We MUST reach federal workers any way we can, and INSIST they join bsky. The anger & despair is more than enough; I can't bear the thought of this rejection & isolation, when there is a HUGE community that thinks the world of them & appreciates all they've done for the US!

Yes, but depending on what they’re being threatened with, they’re either laughing or running scared and folding.

In the before times, with an administration that otherwise acted lawfully and behaved with decency whether I agreed with them or not, I’d have said “He can’t legally do this and he won’t get away with it,” knowing that would have been reality.
Oh how I long for a return to reality.

Yup. Shoo them away and then legislate like crazy to make sure they can’t come back. Because heaven forbid we actually try to help them get on their feet.

“Unsightly.” Like they’re weeds or something and not human beings.

Here’s the rub for him: He doesn’t run the city, he doesn’t rule it, he doesn’t own it. DC has its own city government independent of the White House, so if and when the Orange One tries this, he’ll find himself in court AGAIN, in a case I seriously doubt he could ever win.

Assuming Trump does get anywhere with this. Mayor Bowser may well give him the finger.

“False facts?” If they’re false they’re not facts. WTF?

Ehhhhhhhhh…most officers will let a few Kinder Eggs through. With something like that, it costs more in time and effort to confiscate them than to just let someone who bought a few for family or whoever go without doing anything. Some will be assholes about it, but not all.

Also, workers that have to continue working during a shutdown get back pay, but when it goes on long enough and you don’t know when you’re getting your next paycheck, that’s of little comfort.
Furloughed workers? Congress has to decide whether they also get back pay or not.

No…there are several unions. The AFGE is the largest, representing over 800k.
SOME federal workers can strike, but those that are considered “essential” can’t.
And if you’re a federal worker and essential, you get to work without pay during a shutdown. If not, you get furloughed.

We don’t confiscate chocolate here unless you’re bringing so much in that it appears you’re likely to sell it and you don’t have the proper paperwork to do so.
But let’s talk about the really serious part of your post: WHO THE HELL JUDGED YOU FOR HAVING CADBURY????

Cod liver oil is an excellent way for one to make oneself spend the rest of the day on their knees worshiping the porcelain god.
