The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

I’ve never seen The Purge but this is how it starts right?

Fired CDC Scientists Are Reinstated for Now The fellows had been let go as part of the push to cut federal probationary employees that caused thousands of scientists from the C.D.C. and other agencies to lose their jobs.

Dozens of scientists at the CDC have been re-instated after being illegally fired by OPM.

Their reinstatement is the result of last week’s ruling in a case brought by AFSCME, UNAC & AFGE.

This is the power of organizing in action!

No room for profit: corrections officers, staff take a stand against privatization Increasingly, AFSCME corrections members are saying no to private prisons. Join them.

An executive order from the new administration will make it easier for private prison companies to rake in the dough at the expense of corrections staff. Stand up and say no. www.afscme.org/blog/no-room...

Imagine struggling to get access to affordable healthcare and prescriptions, or fighting every month to pay outrageous housing costs, or working 3 jobs to make ends meet, and your congresswoman is working on this.

This is a real bill, a real Congresswoman has introduced.

Totally agree and also “most flirtatious?”

Oligarchy

How mass federal firings affect you AFSCME members working at state, local levels will feel the impact of mass federal firings.

Many AFSCME members work with and rely on federal workers to provide state and local public services. The new administration’s arbitrary dismissals of thousands of federal workers is affecting the vital work done by state and local public service workers. www.afscme.org/blog/how-mas...

Oh no! I hope you are ok!

“Hitler also remarks that the National Socialist Regime will not repeat past blunders and that it aims to be friendly with all nations, particularly those surrounding Germany.”

Thank you

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

Good night, dear friends. See you tomorrow.

📹 This is the man they attempted to humiliate in the Oval office. Zelenskyy will be remembered as a leader of resilience and honor, who stood firm in the face of his country’s darkest hours. His courage and dedication will leave a lasting mark on history.

Russia and China, have ramped up recruitment efforts targeting US federal employees—particularly those recently fired or at risk of termination.

One of my favorite podcast hosts wrote a book. I recommend it highly. Her writing voice is intelligent, compassionate and well-informed. This book can change minds. She explains the experience fat people have in this world with relatable wit and a lot of debunking. Loved it. #yourfatfriend

I really need the police to solve Gene Hackman’s death before a podcast tries to do it

This sweet girl knows it’s almost spring and she’s feeling great. I love the way she lights up this time of year. May we all fill up on protein and get enjoyment from being under the warm sun, just like her.

“You can build all the dick rockets you want to go to Mars while you try to leave the rest of us on the burning Earth. We’re gonna take control. This is our world, and it’s our government, and it’s our money.”

I’ve found my attention span getting shorter and shorter since 47. It’s hard to focus. That’s the goal of shock and awe. Taking care of yourself is just as important as activism right now. Don’t disassociate but take breaks and do all the self care. You will need peace just as much as energy.

This is what oligarchy looks like.
