There is no good reason to terminate these employees. Seriously. WTF?

News is tearing across my professional circles this afternoon. For those not involved in the weather enterprise, I need you to understand something: seansublette.substack.com/p/bloodbath-...

Now that I’ve been illegally terminated from the EPA and I no longer fear for the job that was stolen from me, I can scream from the rooftops that this man is a spineless crooked waste of air (air that he’ll be choking on soon because who needs regulations and science? Air quality be damned.)

Feds, take care of yourself. If you have any feelings of harming yourself, please call or text 988. Or call 1 800 273 8255! This Fed loves you guys and wants you to be here. Be kind to yourself, #altgov

This is fun

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

You can lead a unicorn to whimsy, but you can’t make it drink.

Hello. Democratic and Justice Officials. Heads up regular tax-paying citizens. This is how coups work. COUP. We are in a COUP and about to lose America. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

I’m starting to see rumblings of suicides on r/fednews. While it can’t be confirmed I fear it’s true after the toxicity & mental terrorism civil servants endured these past few weeks only to be laid off. We’ve been demonized & some of our fellow Americans are laughing at our expense. It’s a lot.

I have an irrational fear of anglerfish. This random phobia started in my middle school library when I was looking at a deep sea book. Thanks to the anglerfish making the news & inspiring everyone, my feed is filled with my worst fear. Talk about exposure therapy. #anglerfish #dontgointothelight

Took my macro lens out for the first time in a bit today as we’re getting some beautiful snowflakes here in NC #snow #winter #snowflakes #macrophotography #photography #nature

This is a growing list of projects from this ridiculously evil administration’s implementation of Project 2025. You can view each agency by using the filter. EPA saddened me. DOD rattled me. www.project2025.observer

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Please stop shaming federal workers for their decisions to stay and fight or resign in protest. You don't know their lives or what they have the privilege of doing. It's like yelling at a rape survivor for not reporting.

I’ve spent a lot of time observing Bald Eagles at Jordan Lake. They are incredible, stoic and powerful creatures. As I watch what’s happening in this country right now, I just don’t feel the United States deserves this raptor as its national symbol. 🪶

Federal workers, we recognize that this is an unpredictable time. Our team is actively pairing your tips with reporters on this list and across our newsroom to make sure you're speaking to someone with the right expertise. How to get in touch:

Thank you, AG 💙 I personally did not protest today because my anxiety has been crippling since I lost my job on Friday. But I appreciate everyone who did, and I’m working on energizing myself to join the fight very soon.

This female Northern Harrier was sitting in the grass, then she took flight! I love this shot! #birds 🦉 #birdphotography #photography #nikon #NikonD500 #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #birders #birdwatching #photographer #birdsofbluesky #newmexico #northernharrier

See below advice. I logged in at 5p after my supervisor alerted me and said I’d have access until 7p. I saw the email, felt distraught and logged out but at least had the foresight to save the email as I lost access immediately after seeing the message and closing down my computer.

I want all the fascist collaborators in the federal government snitching on their colleagues to know: we're watching you, and we're keeping lists.

Update on probationary fires. 388 employees so far have been terminated by the agency. The agency initially told reporters this number was closer to 500. thehill.com/policy/energ...

I lost my job at the US EPA today. Thousands of others received the same news in the last 24 hours. Please keep all civil servants in your hearts right now, whether they lost their jobs or are still employed. The last few weeks have been hostile, and we’re all hurting.
