Colorized photo graph of a chubby little longhaired black kitten. It’s a studio portrait and he’s sitting on green fabric with a painted backdrop with blue and white brushstrokes resembling the sky. He’s just so round and plump and looks so happy, I love him.

This little guy is a postcard from my collection that was mailed in 1908. I love him so much that I use him as my avatar for all my accounts!

Just saying.

UPDATED REPORT: Social Security Administration announces "massive reorganizations" and a "target" of 7,000 job cuts. www.lawdork.com/p/social-sec...

Maybe instead of purging the Social Security workers who make sure seniors get their checks on time, we should be expanding benefits to make life a little easier for your parents and grandparents.

The Social Security Administration meant job stability. Not anymore. Baltimore County is home to the Social Security Administration headquarters. Thousands of federal employees are worried about their jobs.

Both my parents worked at Social Security headquarters, making it possible for our family to thrive.

It’s awful that tens of thousands of federal workers are being fired by the world’s richest man for no good reason, but this story definitely hits home: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/economy/soci...

I feel so sick and terrified reading this.

With Handmaids Tale people focus on the shock of the mass rapes in the book and the show.

But how the regime came to be in power in that book keeps me awake at night because it is playing out in very intricate detail in our real lives right now.

Informal Grievance Template for Adverse Personnel Actions There is a limited amount of time to oppose personnel actions. Time is short.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF.

Now.

Print hard copies.

And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

I heard the Pope dissed the shit out of JD Vance.

Fuck yeah.

Get his ass, Francis.

CNN: Do you think that calling Elon Musk "a dick" is effective messaging?

Rep. Robert Garcia: "Well, he is a dick."

I approve this message.

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money?

Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.

Federal health workers terrified after ‘DEI’ website publishes list of ‘targets’ The site calls out workers who have been involved with DEI initiatives. A majority are Black.

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

The Trump administration blamed the dismantling of USAID on its workers’ high levels of “insubordination.” Nothing like gaslighting America.

Islam is not exempt, and neither is any other religion.

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you.

Do something

‘Gender Ideology’ Ban is Already Harming Health, Experts Say (Gift Article) Documents purged from government websites include guidelines for safe contraception and information on racial inequities in health care.

SCOOP: Many of the pages that went missing on Friday from the CDC website on Friday have reappeared — in response to intense media coverage, backlash from the scientific community and concern for the public’s health.
