We knew this was coming. Fucking hell.

Want a tangible way to resist? Here's your homework. Follow the instructions in this super guide from our amazing friends at @fedworkersunited.bsky.social to comment by May 23 on the proposed Schedule F rule, which would remove civil service protections for a huge swath of the federal workforce.

How would you engage in a nationwide strike? 1️⃣ I would be there and bring others with me. 2️⃣️ I would need to believe it was big enough to make a difference. 3️⃣ I would support others but can’t participate myself. 4️⃣ This is too risky or not my way of resisting. 5️⃣ I don’t support this. 📊 Show results

The doctors should say she's got complications and they have to hold her under observation until they can get a a lawyer in there!

This is the best thread today and that is saying a LOT.

The press has been all over this shit but not a single fucking one has broken what a placebo trip would look like so, lets. 🧵🧵 www.reuters.com/business/hea...

I personally am a sustainer for two state PBS stations. Do your part, America.

Happy Friday! The May Day protests were awesome.🔥 Folks from all walks of life showed up—united by the basics: protecting human dignity, defending essential programs like Medicaid, and resisting this regime’s reckless, cruel abuses of power. Let’s keep up the pressure.

This is disgusting. But then, so many things this administration does are disgusting. These people do not give a damn about your children. They do not give a damn about their safety. They do not give a damn about their lives. They literally can’t make clearer. www.npr.org/2025/05/01/n...

Helpin a brother out here. Anyone got an in?

Happy #InternationalWorkersDay! NARA leadership just sent a staff wide email - “Effective immediately, you will no longer need to report your weekly activities with the five bullets in response to “What Did You Do Last Week?. #WorkersUnite!

#MayDay! #MayDay! The rule of law is under attack. If we don’t act now, it may be too late. Keep the pressure up on your representatives, join a union, use your voice, support federal workers - anything you do makes a difference. 1/

BREAKING Remember when we said NY AG Letitia James had the power to investigate Trump tariff-related stock market manipulation and insider trading? IT'S HAPPENING. James just confirmed an investigation has been opened.

“To President Trump … I’m not afraid of you.”

I think it’s a good time hot that Unsubscribe button on your USPS Informed Delivery email. But I don’t know if it will help.

🧵 Good evening all, My #whywestay may look a bit different than the rest of my #AltGov 's and #AltFam 's posts, but thats because I'm not a federal employee. And that's integral into why I am here as an AltGov account and how it came to be. I am the last person one would think to be doing this

the best kind of parade happening on Constitution right now

Reskeeting this because I am too lazy to do a new thread. We have seen the EO from yesterday about “excess military”. Here’s what I have to say about it, along with some resources that I hope will help provide you with some assurances and to help you not feel so scared 💕

This really torques my jaws. Perdue has not one redeemable feature which would give any Dem a good reason to vote for him. WTF @booker.senate.gov ??!!!

Please read the essay. It’s more important than you think it might be. For ALL of us.

Thousands out here today in DTLA to rally for striking LA County workers.

Listening to Bernie gives us the injection of hope we need! Happening now: He's addressing the media alongside Senator Patty Murray and other Dems at a news conference focused on the Medicare for All Act. www.c-span.org/program/news...

Dear Voters of Canada, Thank you for telling Agent 🍊 to fuck the fuck off. Love, Most of the People of USA

Oh fuck no. Can you say posse comitatus?

I see my NARA colleagues working everyday to make the records of our government accessible for all - in addition to veterans needing military service records, we serve authors and academics pouring over primary sources to better understand the past. #WeSeeYou 1/

We at #altgov have been asked #WhyWeStay. I can only speak for myself but I stay because the work the National Archives does is part of what makes our country a democracy. Having access to the records of our government allows us to hold elected and appointed officials accountable. #WeSeeYou
