NEWS: In USDA, multiple people have been asked to report the names of LGBTQ employee resource group leaders to higher-ranking officials, according to interviews with workers and a document reviewed by Mother Jones. + similar in the Department of the Interior

This. This, this, this. Elected Dems are throwing us to the wolves.

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

Is this a fokawolf?

Yes, this is the same subset that thinks a random leaf falling on their car in a parking lot is a sign their "littles" are going to be trafficked. They're trapped in enormously dull lives & the conspiracies give them something to obsess over. If it's not QAnon to obsess over, it's overconsumption.

He's telling disabled people they don't deserve life and most of you have glossed right over that.

are they so for real right now? like seriously?

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

Hahaha hold what line? The overline on their lips? The excessive lining on their brows?

trump wants to be able to tell the USPS not to deliver ballots to blue states www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Man I am so proud of my fellow train nerds.

Man, where the hell is @gavinnewsom.bsky.social on all these Trump administration cuts & purges effecting California? Like come on, the Presidio? He's gonna land grab the Presidio & you're just going to shut up & allow it? Holy hell. You can do better than this.

It's no understatement to say the Elon Musk is the most dangerous man alive. He's an existential threat to everyone on this planet if he's not stopped.

YES! AGREED! DIVEST!

As someone who had a government purchase card for ages, I am not surprised. This will gum up all purchase operations. But I am wondering - why this, when they could just change the Pcard and purchase contracts to be their buddies & be all tech based?

Us: "We elected you to do something!!" Dems: "Here's a quarter. Call someone who cares."

This is @misernyc.bsky.social's rally on Saturday ... and it's on the Streetsblog calendar (are you checking it regularly): nyc.streetsblog.org/calendar

ITS HIS DAY

the line about how trump is just trolling or joking about the “king” thing is belied somewhat by the fact that his administration’s explicit position is he can do whatever he wants and that everyone in every branch of government needs to bow to his demands or be banished

This is my current understanding of the Constitutional order in the United States It is, needless to say, very bad

They screwed this all up.

I get what you are saying. But French folks would not lose their jobs, healthcare & literal lives all at once if they protest. Universal healthcare & leave programs can allow them to do so. And don't forget the US has a long history of killing those who dissent. It is not the same.

What in the holy fuck

Join SVTU for the public launch of our member-funded union with music, food, art, and a conversation between local orgs (Sac Punks with Lunch, @norcalresist.bsky.social, trans/queer affinity group, more TBA) about how we collectively defend our most vulnerable neighbors from the fascist onslaught.

Holy hell

If I have to see another Handmaid's Tale costume at another "stand around with signs & take pictures of ourselves" rally I am seriously going to lose it

Really telling that men who probably have wives & children have literally no idea that there are several apps already existing for last minute childcare

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle. One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”

I feel it important to mark that the reason Homer had hired goons show up at his door is because Burns was union busting cause, ya know

Hey @nytimes.com, why the change in headline? Murdered trans man not getting enough clicks for you? Proof: archive.is/aLsoN

Yosemite is the first wildland park to ever exist in the nation. It was founded in 1864 as a state park. California was new, struggling; the feds took over in 1890 during the rise of national park popularity. Perhaps it's time the established state of California took it back, permanently.

There's a union out there called AFSCME and they're busting their balls for you doing a lot of shit work you take for granted

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

ah a fellow corvid council devotee. CORVID COUNCIL!

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

Dying in a hideous plane crash because the world’s most racist and unlovable nerds couldn’t handle a 45 minute HR training.

I think planes shouldn't crash

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

holy shit, they're going to cause bank runs with this shit

An estimated 3,400 U.S. Forest Service employees were fired this week. @jjreport.bsky.social reports what it means for California

planes with dei: fly me to the moon and let me play among the staaars planes without dei:

yeah so I don't think I wanna fly anywhere anytime soon

The state of things

Don't need staff for land that's going to be sold off to the highest bidder

if I were writing stories about the gov "firing thousands of probationary workers" I would probably rewrite as "firing thousands of new hires -- who are often on a status called "probation" --" because I think the general understanding of "probation" is "in trouble for something they did"

I’m headed to Stonewall to cover a protest against the Trump administration erasing trans and queer people from the Stonewall National Monument website last night. See below from ACT UP, and AP coverage of the website purge. www.huffpost.com/entry/stonew...
