A full third of federal government employees are veterans. Elon and co think fed employees are a bunch of granola eating liberals but they're sorely mistaken. Rendering hundreds of thousands of veterans unemployed with cuts to their VA healthcare and no job prospects is a recipe for an insurgency.

Hundreds of workers at the CDC. More than 1,000 at the NIH. Scores of staffers at the FDA. Trump’s purge of federal employees includes those doing lifesaving work. Many of them expressed fear at what would happen to the projects they left behind. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

I can’t remember the exact phrasing from 20 yrs ago (and it probably didn’t age well so that might be best) but it was something like: “equality is not when every brilliant Black/woman/queer person can be a leader, it’s when the mediocre ones get the same jobs mediocre white men do”

The insinuation from the Times is that if you're black, that's why you got the job you have. This kind of shit is why they don't get my fucking money any more.

The NYT got caught pushing Trump propaganda—again. They presented Javon Evans, the communications director for Houston Young Republicans, as just a random Black voter who loves Trump. When @owillis.bsky.social called them out, they quietly edited the article with ✨ zero ✨ accountability.

The way other female conservative influencers are turning on Ashley St. Clair, leaking her texts, and smearing her should be a sign to any conservative woman that a movement built on misogyny will not protect you. That your female peers will weaponize misogyny against you, too.

I just laughed for a solid five minutes at the idea of over 2 million people being told "reply to this email with the work you did" and it being called a management strategy. Is there a reddit somewhere with what people are actually replying with?

Trump today: “nobody’s ever seen anything” like his administration’s firing of thousands of federal employees and he congratulated himself for “dominating” Washington and sending bureaucrats “packing.” He’s a sociopath who delights in the suffering of others. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/22/n...

NEW — The National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 282 just emailed its ~8,000 employee members strongly advising them NOT to reply to the “What did you do last week?” email from OPM/Musk.

I am inundated with messages from federal workers who are feeling frantic, furious and fed up after receiving Musk’s email and reading his threatening X post. The psychological warfare is the point.

Social Security has a payment accuracy rate of over 99 percent. Only 0.3 percent of Social Security benefits are improper payments, which are typically caused by mistakes or delays. That's better than any private insurance company. www.cbpp.org/blog/setting...

Trump is apparently sending this to all Federal employees with a Monday midnight deadline. Aside from its utter absurdity, my question is does the Donald have to address this too? Because with all that golf I’m not so sure he wants to be put under the same scrutiny.🤔

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.
