in case you missed it, rex tillerson, secretary of state, was fired via a presidential tweet this morning
he’s being replaced by mike pompeo, who is currently CIA director
aside from this being horrifying because it indicates a shift in the purpose of the state department from diplomacy to national security, it’s also bad because before pompeo was CIA director he was a congressman, and as such he was in super tight with the family research council
the family research council is really really violently transphobic, among other bad things
