👀 NEW: the current under secretary of State for Management, Ambassador Tibor Nagy, has sent an email regarding OPM's request for five accomplishments: "No employee is obligated to report their activities outside of their department chain of command."

Hilarious. After the DOGErs set up the new government-wide all employee email system in late January OPM, where it is housed, sent out an advisory which states explicitly that no employee ever has to respond to any of the emails. See 4.2 and 4.3. www.opm.gov/media/kfpozk...

Musk demanding work report letters from all federal employees doesn't sound like just emails to run a script and look for "trans" and other banned words - it sounds like the attempt to create another data set for his AI learning.

@altnps.bsky.social I am thinking about the post for federal workers to log in and report this weekend…I agree with all the notices to ignore it that are going around, but I had another thought to share with you. We need to deny him coverage. Not only is Elon getting a high posting and…🧵

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The resignation of a federal employee must be voluntary. I highly doubt failure to respond to this email---sent on a Saturday---would be understood by any court to be a voluntary resignation.

From Forest Service… Some employees terminated last week, who have cried, terminated leases, found new jobs, and moved…Are getting called back to work. Rumor is 300 people. “It was a mistake.” Seems like these employees work in forest management (timber). Screenshot from an unknown acct.

You can really feel the anti-Trump sentiment building, and it's not Kitchen-Table Americans complaining about egg prices, it's about the contempt for the rule of law, the reckless cuts, the abandonment of allies, the mistreatment of other Americans

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Eliminating accountability for crooked and abusive cops means your priority is protecting crooked and abusive cops instead of the communities they’ve harmed. This is a fascist police state tactic.

And this is why Musk wants all our data for his AI - both to practice and refine it and to create a known link of our identity to information that can be scrapped and is out there already. Other than controlling the future and being racist, we know nothing else of his intent - but this is for AI.
