Agree. Last wk I listed everything that’s made me a proud American over the yrs, even if I found out later we haven’t lived up to some. This admin is doing all it can to tear down every one of those things. What are they replacing it with? What makes you proud about their actions? For me? Zip.

NEW: We compiled and confirmed a list of some of the top people working inside the govt under the banner of DOGE. We even uncovered a DOGE-branded chatbot on one of the employees’ personal websites. As always, reach us if you have a tip or know what’s going on. ✌️ techcrunch.com/2025/02/18/t...

I think we really need to repeat, and keep top of mind - The federal employee firings are NOT ABOUT SAVING MONEY. What is spent on those employees is peanuts compared to most of the money in the government. Firing federal employees sows confusion, depletes morale, and degrades government service.

1. Hat tip to @jayjaylegal.bsky.social for reminding me that the actions of P4547 and DOGE are mostly illegal. We need to call things what they are. They’re not “freezing funding,” they’re obstructing lawful business of the US, breaking contracts, siphoning $ to who knows where. 🧵

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

When he died, I was a student at a visual and performing arts magnet in Los Angeles. Our teachers honored him by painting a mural based on his work, and as I get older and older I become more grateful that through their grief they gave us this gift of knowing his art.

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)

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
