I have never seen a more embarrassing quote from a *UNION LEADER*. How are Teamsters okay with this SOB?

Donald Trump is a Russian asset; it no longer matters if it’s witting or unwitting. He routinely spreads disinformation that originates in the Kremlin and the FSB, and does it to hurt America and our friends. If you support Trump, you have—morally speaking—betrayed your country.

Henceforth, any plane that lands and flips will be known as the Fetterman landing.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

Every single attorney who advocates for the defiance of court orders should be DISBARRED. Immediately. Every. Single. One.

The only time I’m upset in living in a blue spot—I can’t move the national needle by calling my own reps. I still call. But I would work the hell outta my regional accent if I could.

This guy (I keep retyping: “this kid” um, he’s all growed up “this young man” ew, what am I, 80?) is such an inspiration to me. Take what happened, learn what matters to you, use your passion, make a difference. Don’t quit. Change the world for the better. I’m trying.

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable.

So, employee-led, 100% voluntary, affinity groups are now disbanded. We can’t have the equivalent of a book club at work. The weaponized capricious firing has everyone obeying in advance.

Jesus jumping jiminy cricket, it’s still forking January.

These are not “settlements” they are “bribes” and should be described accurately. The reporting even explains that CBS executives believe this payment will help avert Trump blocking their merger. Thats a bribe. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/b...

The advice I was given: “Tell them *you* respect them, but maybe they could just. You know. Use a different bathroom on a different floor so that no one has to have a confrontation.” My response, quietly while 100% full eye contact: if you say that, you do not respect them.

So how’s it going so far?

Welcome to the first verse of the godsdamned “They came for the” poem. If you aren’t a federal employee, you’re watching it happen. So what are you doing?
