This is very involved, but a good resource for all of us, I think: choosedemocracy.us/tracking-tra...

The scale and scope of Trump and Elon’s purge of federal workers will set our country back decades. You can't just fire everyone, gut critical agencies, halt funding to organizations across the country and think there won’t be massive consequences.

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at [email protected].

Sent the five bullets they requested.

🚨ACTION: Federal workers are receiving this email. 👇 SPREAD THE WORD: Have you been illegally terminated? Post 5 bullets about what you would have done this week tagged #LetUsWork. Let's help the public understand what they have lost. Tag us and we'll reshare! #AltGov

Who is ready to bring it?

Score: Mills 1, Trump 0. She’s 100% right on the law. Trump’s “We ARE the law” was way, way over the top. No, Mr. President, you are not. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 1965: After five years and seventy million dollars we have invented a new type of plastic that prevents communists from being able to climb ladders too fast FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 2025: My cure for cancer was shelved because it might benefit Hispanics

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Dear OPM FOIA staff - Remember to preserve all of these email responses, as we will be submitting FOIA requests for this consolidated compilation of information on what the entire federal government did last week. Thx - FOIA community

This is who Trump is firing (thread 1 of 3): (1/?) Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr. entered the Air Force in 1984. In his 41-year career, he's accumulated over 3,100 flight hours as a fighter pilot, in the F-16 & other fixed and rotary-wing aircraft. He has commanded a fighter squadron & 2 fighter wings.

Meanwhile in Boston, crowds shout DEPORT ELON…

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.

If I had to respond to an email as a federal employee asking me what I did at work last week, I'd make sure to list all the duties I had to absorb because of mass illegal firings, followed by a description of what the EPA's Walter Peck did in Ghostbusters.

Well that was a fun email. Five bullets of what we accomplished this week. To OPM? Happy Saturday?

When you respond with your 5 items, I highly recommend you send it with a read receipt. This will both give you documentation and bog down their email. Also, not sure what happens if you realize you have an error and send more than one or non-government emails respond….😉

Ok, so IRS got the 5 bullet points, justify your job, email. Our Union NTEU is saying to not respond at this point until National NTEU has a chance to assess the implications of responding. 1/2

Leland Dudek, a data analyst working in a small anti-fraud office who had been unknown to many of them, was sharing unauthorized access to information with representatives of Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service. Breaking the law is a feature, not a bug, for Trump & Musk.

Wise man…

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

UNBELIEVABLE

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

Former acting CIA Dir. Michael Morell In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an UNWITTING AGENT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION Trump is not only unqualified for the job, but may well pose a threat to our national security www.politico.com/story/2016/0...

More & more headlines like this emerging here in Germany. “Without America?” The tie between the USA & Europe is loosening & it could scarcely be nicer for Putin. What does it mean for Germany & its neighbours?”

Trump’s Pentagon purge has included the top military lawyers. Nobody should be surprised. Dictators politicize the military. Trump wants those with the biggest guns loyal to him, not the Constitution He says he’s demilitarizing it. I call BS. Orwellian to the core. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

While Trump is busy making problems worse, trampling our laws, and quoting dictators, Senate Republicans are turning a blind eye and—no they aren’t focused on the price of eggs—they're SPRINTING to pass tax cuts for billionaires.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

Odd how the turns have tabled… Trump reversed course and admitted that Russia did, in fact, invade Ukraine. International news sources and independent media have stepped up to keep Americans informed.

Igor Sushko: The United States appears to be in violation of the Budapest Memorandum which disarmed Ukraine of nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees. The agreement signed by the US in 1994 specifically prohibits economic coercion against Ukraine.

🚨BREAKING: @democracyforward.org sues on behalf of unions, retirees to block access to personal and sensitive data at SSA. This case comes after SSA commissioner stepped down due to concerns about DOGE accessing data. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

FOX NEWS: You are against people bringing in eggs that have not been-- I mean, we have the USDA for a reason. These could be contaminated and bring illnesses in. GALLEGO: Absolutely. This is why we shouldn't be firing USDA inspectors that are actually doing oversight over avian flu

"Trump’s second term in office is just one month old, but it is already clear that his return to the Oval Office could send massive financial windfalls to his wealthy campaign backers and political allies, as well as his own family and businesses." www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

VACCINES SAVE LIVES Vaccines ended the COVID-19 pandemic. Vaccines and other public health measures save the lives of millions of children worldwide. Do not let RFKJr and the Trump admin take us back to a time when 5 in 10 children died before the age of 5. theconversation.com/infectious-d...
