This is the point though. They are already only targeting blue states and blue areas in red states. You notice the lack of massive ICE action in, say, red state meat processing facilities.

That email requiring all federal employees to reply with 5 bullet describing what they accomplished last week? That address is public: hr@opm.gov. Perhaps we should all get up some good trouble by sending in the highlights of our week too. Deadline is Monday. Bonus points for creativity and or length.

This is a good idea.

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

I mean, the Dogebags are probably basing this on some random AI analysis, and this is the same software that insusts "strawberry" only has two Rs, that you should eat a handful of pebbles every day, and that glue is a good topping for pizza.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social hey, sincere question. Why are you still on Musk's platform?

Heya! @schiff.senate.gov, constituent here. Please drop whatever else you are doing and evict Musk and his goons from Treasury IT systems. Our data is not safe in his hands (not to mention this whole thing seems highly illegal).

No, apparently only the MEMO was rescinded.

According to his press secretary, only the MEMO was cancelled, not the policy? Which also seemsโ€ฆ illegal?

In court just now, the states are introducing @PressSec tweet saying the funding freeze is still active as evidence that their lawsuit should continue.

Reagan airport temporarily closed after aircraft crash in Potomac River, officials say D.C. Fire and EMS Department said a small aircraft is "down in Potomac River" in the vicinity of the busiest D.C.-area airport.

BREAKING: An aircraft crash in the Reagan National Airport area prompted a ground stop and forced the Arlington, Virginia, airport to close on Wednesday night, officials said.

Something that happened the other day reminded me of a New Yorker essay from 2019, so I reread it, which prompted me to track down a copy of The Third Reich of Dreams by Charlotte Beradt. Astonishing and timely book. It should be more widely read.

So if TFG is going to withhold disaster relief, why, exactly, are we paying federal taxes?

It's more like old Twitter than Meta. Just start following people, posting things, and liking posts.
