Looking to help people being targeted by the Trump administration? Support Whistleblower Aid (@wbaidlaw.bsky.social). They protect courageous citizens who risk everything to defend our democracy. The legal non-profit has proven track record & needs support to keep combatting this Administration.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Elon Musk has shut down a team of tech-savvy civil servants responsible for developing the IRS’s free tax-filing service and improving government websites. As a result, 90 employees were immediately locked out of their devices and informed that their jobs were deemed non-essential.

With corporate media capitulating to trump, and subscribers cancelling their subscription to the wapo, where can we get news from trusted sources? Downtown Nasty Women Social Group has created “Trusted Sources” list. Here’s their recommended list and please consider subscribing to them:

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

@flashes.blue How do I add photos to Flashes?

@suzyqfit4u.bsky.social @drdenagrayson.bsky.social @philehr.bsky.social @floridamomof2.bsky.social @proud-to-be-purple.bsky.social @julie3500.bsky.social @lakerpatrick.bsky.social @ladykatherine.bsky.social @yoksig.bsky.social @openpodbaydoor.bsky.social @democracyworker.bsky.social

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

GOP says NO to healthcare, NO to helping Americans buy houses, NO to school lunch, NO to jobs, NO to funding bird flu vax research, NO to what Americans need 💔 #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #BlueCrew #FightBack @tammywnc.bsky.social TY

Future Speaker Bae Hakeem Jeffries couldn’t be clearer after Republicans passed their reckless budget Cuts to Medicaid and SNAP make it crystal clear that REPUBLICANS DON’T CARE ABOUT US 🔥

Leadership is doubling down, but GOP members are getting nervous about the budget’s extreme unpopularity. You can call your Representative now at 202-224-3121.

The time is NOW! The House is pushing a vote as early as today, that may bring us one step closer to gutting Medicaid. One vote could tip the scales. Speak up NOW—tell Congress: Vote NO to cut Medicaid! Call Today: 866-426-2631. #HandsOffMedicaid

#ACTION The chairs of the Senate & House Appropriations Committees have enormous power over the illegal impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress. They need to be relentlessly contacted at their offices, in person and by phone. 1. Susan Collins (R-ME). Call her every day until this stops.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

I signed up for the soon to be released Flashes app for photos and videos on BlueSky.

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)

RESIST FASCISM

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

ATTN HHS EMPLOYEES: Firing notices are going out. I am in receipt of an email saying they will revoke your access as soon as you read the email that you've been fired. Please download everything you need before you open that email. SHARE FAR & WIDE. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/attn-hhs-e...

Not enough law firms is the answer. My law firm, @eliaslawgroup.bsky.social, will fight for democracy and would never work for Musk or any of the entities he controls. Big law, who is with us?

Conflict of interest? The State Department’s procurement forecast lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to purchase $400 million worth of “Armored Tesla” vehicles.

The GOP budget is out. Republicans recently promised to love and cherish Medicaid. Their actual plan is to destroy it.

Here’s a graphic I found that illustrates the point… Musk targeting these agencies is no accident.

THIS is the man who could put extreme MAGAS in charge of the State Supreme Court in Wisconsin! 🗳️ Make your voice heard on April 1 and vote FOR Susan Crawford.

Trump: “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One.” BREAKING: US inflation heats up to 3%, higher than expected.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

This. Civil disobedience.

If we retake the House, we have turned back the coup! So push hard. Three elections, TWO coming up April 1. That's just a few weeks away. 1: Here's Gay Valimont's website. #FL01 >> gayforcongress.com

Although the federal courts have blocked Trump's efforts to destroy birthright citizenship for millions of Americans, his campaign to harass & vilify immigrants continues. Immigrant families should know their rights. I've convened a webinar to inform you & your loved ones on what you need to know.

With all of the Trump/Musk mayhem, don't ignore the GOP's continued assault on free and fair elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
