The Postal Service is more than just mail delivery—it’s a cornerstone of our democracy and has been integral to our nation for 250 years. We're committed to #FightLikeHell to protect it and continue proudly serving all who rely on us. #HellNo to dismantling USPS! wapo.st/4ibeQPO

Yeah, no shit. That asshole's gonna end up goin' fah a swim in BAH-stin Haa-Bah.

He’s really picking the wrong city to fuck with this time. bsky.app/profile/atru...

So far, there have been at least 29 million illnesses and 370,000 hospitalizations related to the #flu and 16,000 deaths to date. www.upi.com/Health_News/...

Correct. My European friends are quite reasonably appalled when I tell them that in the US you have to spend down your assets paying for nursing care until you qualify for Medicaid, and only then will Medicaid pay for nursing home care, while Medicare pays for medical treatments.

Did you know that Medicare does NOT pay for long-term care. NOPE. 2/3s of longterm care for your parents is paid by MEDICAID. If you want Medicaid cut, your parents wiil need to move into your house when they need long-term care & YOU will be providing it.

Oooh Karly, I've never loved you any more than I do right now! 👏👏👍👍💙

A quick act of resistance against this nonsense, as well as a show of solidarity with our fellow Americans who are federal civil service workers, is to send five things you accomplished this last week to [email protected] …and go.

This is cool. When the doggy boyz finally get all the emails out and they all arrive (in a week or two), all the employees should save their responses and then simultaneously click "send". The mail servers will really enjoy that!

Emails to federal government employees have begun to hit inboxes, asking employees what they completed last week. Musk says failure to respond will be considered resignation — CBS News

Call your electeds now. And follow @altnps.bsky.social

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

The majority of the funds the United States has allocated for Ukraine stays in the United States to fund domestic defense industrial base and replenish US stockpiles.[16]

Sometimes I think Elon’s insatiable, toddler-like need for attention is a minor blessing. Without him, Project 2025 would be rolling out a lot more quietly. Most people don’t pay attention to politics, even during an election cycle, but they’re sure paying attention with his nonsense in the media.

NEW: FBI Director Kash Patel will also serve as the Acting Director of ATF - ABC/FOX

House Republicans are preparing a budget package that calls for $2 trillion in cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. That’s TRILLION. With a T.

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

"Hey guys, the boss wants us to send this email to every federal employee all at the same time." "Get out! What the fuck does he think this is, Gmail? Did you tell him it won't work?" "Of course not! He would fire me." "Well, then what did you tell him?" "You want it, you got it!"

When will the craziness end? Let's ask Musk to respond. How about Trump? Sickness beyond belief.

If every federal employee wrote a 250 word summary of their week, given that the avg college educated adult reads about 250 words per minute, to only read every report—not record info, ask Q’s, verify anything, or look up anything—would require over 4,000 people reading nonstop for an entire workday

"Hey Boss?" "Yes Big Balz? "Ernie from I.T. told me that the mail servers and address lists are restricted to individual agencies for security purposes. Do you want me to fire him?"

"Excuse me, boss?" "Yes, Big Balz? "That email you wanted us to send everyone bounced. Ernie from I.T. said that there's something called a global address list that isn't configured to be able to handle all 3 million mailboxes. Do you have any idea what he's talking about?"

"Excuse me, boss?" "Yes, Big Balz?" "We tried to send that email to everyone like you wanted and all servers crashed. Do you have any idea what this Microsoft Exchange is all about?"

The smart money says that Elon & The Doggies will be able to have Scotty beam them aboard The USS Enterprise sooner than they'll figure out how to send an email to all 3 million federal employees.

"Alex, I'll take Intelligence-insulting, logistically & nearly technologically impossible bullshit that isn't going to happen for $1000."

In addition to nationwide protests in all 50 states across the U.S., our 50501 Washington DC Chapter is having a PEOPLE’S STATE OF THE UNION March 4th! If you can’t make it in person to your local protest, consider joining this digital demonstration. INFO: www.linktr.ee/50501DC @polrev.bsky.social

“What does New Orleans mean to me?” said Buffett. “Where do I start? It means a whole hell of a lot.” #jimmybuffett #parrothead #parrotheads

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

Elon Musk is paid TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to be the CEO of Tesla. What did Elon get done last week for Tesla?

NEW Here is the full email that Musk/OPM is sending to 2 million federal employees. Subject line: What did you do last week? Musk claimed on X that failure to reply would be considered a resignation, but that is not mentioned in the email.

Scaring people into quitting didn’t work, so now it’s a new game. X isn’t for gov’t business, and not replying to an email isn’t a legal resignation. We could’ve had housing help, tax breaks for workers, and better healthcare. Instead, we’re stuck with this.

Elon Musk says an email to federal employees will be sent from DOGE, telling them to explain “what they got done last week” and that “failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.” - Fwd Axis

When satire seems more realistic than reality...🫢😬😅

Very much enjoyed my visit to @umassamherst.bsky.social past two days. Thanks to my #ARHS high school friend, Architecture Prof & #MTA President Max Page (and all his wonderful colleagues) for pulling this together (photo credit goes to my ARHS friend and higher ed activist Paul Johansen)

This is such condescending BS.

💁‍♂️

He nails it.

🤔 Hmmm, what do all these unqualified and uncouth thieves have in common?
