I hope not because not only do I have money waiting for me in the Social Security fund, but many of those I love require their Social Security payments to LIVE! #SocialSecurity

Catchy story / poem from John Lithgow www.instagram.com/reel/DGbv8Lf...

Not a surprise, but definitely 💔. I expect them to be as reckless in making their timber chooses as they've been with their employee firings. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

One more before I return my focus to my regular work. #Ukraine

🪓 🪓 🪓 🪓 Remember, probationary doesn't equate to a bunch of 18 or 24-year-olds (not that they don't matter). When somebody has been in government for years, if not nearly an entire career, and they get a promotion, they are then re-classified as probationary. thehill.com/policy/energ...

President Trump just shut off funding for law enforcement, farmers, schools, veterans, and health care.
 We are working diligently to reverse this, but we are preparing for every outcome to help Minnesotans weather this storm. Minnesota needs answers. We’ll see Trump in court.

@worldslargest.bsky.social I can't imagine how topsy-turvy your world is becoming due to cuts in the grants world. Please, keep us aware!

@trescorvid.bsky.social i'm not posting much over here, but I'm weaning myself away from the other.

Happy Thanksgiving!

My first post here! While I believe in the words in this pic, I'll be more diligent about who I connect with here since this is NOT my work-related platform but my own personal space.
