Alt US Army Corps of Engineers

God were the worst. At least we’re consistent? I mean—we voted against ceasefire in Palestine a bazillion times. At least we’re not sending weapons to Russia. It’s time for the US empire to step out of the way of peace in other lands.

Dang! $135b.
What paper is this from?

Recommend checking out the @bdsmovement.bsky.social lists. They’re pretty strategic and have made meaningful gains especially recently.

Sign the Petition Stop 287g in Bucks County: Urge Sheriff Harran to Say NO

Bucks County, PA Sheriff Harran wants to enroll his department in 287(g) which would align the department with ICE & empower his deputies to hunt & arrest suspected immigrants
Please let the Sheriff of Bucks Co know that local law enforcement is tasked to protect & serve, not to gestapo for the king

Bro needs to retake Cyber Security Challenge 2025. I just scored 20/20! Can I report him to my Security Point of contact?

Took a “Know Your Rights” training this wknd to help protect our immigrant friends and neighbors. Find one and take it. DHS sent “it’s time to leave” notices to lots of immigrants and also us citizens. HHS tried to take immigrant kids out of LA schools, claiming a “welfare check.” #WeKeepUsSafe

A lot more staff took the Deferred Resignation/Early retirement this time around— it was re-offered the week of 7 April . I’m hearing ~ 11,000 for Army. No numbers yet for Civil Works (Corps of engineers) but I know 6 colleagues in my immediate circle. I am still here.

If wishbones worked, there would be a lot more turnover at the chicken processing plant...

The Black struggle against racism is central to the story of The United States. His attempt to expunge this story -
under the guise of extinguishing “DEI” - represents an attempt to erase Blackness itself. News accounts that parrot his propaganda aid and abet this crime.

At first I thought this picture and post were about Israeli prisons and how the US sanctions and pays for the genocide of Palestinians. Perhaps it is not so shocking *after all that we are funding the dehumanization and maltreatment of others as well.

I needed this laugh today!!

Love all these. Keep ‘em coming!

Trans *folx not trans rolls. (Typo)

Commissary funds for incarcerated folx (esp trans rolls), gofundmes for families in Gaza, Native American health clinics, orgs that directly serve refugees and Asylees, bail funds for protestors, folkx advocating for ppl with disabilities (especially queer trans and BIPOC disabled folx)… ❤️‍🩹✊🏽

I can try to look up specific orgs if you shout your area. But generally I’d look for:
Mutual aid groups, free health clinics, local abortion funds, community fridges, local orgs that buy tents and coats and meals for people experiencing homelessness, food banks, community kitchens

Once again for the people back, None of us are free until All of us are free.

For folks out there putting tons of energy into hating the current admin, I encourage you to take a break today and put that energy (or donation if you are able!) into a local org that is providing lifelines for the folks most impacted but this scary stuff. If you need tips, just ask here.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

I missed this earlier.

This is what dictators do. Criticize the press when they ask legitimate questions.

Well done @kaitlancollins.bsky.social asking real questions to hold them accountable.

"So, the self-silencing that is happening right now is really, really scary, and that is what we have to stand up against. I think that there is no more dangerous response to authoritarianism than self-silencing.”

This.

A reminder that none of us are free until all of us are.

Awww, I am glad you enjoy the spaces we help care for ❤️💕! We love our work on the lakes … I hope we’ll be able to continue. Thank you for sharing this.

I feel that. Hope you’re hanging in there okay. It’s been an exercise in “living in the moment,” that’s for sure …

Good question! Tho We don’t know yet how many reductions we’ll see at usace. The 23,000 number is for Army Civilians and no additional details yet. I agree with you though- The impact on our waterways and communities would be large!
