Attention all federal employees! For Feds, by Feds – It's time to KNOW YOUR RIGHTS and ACCESS YOUR RESOURCES! Join this FREE webinar series designed by federal workers to support their peers. It's impartial, informative, and designed with you in mind.

🔥✊🏼

Therapists sitting at the front desk (and therefore not providing therapy), because support staff were fired. This is the opposite of efficiency. Call your reps now!

Chaos at the V.A.: Inside the DOGE Cuts Disrupting the Veterans Agency www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/u...

Here are 5 reasons veterans are especially hard-hit by Trump's cuts www.alternet.org/trumps-cuts/

BREAKING: Tesla's windows

Trump is back at Mar-a-Fraudo this weekend playing golf games. It costs about $3M to transport a POTUS from DC to South Florida. That's enough money that USAID could feed around 250,000 kids for two weeks.

Nothing screams HYPOCRITE quite like Trump complaining about & gutting school loan forgiveness for grads dedicated to service & bettering our communities while he’s had HUNDREDS of MILLIONS in debt forgiven due bankruptcy 6 times. tinyurl.com/r6nkkz3j

🇺🇸Today we honor women who have served and continue to serve in our Armed Forces. The courage, resilience, and dedication to their service strengthen our military. Let's continue to defend their rights as they've served to defend all of ours.

Choice is an illusion. Buy local. Buy at thrift stores. Start growing food and create mutual aid networks in your community. www.shutdown315.org @womenwarriors.com

His people know all about the history of dictatorships and how they got started.

France just can’t stop showing off. Now they’ve burnt down their first Tesla dealership in protest to Elon Musk. #E3 #TeslaTakeOver

100% yes.

🚨 Trump & Musk’s extreme actions are hurting Veterans. 🚨 Thousands who served this country are now being purged, abandoned, and denied basic dignity under DOGE. Leader Jeffries: “It’s unacceptable. It’s unconscionable. It’s un-American.”

Project 2025 goals for the VA: -outsource care to private sector -reduce disability ratings for future; partially reduce existing claims -increase automation in processing benefits -stop VA from covering abortions -end whistleblower protections www.project2025.observer?agencies=Dep...

Don’t abandon our Vets! Call your reps and demand they oppose bill HR 740 (ACCESS Act) which will limit choice, decrease coverage and reduce access to care. The end goal is to dismantle the VA and divert funds into the private sector.

As the article states, these workers then spend less which hurts local economies. But not just those laid off, every Fed I’ve talked to is decreasing spending in fear of losing their jobs.

WE GOT THIS! Starts NOW - through the 14th. Don’t touch Amazon or anything Jeff Bezos owns.

Trump’s coup is still underway, and an unelected billionaire is handing teenagers the keys to Americans’ most sensitive data — yet 10 House Democrats just sided with Republicans to police criticism of Trump.

“I am out to sing songs that will prove to you that this is your world & that if it has hit you pretty hard and knocked you for a dozen loops, no matter what color, what size you are, how you are built, I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself & in your work.” -Woody Guthrie

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

Could not agree more. This doesn’t even consider the distress of employees result in increased sick calls and inability to focus.

What a front cover...

The amount of stress, financial insecurity, fear, & heartbreak this has caused amongst federal employees can't be overstated. & it was all intentional. To now walk it back, AFTER the mass firings, realizing it was illegal, just shows how unintelligent & unplanned the orders were in the 1st place.

Cowards giving a green light to everything that DOGE is doing. They’re about to fire 80,000 people from the VA. They’ve already fired disabled veterans (veterans make up 30% of the civil service) This is basically saying “we’re cool w that”. Please call your members of congress (202) 224-3121 ☎️

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.
