This is outrageous. Federal employees are under siege by Trump and Musk. Does anyone know if there are groups of lawyers providing pro bono assistance to federal employees under attack?

Trump administration is planning to use polygraphs to assess federal employee loyalty. There are ways to manipulate polygraph results, and we will provide guidance to coalition members. Polygraph results are not admissible in court due to their potential for false positives and negatives.

"U.S.A.I.D. employees, who mostly joined the agency in hopes of making the world a better place, are in agony," our columnist @nickkristof.bsky.social writes. "'We're just paralyzed,' an agency employee in Africa told me. 'No one is in charge.'"

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Hey everyone. It’s Feb 3rd, and the Democrats have been at home since Jan 24th because the house is out of session. They should have come back, the place is on fire. Get suing, messaging, demonstrating, speaking, everything and ANYTHING

We are deeply concerned about the current state of our country. As civil servants, we are doing everything in our power to resist, even if it costs us our jobs. We are proud to be Americans, but what is happening right now does not reflect the values we, as Americans, stand for!

Musk and his team have hostilely taken over OPM. Tonight’s email to fed employees mirrors the “Fork in the Road” message sent to Twitter (now X) staff after Musk’s 2022 takeover. He is working with the Trump administration to build profiles on federal workers based on loyalty (political standing).

While we may face repercussions for this, the truth lies in the metadata. Memos to federal employees are being authored by individuals with ties to Project 2025. You can verify this yourself.

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

Want to make a triple impact? Drop Amazon Prime and join the ACLU. Stop giving your $$ to Bezos, support ACLU’s legal challenges to Trump’s unconstitutional actions, and you’ll save $$ by thinking twice about an Amazon purchase if you have to pay for shipping!

Reminiscent of the Nazis rewarding citizens for spying and reporting on neighbors, colleagues and family members. This is what 49% of those who voted wanted as their leader.
