"“Who knew that the fight against tyranny was me looking at some spreadsheets and trying to make Americans healthier?” another said. It was on. “They just created the imaginary deep state they convinced everyone they were fighting against.”" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

become ungovernable

It's also not "saving" money if Congress passed a law determining what should be spent. That is annulling the authority of the only actor allowed to tax and given power to determine how taxes are used.

😡

Yet more ways for the cost of food to go up.

If you're going to protests, buy a burner phone.

Musk sure didn't like it when ProPublica got access to his taxpayer data though. Reminder DOGE isn't a real government entity and there's an actual organization designed to track govt efficiency. It's a data mining operation.

These are the absolute worst people.

Well, I, for one, am SHOCKED. SHOCKED, I say. 😑

It's been a week. The shock part is over; the awe part never happened. Time to be throwing sand into the fascist gears, y'all.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

Feds Against Facism! Show up Monday and let them know.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

“Be careful. When a democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but it is not to inquire about its health.” Albert Camus

The guidance on implementation is pretty much: "Don't." Go Army!

If you believe that you are not among the people who will be actively hurt by the destruction of the federal govt, you are profoundly misinformed.

The lawsuit alleges the migrants have been "disappeared into a black box" and are unable to communicate with attorneys.

Screw Google for capitulating to this childish nonsense.

There is a new documentary on Sly and the Family Stone coming out on HULU this Thursday. I just heard this song and it seemed rather timely.

Good question, no?

Posted around NYC, Chicago, DC and other cities. Be creative. Do something!

He's not wrong.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

Yes he is.

If your boss or company tells you to do something unethical: don't say yes. Make them write it down.

More of this please.

The NIH has a predoctoral fellowship called the F31. A subsection (F31 Diversity) is earmarked for diverse candidates, many of whom would have been a shoe-in for regular fellowships. All those applications are being thrown out rather than integrated into the larger pool. Segregation is the point.

The CSR comm I'm on just pulled all Diversity F grants from the current review cycle. These apps are reviewed alongside (and by the same criteria) as all other F grants. So, instead of helping these trainees, they will actually be punished by having their grant reviews delayed at least 1 cycle !?!?

If you have questions about the NIH F31 grant situation, @sweeneytoddsgf.bsky.social is affected and is kindly explaining.

People really need to stop following their "orders." Drag this shit out, people. Slow your roll. Comply...very...slowly...🐌🐢🦥

Breathe.

I like to think the US Treasury has security guards. How did Musk and company just walk in there and to these other federal offices? It doesn't matter what Trump said; they're not authorized to hack these institutions. Will other agencies have more security?

The CIA should have sent a list with every name redacted.

It's astonishing to me as well to find myself rooting for the CIA.

Breaking News: Cows in Nevada have been infected with a new form of bird flu, indicating that the virus may pose a more persistent risk to people than thought.

I have also been wondering this. What they're doing is illegal.

Stop pretending this is normal

Call it what it is, people.

www.facebook.com/share/p/181z... This makes a lot of sense.

This is an excellent summary of our situation, which is quite bad. It’s not just that they’re breaking laws. They’re breaking laws that are centrally important to our constitutional order and are constitutive of its identity. They are targeting the best parts of what democracy has built here.

With most of the shit he pulls, Musk can protect himself with the corporate veil. If SpaceX drops a rocket on your house, you're going to sue SpaceX, not him. But when operating outside of those protections you need a different kind of shield. I wonder if these kids realize that they're it.

Hello!

STOP ROLLING OVER.
