Waiting for the Democrats in Congress, who could care less about federal employees like me, to voluntarily give their paychecks to food banks or aid funds for those of us who are suffering. Otherwise they’re just hypocritical empty bags of hot air. NO ONE HAS THE MORAL HIGH GROUND HERE.

Holocaust Survivor tells his sheriff and Trump’s Deportation czar disappearing people that history “is not on your side.”

I think it’s safe to say he’s wigging out about military command changes.

Nuclear truth bomb from

“The only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so much harder, and this is why they don’t want us to have education.”

It is absolutely sickening how my feed is devoid of any real fury about what happened at the Department of Ed last night. Over 1,300 people lost their jobs and the response was a collective shrug? So disappointed in the #bluesky community.

Five alarm fire: Over 1,300 layoffs at the #DepartmentofEducation.

All of these regional offices of the Office for Civil Rights have subjected to 100% #RIF: #Chicago, #NY, #Boston, #Cleveland, #Philly, and #SF.

We're hearing from multiple sources that all U.S. Dept. of Ed buildings are closing at 6 p.m. and are closed tomorrow. Email to staff cites "security reasons."

"Employees will not be permitted in any ED facility on Wednesday, March 12th, for any reason." @jodiscohen.bsky.social and I are following

Also as a mother I know there is no one more qualified than a parent to fly the planes my kids travel in.

From the 1st email McM sent to the Dept: “As a mother and grandmother, I know there is nobody more qualified than a parent to make educational decisions for their children.”

True! And as a #mother, I know there is nobody more qualified than a #parent to make surgical decisions for their children.

Staten Island prosecutor, whose job includes trying drunk drivers, charged with DWI He was allegedly intoxicated when pulled over for speeding, changing lanes without signaling in Midtown Manhattan early this morning

Repost me please

She’s always been a self-serving, heartless bureaucrat who cares more about power than about people. DC can do so much better.

Jump scare

My One Small Place Project: Until the end of the Tr*** term, I’ll be regularly posting pictures of the view from one window in my home. We can fight harder and keep our strength up if we stop & notice the cycles of the natural world & how beauty is all around us if we take the time to look.

Day 81 of the One Small Place project.

Day 80 of the One Small Place project.

My teenage daughter made up a bunch of fake email addresses and sent in a ton of Reddit AITA stories and a lot of drapple fanfic (you don’t want to know).

I’ve never been so proud.

Day 79 of the One Small Place project.

On the HHS Leadership call today: 1 employee from CMS (Center for Medicare/Medicaid Service) and 2 employees from SSA (Social Security Administration) have died by suicide after their firing.

Day 78 of the One Small Place project. In February, Cupid visits our house. He leaves #valentines and causes a bit of merry mayhem. This time (among other things) he changed the view I’ve been photographing since President Musk was elected. I think it’s an improvement…

Day 77 of the One Small Place project.

Day 76 of the One Small Place project. Early morning of the first day back to the office. Calming beauty.

Day 75 of the One Small Place project. Seeing the same place from a different angle.

And Acting Sec. Denise “General Pétain” Carter pushed people to take the very trainings that she’s now putting them on admin. leave for attending. Irony is lost on DOGE and their agency collaborators (of which there are many; I defy anyone to find a single spine among the career leaders at ED).
