House Democrats have just introduced the Taxpayer Data Protection Act. What will H.R. 1101 do? Stop the extremists from stealing your name, address, birthdate, Social Security number and bank account information from the Treasury Department.

@dailyyonder.bsky.social yinzall gonna start posting here yet or?

Just a reminder that if you’re a smart kid from Appalachia, dreaming of getting a PhD from places like Pitt et al is sometimes your only hope of escaping your circumstances.

For those who don't know... During the time of the Coal Wars - they dropped bombs and poison gas on the people of Appalachia to quell our 'rebellion'. The president at the time, Warren Harding, didn't really care much about rules against using the military to kill civilians.

A common myth about Appalachian people is the idea that they're all white. Affrilachia: Testimonies, a book of photographs by Chris Aluka Berry, counters that myth by showing how black people are very much a part of the history and culture of Appalachia.

I use the term 'Gun Thug' a lot, and I realize some of you might not know what that means. 'Gun Thug' refers to private gunslingers deputized by the government specifically to kill Appalachians and break strikes. They enjoyed the work and posed for a great many pictures during the time. Just a few

“Over a quarter million federal employees are stationed in rural counties across the country in positions like park rangers, field biologists, or grazing managers, just to name a few.”

some of you bitches are very dumb but also I don’t think you should be persecuted by America’s pastiest squad of Nazi bigots

Dear OPM FOIA staff - Remember to preserve all of these email responses, as we will be submitting FOIA requests for this consolidated compilation of information on what the entire federal government did last week. Thx - FOIA community

Our latest: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Please consider reading and sharing. No paywall.

It is insanely obvious that Elon Musk is illegally exercising the powers of a principal officer of the United States in violation of the appointments clause

It’s forgotten now but conservatives were showing up to events wearing hoodies and carrying skittles to mock a dead child after his murder made the news.

Pretty sure non-.gov emails will be quickly filtered out, but we can still use this as a chance to be obnoxious AND maybe reflect on our week. Just don’t include any specifics that put the work you are doing in danger. “Volunteered on [issue]” fine, “met with [org & location]” not so much.

NEW — The National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 282 just emailed its ~8,000 employee members strongly advising them NOT to reply to the “What did you do last week?” email from OPM/Musk.

Blessed are they who stand before The corrupt and the wicked and do not falter. #dragonage

Posted by @rothschildmd.bsky.social on another platform: “The entire federal government now apparently reports to Elon Musk, who is not the president, doesn't run DOGE according to Trump administration court filings, has no authority to remove federal employees, and tweets all day.”

I am inundated with messages from federal workers who are feeling frantic, furious and fed up after receiving Musk’s email and reading his threatening X post. The psychological warfare is the point.

Murderbot is getting an adaptation! I highly recommend the books if you haven't already read them - they're fairly short, but chock-full of good laughs and action. "As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure." - Murderbot, All Systems Red

Parents of students with disabilities: you should be contacting your child’s district office - not the individual schools, the superintendent and director of pupil services or equivalent - and asking what their plan is if federal funds for special education are eliminated. They BETTER have a plan.

This micro aggression IS psychological warfare and force people to resign. Trump and Musk need to explain to the American public how much time and money they have wasted on EO/DOGE non-core work related items just indulged the whims of self indulged, wannabe dictator!

It'd be a godawful shame if "hr at opm dot gov" was flooded with emails right now.

Yeah, this is the one
