I hear you. The stress and sadness is overpowering. That’s what they want. We cannot let them win this psychological war. Laughter is the best medicine and stand ups will rescue us. My latest favorite Mo Amer. Such a riot! Take care.
A friend in Texas who works at a rural VA clinic is still receiving buyout emails. Several today Friday 2/7. Their direct supervisor is pressuring them to make a decision. No mention of the pause and no official email informing them of the ruling.
What should someone do in this setting?
Hold the line. As a teacher who was harassed for years. Emotional harassment. Job threatening, bad observations. Hang on. If she had a union she has a contract.
I’ll pass it on! A close relative heads special ed for a NOVA school district. These are very dark days for educators. Sending strength and badassery. Be good to yourself ✌️💙🙏
If they are union they can hold this. Stick together know your union contract, if Nova is charter, they have no union no power unfortunately. And that’s why they want to privatize education. Glad I retired a little over a year ago. NJ was 25/55.
Tell their supervisor that they are under a court injunction to disregard the memo and continue work. Provide a copy of the filings. Let their supervisor know that until the court matter is resolved, further inquiries will be redirected to their attorney (and bargaining unit chief if appropriate).
Thank you for the guidance. Searching for a pdf of the injunction to print so they have it ready to present, when necessary. It’s a small clinic, I’m not sure they’re receiving timely updates and probably wouldn’t know where to look.
A lot of pressure and intimidation. Heartbreaking.
This helps tremendously! I’ll know where to look in the future.They continued to receive the original ‘fork in the road’ email through the work day Friday. My understanding is that they’d get several a day.
I cried most of yesterday. It’s all so overwhelming, but I’m ready to fight like hell ✌️

I'd really rather use FUK instead.
Am really starting to use that word for just about everything.
It slides off my tongue easier than it used to too.
It is a very versatile word, used in many different ways.
It colors my expressions, my emotions, my angst, anger.
It can start or end my sentences.
😁
I don't support federal workers. Not with how disastrously our country has been doing since the 08 recession. You may say stocks are up, but cost of living is also up and wages can't keep pace with productivity OR inflation. If they can't fix issues, why should I support them?
Workers don’t write laws or set policies and regulations. Politicians do.
I don’t support idiots like you who blame civil servants whose wages barely pay the bills for the decisions politicians making millions make, but you know thats how it works and are just looking to stir the pot. Go back to X 🖕🏻
One of Musk’s incel boys resigned after it was exposed that he posted online, “you could not pay me to marry outside my ethnicity.” &”normalize Indian hate.”
Today JD Vance said “We should bring him back!”
What a Dad!
This reminds me of a joke my dad used to tell where someone’s skin was gonna be made into leather for a canoe but they had the choice of weapon to 💀 by. One of them chose a fork and started poking himself saying “fuck your canoe”
My dad had worked for the FAA and knew many air traffic controllers and always praised them for their hard work. I'm sure every one that works for the government is doing a wonderful job
HOUSE REPUBLICANS GOP
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES FOR GOING AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE (WHO YOU WORK FOR NOT THE DICTATOR) AND LETTING TRUMP AND HIS CABINET GUT OUR COUNTRY AND DEMOCRACY DESTROYING OUR LIVELIHOOD AND HOW THE WORLD LOOKS AT US!
BEFORE WE GO TO WAR, OR WE ARE TARGETED AND KILLED FOR TRUMP'S STUPIDITY AND UNFEELING GESTURE TO MAKE MONEY FROM THE PEOPLE OF THE GAZA STRIP, AND USAID, AND OTHER IMPORTANT HUMANITARIAN FUNDS,
Can you consider vetting and dispersing info?
Allegations of “Sovereign Wealth Fund” plan to be backed by Social Security/SSDI accounts, invested in crypto and ‘lost’ in a devaluation transfer. These Funds are ONLY for Surplus funds, not with deficit spending.
Do you really think they're dismantling all of our government systems, firing everyone and taking away all American aid because they plan to leave in 4 years?!
238 law professors from across the country have signed on to a Statement of Urgency about the peril of the constitutional crisis that is now upon us. Complete list of signers below. Please read and repost!! Thank you!
The problem is they have Homeland Security thugs with guns guarding them and we taxpayers have been left with NO FEDERAL law enforcement working for us even though WE PAY ALL THE SALARIES.
Unless the courts use their marshals to stop this, it is only up to us.
Being an old fart, I find the lack of paper in my life quite surprising. Most everything that comes in that format these days is bad news... or a bill.
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!
There were some hastags going around to 🖕 Elon - hopefully someone like you w/large following could start a new one to represent our resistance/rebellion against this Project 2025 takeover
The problem with that offer is that it claimed pay through September 30, 2025. If there's a government shutdown, DOGE can then argue since Fed employees weren't actually working, effectively quit, none are due pay or unemployment.
Trump, Musk, and JD are craven, and haven’t learned from history. Who won the Civil War? World War I? World War II? Won the women’s right to vote? Won civil rights? Won marriage equality? Ended apartheid? Overcame efforts to block progress? They’re ignoring history, and their downfall is inevitable.
Yes! BUT this regime *wants* white supremacy & inequality. When democracies fall to fascism, citizens are complicit. We didn't stop Trump's win & now he's president. Most regimes fall after people have endured much violence, deprivation, & revocation of their civil rights. We must stop his reign.
Fred...Guess what Trump just did. Fired the Chairman of the board at The Kennedy Center in DC (and others) Guess who he named as the new Chairman of the Board?
Himself!!!! I hope they all SUE for wrongful discharge. Truth social post. Reported by...Mary Trump.
Ideally, you’d want to minimize taxpayer expenses. To achieve this, you’d reduce the # of federal workers to the point where it lowers costs. If a federal program or job is popular, it’s likely that it could have been funded voluntarily—unless, of course, social democrats are all talk & no action.

And isn't it ironic
Don't you think
A little too ironic...and yeah, I really do think

If he had endorsed Hillary right away and told his followers to do it, we might not be in this mess.
What are conservatives saying about:
1. Amount of time they are giving this admin to “straight things” out
2. What will they use to measure success?
Thanks

Pressure every politician from every party. Keep the heat on every reporter, commentator, and news outlet.
Call, write, email, text. Every day. Choose ten. Tell them to stop the terrorists.

Fork off.
Republicans are wondering why they have been fired from their Federal jobs.
