NBC News has obtained this notice from the State Department which instructs employees not to respond to the email that DOGE/Elon Musk sent to them. @yamiche.bsky.social

Star Trek has ALWAYS shown me that there’s Black people in the future.

The US government is now nonstop performative idiocracy.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

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.

Says the guy who won't even respond to the mothers of his own children

"What, are they gonna have to start doing Nazi salutes in public for the media to call them what they are???" -me, a naive baby

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I truly think people don’t realize how many universities and colleges — especially public ones — may shut down if restrictions on and withholding of federal funding persists for even one presidency We are facing the demolition of American higher education

Being black and aware in America is existing in a constant fugue state of being both unsurprised and endlessly tired.

Several good things are happening according r/fednews so I am going to drop them here. If federal workers are fighting back, how much more us? A thread/

If you missed this when The Atlantic first published it, now is a good time to read it. Gift link here so it’s free for anyone to read: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

“A desire to force U.S. military leaders to be obedient to him and not the Constitution is one of the constant themes of Trump’s military-related discourse.”

“What part of diversity, equity, and inclusion do you have a problem with?” www.science.org/content/arti...

A federal judge blocked Trump's sweeping executive order ending government support for DEI programs

It cannot be overstated how messed up it is that the U.S. is trying to extort an allied country, that is in the middle of a war for survival, and trying to get them to sign over their natural resources, or get cut off from military support and communication infrastructure. America is a mafia state.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

The video is a bit confusing but the rear car has modified his vehicle to project the anti elon, anti cybertruck images onto every cybertruck he sees

?? david guetta already did this

No, the mail is not “the least of our worries.” It’s a fucking important worry. It is the only postal service that delivers to every address. They are only provider of complete mail services for overseas military bases and provide free overseas PO boxes. They help prepare passport apps. Ship meds…

How naive does one need to be to expect the GOP to fix their mess?

After I had to explain that becoming a federal food safety inspector requires education and on the job training, it became incredibly clear that people have no idea how much time federal employees spend preventing mass deaths

Breaking — The Social Security Administration is dissolving its Office of Analytics Review and Oversight effective 2pm today, an agency source tells me. In a meeting leadership claimed it was part of government-wide mission to “align missions better” & said it was the first of many changes to come.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

✨New Waspaganda✨ Despite their demonization, Vespid wasps are hardworking ladies who work together to get it done & fulfill their niche (pollinating, hunting, defending). I believe they are powerful symbols for worker resistance & deserve more respect. Get it: Lindzeamays.com/printshop 🐡🕷️🐝🌱

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

So tired of seeing the words “Breaking” 😭

lol if you vote for a racist, what are we supposed to think? 🤔

Why is the media acting like this is all normal?!

Trump accuses federal workers of “playing golf.” He spent the last three weekdays golfing.

Which billionaire are you most excited to die on the battlefield for?

Remember when Mitch McConnell said this? Oh wait, no, he was too busy twisting every rule he could to delay and deny the Democratic process. The old rules of decorum in politics are no longer in effect. Haven't been for a while. Dems need to switch strategies, like yesterday.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

What happens if the US pulls out of the International Space Station early? What would this mean for multinational partnerships in space?

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

Report: You Live In An Embarrassing Country

And what’s more: I am 32 years old. I am so young. I am just starting to blossom in my life. I have worked so hard. I won’t cede the prime of my life to these motherfuckers. Not when I have been blessed with the resources to not have to.

I cannot emphasize enough that the New York City subway is not scary. It’s one of my favorite parts of living here. I grew up in the suburbs having to drive on highways everywhere and that’s way scarier

BREAKING — I've confirmed the DOGE staffers at SSA. They are Marko Elez (who was previously fired for racist posts and then reinstated), Ethan Shaotran, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gautier Cole-Killian. This is per Social Security Works, a non-profit working to protect/expand Social Security.
