Took a “Know Your Rights” training this wknd to help protect our immigrant friends and neighbors. Find one and take it. DHS sent “it’s time to leave” notices to lots of immigrants and also us citizens. HHS tried to take immigrant kids out of LA schools, claiming a “welfare check.” #WeKeepUsSafe

A lot more staff took the Deferred Resignation/Early retirement this time around— it was re-offered the week of 7 April . I’m hearing ~ 11,000 for Army. No numbers yet for Civil Works (Corps of engineers) but I know 6 colleagues in my immediate circle. I am still here.

If wishbones worked, there would be a lot more turnover at the chicken processing plant... XD

The Black struggle against racism is central to the story of The United States. His attempt to expunge this story - under the guise of extinguishing “DEI” - represents an attempt to erase Blackness itself. News accounts that parrot his propaganda aid and abet this crime.

For folks out there putting tons of energy into hating the current admin, I encourage you to take a break today and put that energy (or donation if you are able!) into a local org that is providing lifelines for the folks most impacted but this scary stuff. If you need tips, just ask here.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

I missed this earlier. This is what dictators do. Criticize the press when they ask legitimate questions. Well done @kaitlancollins.bsky.social asking real questions to hold them accountable.

"So, the self-silencing that is happening right now is really, really scary, and that is what we have to stand up against. I think that there is no more dangerous response to authoritarianism than self-silencing.”

Sweeping job cuts and reorganizations taking place at the US Department of Health and Human Services under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. leave the United States “weaker as a nation,” Dr. Peter Marks told CNN.

I’m hearing that the 23,000 Reduction in force goal for the Army may be more likely to target employees that work on overhead funding and less those who work on project funding. If true, This leaves USACE district offices somewhat less vulnerable to cuts. This is opinion, however. Not fact.

🚨 BREAKING: 11 young people were arrested after Schumer locked the doors on us—we showed him how to fight, but he couldn’t even face us. His cowardly deal gives Musk the keys to our government while working people suffer. If he won’t fight for us, he’s unfit to lead. Step up or step aside.

I wrote about the kidnapping and potential deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, the histories of repression this case is built upon, and the new and horrifying moment we are experiencing.

NEW: I heard from a bunch of federal employees tonight with more backbone that Chuck Schumer. Spread the word! "Shutdowns suck, but what we’re experiencing is something much much worse and now is the moment to stand against it or you’re abdicating your duty as an elected official.”

What happened at Columbia today is appalling. If you care about freedom of speech and freedom of association, now is the time to act. We fight for our rights now or we lose them. Support @swcolumbia.bsky.social!

Dear Senators, Do not hand over our democracy because you are afraid of owning the shutdown. We will remember if you sell us out. We will support you if you support us.

If Republicans wanted to keep the government open, they would have either put forward a clean CR or included Democrats in the negotiations for the 6 month stop-gap. Instead, they jammed in poison pills and DOGE wish-list items. No one can blame Dems for telling them to eat shit.

Americans have a right to know who is buying the cases and decisions of the Supreme Court. You can't claim to be against the "deep state" while protecting the anonymity of the right-wing billionaires astroturfing court cases and bribing Justices.
