🚨911 Federal Employees Here is how you respond to the email.... #revolution2025

submitted 1 day ago • 14 comments

Federal workers are held accountable to their supervisors and the American people - not Elon Musk and his DOGE cronies. It’s time for my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to stand up for our civil servants. It’s time to #pushback. See part one of my message here:

As their ranks diminish, park rangers say fewer employees could mean long entry lines, dirty bathrooms and potentially unsafe conditions for hikers and campers.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Waking up to the start of a new workweek. Reminders: 1) employees who have been terminated have the right to a performance appraisal. Be sure to give them one. 2) terminated employees can send any appraisal refuting their letter up the chain of command (including HR and Dep. Dir.). Make a record.

Go NTEU! Doreen Greenwald is a powerful voice fighting for our rights as feds. “All of these orders are further evidence that this administration is motivated not by efficiency, but by cruelty and a total disregard for the government services that will be lost,” Greenwald said.

A former U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service employee speaks out: “It's just little chess pieces, some funny little game to them. There Is going to be nothing left of this country by the end of the week. It's time we stand up, before it's too late.” Please speak up: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

I just got a report that a terminated employee from another agency got their job back after replying to the termination email with their good perf appraisal. If you are still connected, might as well try. It makes for good documentation if nothing else. Let me know. So far only this one anecdote.

This negotiation between the US and Russia, and cutting out Ukraine, is just like when Trump cut out Afghanistan and negotiated with Taliban. We see how that “good deal” turned out. Afghanistan was on Trump Every Trump deal fails

Again and again, these GOP senators are choosing to remain silent or outright enable the shredding of our Constitution and dismantling of our government because they care more about the billionaires who will benefit than they do about us. And all of these senators are facing re-election next year.

Thought for the Day – February 15 Joy is an act of resistance. In a world that seeks to wear us down, to keep us fearful, to steal our sense of possibility—choosing joy is defiance. It is proof that we are still here, still human, still capable of feeling something beyond survival. #Resist #Feds

Here is the oath all executive branch employees take. It is to support and defend the Constitution, not to “implement the president’s agenda.” If the two purposes diverge, the Constitution prevails.

Public servants unlawfully fired without due cause bravely coming forward on Facebook, Reddit, and here in Bluesky. Just type in “usfs losing job” on any of the sites, if you can bear to sit with their dashed hopes. They want to be heard. Thank you @amonthei.bsky.social for helping them be heard.

📣Hey journalists who want to cover the 3400 federal employees who just got fired📣 I’m developing a list of folks who were fired and who are down for interviews, primarily trails, river rangers and some folks who did collateral fire duties as needed (as of right now). DM me if you need sources!

The administration’s cruelty and devastation continues to spread across the federal workforce. Today we learned that probationary employees in the park service, 8 in Acadia NP alone, were terminated for no reason. These are people’s lives. This is wrong on so many levels.

Many research-level scientists have 3 year probationary terms. I've been hearing from other agencies that scientists leading labs have been purged. There is no plan for continuation of research projects, for finishing manuscripts in the midst of being written. The amount of loss is staggering.

4️⃣2⃣ days. Not a single vote to lower costs. House GOP leadership is playing politics with people’s lives. It’s time to listen to the American people and vote on legislation that makes life more affordable.

Just because you're not hearing about it, doesn't mean it's not happening. Distraught on behalf of the heathcare workers who have to take care of these probably adorable but very sick, highly contagious, germy munchkins...and then go home and try not to infect their own kids with a deadly disease.

Another helpful, constructive post about what we can do to resist and how to keep up with the news without overwhelm. The best quote: “Despair and believing that you are powerless is a form of “obeying in advance” (Timothy Snyder’s term) which ensures the victory of autocracy.”

Feeling stressed? Yeah. Me too. Here’s a reminder to take breaks, do things you love, and connect with family and friends during this time, if you can. STRESS measurably increases inflammatory markers. These are strongly correlated with cardiovascular risk. journals.lww.com/bsam/fulltex...

Elon Musk has reportedly spent $40M on a series of Superbowl ads airing tonight attacking USAID's "wasteful spending." We may not have millions of dollars but between all of us, we do have a massive global network. Here are just a few ways USAID could have spent $40M: m.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...

Top 11 ways you can #Resist today: 11. Get educated on what is actually happening. Follow the news, but also insider accounts (#ALTgov) and others. 10. Be intentional about where you spend your money. Don’t support businesses that support this Administration or have caved to anti-DEIA rhetoric.

USAID foreign aid spending is ~ 1% of the federal budget. USAID not only provides life saving food and medicine to millions, it protects our health by funding pandemic preparedness, and fighting narcotics’ trade. If you’re looking to cut “waste” look elsewhere. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

USAID was founded by JFK to fight the Kremlin -- by helping countries all over the world, rather than having them fall under Soviet dominance. The Kremlin has wanted to kill USAID ever since. Don't fall for anti-USAID propaganda -- it all comes from PUTIN.
