If a Prince can be held accountable, so can a President.

And I can attest that a large portion were comms staff (like me and every single one of my colleagues in our now-obliterated comms office) and FOIA officers. Oh, and legal and acquisitions. So, no communications, no transparency, no legal checks, and no supplies for research.

Mazel tov!!

Federal Harms Tracker -Cost to Your Government A nonprofit, nonpartisan organization working towards effective government for the American people.

148,937 civil servants gone. Programs gutted. Services stalled. Trump’s war on government isn’t rhetoric—it’s reality. The @publicservice tracker shows the damage, month by month, agency by agency. This is what dismantling democracy looks like.

Heartbreaking but important read.

Take you pick. We've got lots of options.

Don't you think he looks tired?

I’m calling on Secretary Kennedy to resign.

We are sick of it. He must go!

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

To all my fellow feds, whether similarly fired or still holding the line, it's your right to mourn what is happening to us. We did nothing wrong and we are bearing the brunt of a cruelty that should never have been allowed.

Thank you. My institute was amazing and our researchers were doing great work for a better world. You want to see how America was already great? Look to our researchers. They're amazing and don't deserve the punishment this regime is forcing on them.

Same, my friend. I'm pushing myself every day to keep moving forward and keep fighting and keep trying to find new work and keep myself stitched together. The threads are definitely straining though.

I love both. The red give it a sense of urgency and danger that Kate Kane would love.

"Despair is not an option."

Fantastic!

Thank you. I loved my job and my colleagues. All the wonderful research they were doing made me feel like I was part of a greater good that would ultimately help so many people. Now, I feel like I'm in mourning every day, for myself, for my colleagues, and for everything this regime is killing.

It's honestly heartbreaking. They fired my entire office on April 1 and removed our institute director in the middle of the night like she was a criminal. What they're doing to all of HHS is the actual crime and the American people are the ones who will pay the price.

I have a friend who's from Rockford and I felt like such a dork over how excited I got when I learned that about her, LOL.

Fair point, LOL. I'm actually shockingly disinterested in sports as a pastime. But I played softball all through high school. So, my heart will always belong to the Rockford Peaches.

Share one of your comfort sports movies.

(Yeah, I'll be that lesbian; I'm okay with that.)

Got terminated on Valentine's Day for being a probationary employee. Reinstated by judges only to be put immediately on indefinite administrative leave. Was just RIFed this morning.

Worst April Fools ever.

I guess it's some small comfort that it made as little sense to those inside the Sinema circus as it did to those of us watching from the outside. Because that was batshittery of confounding proportions.

He seems to have set off down this path from his first steps into Congress.

I've read some people ask similar questions about possible post-stroke cognitive changes. However, I've also read some posts about how he was duplicitous as Braddock mayor and people who worked with him knew not to trust him. He's turned into another Sinema, which I never expected.

Today is International Women's Day. I want to urge everyone to celebrate and examine the impact that women have in society and our power to effect positive change. A shoutout from me to the great women fighting the good fight - Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum, US Senators Elissa Slotkin...

I think every weather app should, for a whole week, load a warning window that informs all users that the information they use to run the app comes from NOAA. Because I'm seeing way too many people who think we don't need NOAA because "i gET mY weATheR frOm mA aPp."

We'll never see him IRL. He hides behind a ton of security like the coward he is. Why do you think he carries that little boy around with him on his shoulders? He's literally using one of his own children as a human shield.

Devastated. Cruel. Surreal. Federal workers share the toll of losing their identity
