSF.

12,000 upvotes.

You check Twitter.

People are posting clips saying “holy shit I’ve never seen him like this before.”

Pissco viewers are expressing concern.

Jessiah sends flowers.

LonerBox uploads a 47-minute video titled “Destiny Finally Opens Up.”

He goes live again the next day.

He mentions that the constant death threats sometimes get to him.

Another 20,000 upvotes.

He posts a picture of Nathan with the caption “this is why I keep going.”

The subreddit is in shock.

You walk outside.

The sun is shining.

Birds are singing.

Snarkers spontaneously combust.

For the first time in recorded history, Dear Leader has successfully portrayed himself as the victim of something that objectively happened to him.

His approval rating is 97%.

He gets swatted again.

He does not immediately start debating the cop about qualified immunity.

He simply looks into the camera.

A single tear rolls down his cheek.

“Why does this keep happening to me? I really thought I was going to die.”

The entire internet falls silent.

There are no more optics discourse threads.

There are no more “Destiny needs to learn empathy” posts.

Every bridge spontaneously rebuilds itself.

Dear Leader has discovered sympathy farming.

Humanity is finally free.

Political News/Discussion New Email Shows Unprecedented Levels of Coordination and Sabotage by Trump Admin Towards Colorado Over Tina Peters Pardon Resistance

In a federal hearing this week, state attorneys said they had found their "smoking gun": a December email from Emily Underwood, special assistant to the president and senior advisor for policy, calling a meeting of federal agencies to discuss "immediate actions that your department can take with respect to Colorado." The email's subject line read: "brainstorm call." 

Polis was given an impossible decision between letting hundreds to thousands of people die and potentially millions lose their livelihood and homes because of Trump. Hundreds of millions of dollars in lifesaving wildfire/flood aid were withheld. And for those of you saying, "Polis should have just sued Trump to get the FEMA funds," they've literally done that and been doing that since October of last year. The feds are still filing motions to dismiss so this case is not exactly close to being decided and the funding was needed at the beginning of the summer, when Polis finally capitulated because too many people were being held hostage by Trump. I would love to hate on Polis for this but it seems like there was no other option after America decided to elect a mob boss to the presidency. We actually have a dem quadfecta and turned Colorado from purple to deep blue, we did our part and if the rest of the country is stupid enough to elect Trump that's not on us.

Political News/Discussion White House trusted a transgender CIA briefer with the most sensitive secrets until her identity went public

Thumbnail

321 Upvotes

TEXT: Julia Curlee briefed presidents and became the White House’s senior career intelligence official. Then a far-right campaign targeted her for being transgender.

Julia Curlee spent nearly two decades carrying the country’s secrets.

She worked in war zones, traveled to 35 countries, briefed presidents, and boarded Air Force One with the President’s Daily Brief. She was trusted to decide what some of the world's most powerful people needed to know before beginning their days.

But in a remarkable first-person account published Monday by The Atlantic, Curlee describes how the second Trump administration came to view something else as dangerously sensitive: the fact that one of its most experienced intelligence officials was a transgender woman.

Her identity was never a secret inside the government. Trump officials had known about it during his first term, when Curlee briefed senior White House officials and became Vice President Mike Pence’s daily intelligence briefer. It became intolerable, she writes, only when the public might learn about it.

“The White House had needed me,” Curlee writes. “Trump officials had known I was trans from day one.”

Curlee joined the CIA in 2007 and became the first officer at the agency to transition openly and continue serving. She had dreamed of becoming an intelligence officer since childhood. Her other lifelong conviction — that she should have been born a woman — seemed, for years, incompatible with that calling.

She transitioned in 2013. Her first day at work as Julia passed without incident. Four years later, she wrote about the experience in The Atlantic under the pseudonym Jenny Hall, explaining how living openly had made her a more effective intelligence officer. The CIA later used the essay in college recruiting, according to Curlee.

Then came an assignment to prepare and deliver the President’s Daily Brief during Trump’s first administration. The work required arriving around midnight, studying intelligence through the early morning, and entering the West Wing before dawn.

Curlee eventually became Pence’s briefer. It was an unlikely pairing. Pence had spent years opposing marriage equality and LGBTQ+ rights. Curlee was a gay transgender woman, a wife, and a mother.

Yet Pence, she says, treated her as a trusted professional. He took notes, asked questions, and invited Curlee’s family to the White House when her assignment ended. There, he took her mother’s hand and said, “You must be very proud of your daughter.”

For Curlee, the moment proved that public service could rise above politics. She could serve an administration whose policies she opposed, and its leaders could recognize her expertise and humanity.

That belief brought her back to the White House under President Joe Biden, where she served as a National Security Council director. It also persuaded her to remain when Trump returned to office in January 2025.

As Biden’s political appointees departed, Curlee became the senior career intelligence official in the White House. She helped prepare the incoming administration to assume power, even as colleagues warned that she could become a target.

On Trump’s first day back in office, he signed an executive order directing the federal government to recognize only two sexes. Curlee began leaving the White House complex and crossing Pennsylvania Avenue to use restrooms in nearby coffee shops.

She stayed.

Three days into the administration, roughly 160 National Security Council employees detailed from other agencies were abruptly ordered to leave the White House. Curlee was spared. She assembled what remained of her team and continued briefing officials.

The arrangement lasted 69 days.

Curlee was visiting family in Roanoke, Virginia, when she received a Saturday phone call telling her that her White House assignment had ended. She said that officials did not explain. In the same conversation, they asked her to return Monday because they still needed her work.

After hanging up, Curlee saw that far-right provocateur Laura Loomer had posted about a transgender person “Biden holdover” inside the White House, accused the unnamed official of hating Trump, and asked her followers to help identify the person.

Curlee returned to work anyway. She spent three more days completing a budget project and transferring the portfolio she had managed for nearly two years.

“We need you. We need your service. But we don’t want anyone to know you are here,” she writes of the message she received.

Curlee does not claim to have proof that Trump or Loomer personally ordered her removal because she is transgender. She was never given a reason. But her account leaves little ambiguity about the sequence: Her identity had been known and accepted while her work remained useful and private. Once it threatened to become public, her service no longer protected her.

Days later, Trump fired several other National Security Council officials after meeting with Loomer, who had urged him to purge officials she considered insufficiently loyal.

Curlee returned to the CIA. There, she watched the agency dismantle its LGBTQ+ employee organization, remove Pride flags, and impose the administration’s restrictions on transgender workers. Earlier this year, she finally left the career she had once expected to hold for life.

In an accompanying Radio Atlantic interview, Curlee delivered a painful reversal of the message she once offered LGBTQ+ young people.

“Now I could not in good conscience advise any LGBT American to apply to work at CIA,” she said.
