People have to stop expecting Trump breaking a rule or precedent to be what puts an end to this. There are no guardrails, no referees, no institutional block. The only thing that will stop this is a grassroots movement of people organizing to reject an oligarchical takeover. That’s it. Period.

The Trump administration repeatedly cites the statistic that only 6% of federal employees work full-time in their offices. Guess what? The stat isn't true. Our editor-in-chief Steve Engelberg investigates how and why this lie continues to spread — and the impact: www.propublica.org/article/fede...

Wait, is this suggesting that private individuals who want to adopt should be given a list of currently pregnant women? Who have not consented to having their information shared?

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

It's literally impossible to run the National Weather Service without talking to foreign partners. For example, the National Hurricane Center in Miami shares data with other nations in the Caribbean constantly to forecast storms. Everyone benefits. Weather doesn't stop at the borders.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

I used to work for an elected official as the person who answered their emails. I can tell you from personal experience, if even twenty or thirty people all call an official in a day, they start panicking. This stuff does help.

Man, really feel like the Internet hive-mind dropped the ball on letting me know that the demo for Blade Chimera was out. Fucking stellar, so far. Suffers the same problem Metroidvanias and Adventure titles share in that it tastes great, but comes in an indie portion-size. Full-release in two weeks

I'd be a more hype for mashed potatoes if they didn't lose half their value the moment you drive them off the lot Comes to the table to "Ah Lord, thank You for Your many blessings", then 3 days later, it's a compressed starch cube taking up tupperware space, getting fewer looks than an '06 Chrysler
