America, thank you for speaking up for us! The National Park Service will exempt certain workers from Trump’s federal hiring freeze, including seasonal law enforcement rangers and public safety dispatchers.

Because this is getting downplayed in some of the coverage, the racist staffer DOGE rehired isn’t a case of “stupid things he wrote years ago as a teen.” He posted about how we should “normalize Indian hate” IN SEPTEMBER.

In an email obtained by NPR, employees at EPA's Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights were told they were on administrative leave, effective immediately.

Musk’s team—Christopher Young, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gavin Kliger—is currently at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). This move comes just months after Musk posted “Delete CFPB” on his X social media platform.

The offer to federal workers to resign and keep pay and benefits is a "scam," says Randy Erwin of the National Federation of Federal Employees.

This thread sums up my own despair but I also see no path here that does not also spur significant public and govt violence. We're putting millions of ppl in positions of either utter despair or in self-imagined vigilante roles, and Congress has very little time left to defuse that bomb.

Someone I know said “I’d rather have another Civil War than another Holocaust” and that statement has been haunting me for the past week.

Please call your Representative and Senators and tell them to get Elon Musk and the doggie boys the the fuck out of VA! youtube.com/shorts/zbeDp...

Federal agencies are sending out sample contract agreements to their employees in what appears to be an effort to alleviate doubts. But some of the language differs from the original offer.

If you voted Republican, and you care about your country, please act rather than rationalize. Unless you cast your ballot so that South African oligarchs could steal your data, money, country, and future, tell your elected officials that you wanted something else. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

“State Dept. Fires About 60 Contractors Working on Democracy and Human Rights.”

Not too long ago, Elon was doxing government employees on X. Where was the outcry of “You’re breaking the law” then? These employees feared for their families’ safety.

A President cannot unilaterally abolish a government agency via executive order. Should Trump try to do this to the Department of Education, Democrats in Congress are going to fight tooth and nail to stop him. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

The ACLU, along with immigration legal aid groups, Monday filed the first major lawsuit against the Trump administration’s proclamation of an “invasion” at the southern border to justify expelling migrants and preventing them from claiming asylum.

Thank you, @jonkingnews.bsky.social. I just wanted to clarify that there are other healthcare data analysts/researchers/etc who are working on similar data archiving projects as well. None of this should be necessary, but here we are.

President Trump is considering declaring a national “economic emergency” to justify implementing a series of universal tariffs and establishing the Department of Government Efficiency.

Trump is considering executive action to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

"Reminder: DOGE Is a Fictitious Agency with Entirely Fictitious Power. And Yet... Elon Musk’s allies are starting to run amok inside the U.S. government."

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

How is Trump hoping to improve air safety?!

Could I ask for your help? A theme of Trump's 2024 campaign for president was his threats to investigate, prosecute and imprison perceived enemies. I reported that he made more than 100 such threats. I'm going to continue to track these threats post-election. If you see/hear examples, let me know!

You may not like it, but Leah's right. There's a reason the Prodigal Son is a parable in almost every culture. when someone experiencing cognitive dissonance comes to you, you have two choices: embrace them, and win them over forever; or reject them, ensuring they never again question their beliefs.

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— Oh wait.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Please share: We’ve received word that Elon Musk’s staffers are using space characters to identify information leakers. Before sharing any information, please use a checker to detect and remove these.

For all federal employees: Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs. If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

I finished it! Now to frame it and hang it up!

Donald Trump was a threat to our democracy on November 4th. Donald Trump is still a threat to our democracy today, no matter what some in the media may say.

I don’t care how many cases against him get dropped, delayed or buried. He’s guilty as sin and the whole world knows it.

It’s disheartening to witness such short-sightedness from some…

"Each of Trump's proposed appointments is a surprise. It is comforting to think that he is simply a vengeful old man, lashing out. This is unlikely. He and Musk and Putin have been talking for years. The whole idea of his campaign was that this time he had a plan" snyder.substack.com/p/decapitati...

Almost done! Just have that last 10% to go!
