Most federal employees fired by DOGE received fabricated documents justifying their dismissal, complete with bogus performance reviews. Some were labeled “poor performers” despite recently receiving internal awards for excellence. Now, Trump is pushing to expand these purge tactics.

50501 Movement upholds a strict and unwavering commitment to nonviolence. We do not condone, support, or tolerate any form of violence, threats, or the destruction of property—whether public or private.

Our mission is rooted in integrity, accountability, and nonviolent action.

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

Trump administration dismisses police investigations in several cities, including Minneapolis The decision reverses course on the use of consent decrees to ensure accountability of law enforcement agencies. It comes days before the anniversary of George Floyd's murder by a police officer.

Kristi Noem incorrectly defined habeas corpus as the president’s right to deport people. Huh? That’s… not even close.

‘Plenty of time’ to solve climate crisis, interior secretary tells representatives Doug Burgum defends Trump budget slashing green funds, saying AI and Iran pose bigger threats

Here is a story where #SecCookieMonster defends $5 billion in cuts to the Department of Interior.

The political masochism is overwhelming. He seems to take pleasure in fighting to harm his own workforce.

How can he continue to visit parks, refuges, and DOI offices while tearing us apart?

The Trump administration is officially pulling back from civil rights enforcement in local policing. The DOJ announced it will scrap federal oversight agreements in Minneapolis and Louisville, cities where police killed George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.

Some say we will lose this fight. Or that even if we win, we will fall into the old ways that got us here. Maybe. Maybe not. But one thing is certain. Giving up the fight is not an option. And not giving up is a victory unto itself.

Goodnight 💚

Black background with white text reading: I've spent my career in global health at CDC-and I've never witnessed such a deliberate dismantling of our defenses against deadly disease. Right now, we're being blocked from doing our jobs. Outbreaks are spreading. And diseases are winning. Many of us are bracing for the unthinkable: the elimination of CDC's Global Health Center. We've already seen how cutting USAID has led to-more disease, more death, more instability. We worked with USAID for decades, stopping outbreaks in other countries so they don't come here. The thing is, if CDC's global health work disappears, so does America's last line of defense. I know trust in CDC has been shaken for a while. But here's what I can tell you from the inside: we are scientists, doctors, nurses, and public health professionals. We're not politicians. We don't answer to political parties-we answer to the American people. Ebola doesn't care where you live-or whether you live. But we do. At CDC, we've stood on the front lines of every major health threat in modern history-often quietly, often successfully, always with one goal: keeping you and your family safe. I'm devastated right now but not defeated. I'm pissed, and I'm fighting everyday for what our work stands for: compassion, science, and the belief that every life matters. If you agree-even if you have questions-I hope you'll take a moment to learn more about what we do. We are damn good at this, and we're fighting to keep doing it-for everyone.

The cuts to US health and humanitarian work abroad will have untold human costs, including among the people who have dedicated their careers to making the world a safer, healthier place.

Each of them has a story. Here’s one.

Who else has one to share?

A Texas abortion ban sponsor aims to clarify when doctors can do the procedure Since abortion became almost entirely illegal in Texas in 2021, the state has seen a significant rise in the number of women who die in pregnancy or after giving birth. A new bill aims to change that.

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

Worker safety agency NIOSH lays off most remaining staff Laid-off employees ranged from those working in firefighter health programs, to those approving new respirators.

Our hearts go out to the incredible folks at NIOSH. On Friday night, most remaining staff were laid off—gutting programs that protect workers, like PPE approvals and firefighter health research.

RFKJ’s HHS tried to downplay it on X, brushing it off as just a “required notice.”

Total BS.

Trump’s new budget proposal would slash funding for national parks, monuments, historic sites, seashores, and trails by nearly 25%, cutting more than $1.2 billion from the $4.8 billion Park Service budget.

Many of us are struggling with a desperate sense of urgency while it seems so many others are asleep. It was 2.5 years from the Boston Tea Party to the Declaration of Independence. We've had 3 months. That war was won because day after day, people chose to keep going

Keep going friends. Goodnight💚

This is brilliant! As universities and law firms begin to stand together against the illegal "overreach" (aka fascism) of the tRump regime, leaders in other sectors are doing the same.
