Just in case I have followers who don’t get it! The ethos of public service is embedded throughout the civil service workforce, and it produces dedication that those who are simply chasing dollars cannot understand. Here’s an NWS employee set up for a long term event. They have their go bags!

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable. University presidents need to be speaking out, collectively & loudly about this, in DC, right now.

PORTLAND: Tesla will be exhibiting vehicles at the Oregon International Auto Show, starting today and running through the end of the weekend. People use this event to survey the market for new vehicles ahead of purchasing, so it's an ideal place to interrupt potential new Tesla sales. #TeslaTakedown

A real struggle right now is thinking that the people in charge just want the US to be the us with more white guys in charge when in truth they want to destroy democracy

Yes. I’ve persuaded my church to set up a weekly “open house” for drop-in solidarity, no agenda, just to chat. (A very easy task, to be clear; it’s a progressive congregation.) Actions grow from community.

Time to revive those old slogans: Silence = Complicity. And Silence = Death.

Maine has the largest proportion of seniors in the US and Trump is threatening to take away their earned benefits

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

The federal workforce is under attack from the Trump administration. But who are federal workers? 🔹 ~3 million people 🔹 93% work outside of DC 🔹 Diverse representation of race & age 🔹 Top occupation: medical/public health www.epi.org/blog/a-snaps...

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

They cannot withstand four years of this. We gotta get real comfortable with radical annoyance. Get vocal. Get involved. Show up. They will buckle. Doesn’t have to be all of them. Just enough. McCain was enough for one vote. But it’s going to take unprecedented fortitude to salvage our democracy.
