We’re hearing from multiple sources that center directors at CDC and/or NIH may be let go tomorrow. We are hoping this is just a rumor- passionate, dedicated leadership is needed during this time. We’ll keep you updated as we learn more.

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

Small sabotage is real and achievable and desirable. Do all you can.

🚨🚨🚨 PSA- Gov. Braun has banned the distribution of the Imagination Station books in Indiana. For those who do not know, Imagination Station is a program started by Dolly Parton which provides a free book each month to children from 0-5. 1/2

IRS, my heart is going out to you peeps today. Hugs!

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

“Our predecessors deposed a brain-addled king; they crushed the violent insurrectionists of a slaveholding confederacy; they kicked the Nazis’ asses throughout Europe.” “No entitled reality-TV has-been backed by an addle-brained billionaire who cheats at video games is going to roll over us now.”

Go show love to our people who are holding the line for us against tremendous pressure and stress

ATTENTION FEDS In NM et al v Musk, the judge denied a TRO against DOGE firings due to lack of evidence of immediate and irreparable harm. Attorneys are asking us for evidence of harm to states (including individuals) due to firing/cancelled services. Message altcdc.99 on signal for submission email

“Democrats seem to be waiting for Trump, Musk, and MAGA to naturally become unpopular, instead of working overtime to make them unpopular. We can’t wait. We need a unified, aggressive, and creative opposition in this country.” Read more from @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social. 👇

About 50 years ago, I was reading political thrillers, including several by Fletcher Knebel. His 1966 novel, NIGHT OF CAMP DAVID, centers on a U.S. president who has gone insane. Signs of insanity include: desire for (a) an alliance with the USSR, and (b) annexation of Canada.

So, are Americans waking up to the fact that immigrants are not stealing their job? Instead, Trump and Musk are taking your jobs away.

Have you heard about the biggest bank heist in history? Donald Trump is trying to pull it off right now. He wants to steal 20 billion of your dollars that are already working to cut energy bills and power the clean revolution.

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.

When the sitting president of the United States posts from his official White House account referring to himself as a king, we have to speak up, even if it feels like screaming into the void. But more importantly still, we all have to get out in protests in numbers that the media cannot ignore

Donald Trump just signed an executive order declaring that only the president or the Attorney General can speak for “what the law is.” Yeah, they’re telling us what they plan to do.

It’s not even been a month since Elon Musk’s inauguration. Sorry, it’s not even been a month since Trump’s inauguration — but it’s easy to forget with Musk getting access to everything he wants. Instead of giving into despair, put your anger to use: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

💥ATTENTION FEDS💥 All the termination letters going out that we've seen use "inadequate performance" as the reason for termination. SAVE YOUR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS. Tell your friends who aren't on bluesky! Probationary employees can't be fired for "poor performance" if their performance is not poor

It’s time to remind our representatives who they work for. During this week’s congressional recess, we’re hosting events across the nation (including Tesla dealerships). Find an event near you: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/... Everything you need to know is in our toolkit: indivisible.org/muskorus

Good morning friends. This morning is tough. So many missing faces. If going to work feels like a hard act of resistance it’s because it is. Working is resisting. Keep showing up! #resist

Spotlight these folks, and the work that won’t be done, and the people who will get screwed, now that they’re fired for no gd reason but greed and malice. Former USDA worker fired by Trump administration shares her story: youtu.be/d-KLZg2CH7E?...

Hey guys, let's give this page some love. Seems like a good one to follow. #fedsunite bsky.app/profile/feds...

State AGs are looking for federal workers who have just been illegally fired to stand as litigants in a new lawsuit trying to freeze further action by DOGE. DM me if that’s you and you’re interested and you’re live in one of the following states: NM, AZ, CA, CT, MD, MI, MN, NV, OR, WA, RI, or VT.

This should have read that the Trump administration doesn't want us to educate you, bc they are afraid that you will realize that they are trying to scam you.

We the people 💙

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent. Buy direct from authors. Get your files.
