I'm no politician, but there's not a representative in this country who couldn't find a bright, young, patriotic federal employee from their district who got the buzz saw from Musk and Trump. Get them on camera. Make these job losses personal, ya know. - ThreadSky

Local news reporters should do this every single day. Thousands of stories to tell. Thousands.

rkobell.bsky.social•16 hours ago

We are doing that every day at @thebaltimorebanner.com. https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/economy/federal-worker-callout-responses-JMG3PB3IPRARLBUZQC6AQHH22E/

that's amazing!! hoping others follow your lead. already so much good local news reporting out there on the doge impacts. looking forward to seeing much more.

rkobell.bsky.social•1 hour ago

People are looking to Washington/national reporters for those impact stories. That's not really what the DC/White House reporters do..They are focused on DOGE, Trump, etc. We regional reporters know you don't take the pulse of a place by interviewing three regulars in a Cleveland diner. MORE

rkobell.bsky.social•1 hour ago

We have sources - employees at EPA, or the BLM, or Yellowstone, or USDA. We can get behind the spokespeople - who rarely call back anyway - to find the impact. I am doing one such story now. I won't be going to a diner - though I was at a diner yesterday. I will be going where impacted people ARE.

I think three state AGs are getting ready to go on a tour doing something like that, starting in AZ.

itsmevicki.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Kyle Griffin: Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country."

I’ve said it before: Dems need to start a fund, we all donate, use it to hire fired feds, and send them to all the red districts to go door-to-door to tell their stories and explain what is happening. Grassroots. If their home district is red, prime them to run for seats.

My husband has cancer patients writing to the head of his university about the cancer research cuts.

Sorry. Democrats are busy parading around on cartons of eggs because some consultant told them to.

colette-xyz.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I wouldn't make it personal. There are often layoffs in the private sector. I would point out that these idiots went in and fired the people who keep the US running. Started with FAA? Also fired people who work against dangerous diseases? Looks like they are not working on flu vaccine for next year.

Whose camera, though ? What media outlet would promote that story? This is the big problem.

Big question is what can you do to assure them there won't be retribution.

Indeed. Conservatives found a guy named Joe the Plumber who was not named Joe nor was he a plumber and made him into a goddamn figurehead.

You underestimate the hatred and impact of the propaganda. Pretty sure most of the MAGA won’t care until it’s themselves who are impacted.

The only people that would care about this would be the people that got laid off and the people that didn’t vote for Trump. Trump voters are heartless

irr25325.bsky.social•14 hours ago

they could.
if not for their big donors.

they do not give AF about small donors and even less about the voters.

The Democrats are so incompetent it's honestly unbelievable.

huardsmith.bsky.social•17 hours ago

In the recent past, they’d be on CNN, MSNBC, the networks. You’d see 20 pages of people’s bios/headshots in the NYTimes.
Now, not a peep.

mkisliuk.bsky.social•16 hours ago

well, they are on MSNBC sometimes at least (evenings not daytime).

huardsmith.bsky.social•15 hours ago

That’s good to know! I haven’t seen any segments on anyone’s program that brings these laid off workers on to tell their stories. But I’m not watching 100% of the time!!

We need a modern digital Democracy to connect citizens with our representatives away from billionaire influence.
