"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

Legal counsel representing federal employees is now being targeted by the Trump administration. Law firms are receiving a clear message that retaliation is possible for those advocating on behalf of individuals or groups opposing the administration’s agenda.

"Why don't you wear a suit?"

"The Office of Personnel Management does not have any authority whatsoever under any statute in the history of the universe to hire and fire employees at another agency. They can hire and fire their own employees"

According to a new public notice, @uafairbanks.bsky.social (actually, the University of Alaska overall) is seeking to take title of the land underneath and around the renowned Toolik Field Station on the North Slope: aws.state.ak.us/OnlinePublic... #akleg

I'll jump on #TrailTuesday with a photo of a quick hike to Thunderbird Falls just north of #Anchorage.

It's a great short hike for smaller kiddos getting introduced to hiking and nature.

All #federal #government travel and purchase cards are now 1 dollar.

Anyone currently in the field needs to be back by 5 EST. Cause they can't understand friggin timezones.

Scatterplot titled “Empirical Evidence of Ideological Targeting in Federal Layoffs: Agencies seen as liberal are significantly more likely to face DOGE layoffs.” • The x-axis represents Perceived Ideological Leaning of federal agencies, ranging from -2 (Most Liberal) to +2 (Most Conservative), based on survey responses from over 1,500 federal executives. • The y-axis shows Agency Size (Number of Staff) on a logarithmic scale from 1,000 to 1,000,000. Each point represents a federal agency: • Red dots indicate agencies that experienced DOGE layoffs. • Gray dots indicate agencies with no layoffs. Key Observations: • Liberal-leaning agencies (left side of the plot) are disproportionately represented among red dots, indicating higher layoff rates. • Notable targeted agencies include: • HHS (Health & Human Services) • EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) • NIH (National Institutes of Health) • CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) • Dept. of Education • USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development) • The National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE), despite its conservative leaning (+1 on the scale), is an exception among targeted agencies. • A notable outlier: the Department of Veterans Affairs (moderately conservative) also faced layoffs despite its size. Takeaway: The figure visually demonstrates that DOGE layoffs disproportionately targeted liberal-leaning agencies, supporting claims of ideological bias. The pattern reveals that layoffs were not driven by agency size or budget alone but were strongly associated with perceived ideology. Source: Richardson, Clinton, & Lewis (2018). Elite Perceptions of Agency Ideology and Workforce Skill. The Journal of Politics, 80(1).

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Van Hollen: "There's no Article 4 in the Constitution that gives Elon Musk that authority, and the way he's been 'delegated' this authority is illegal, and the actions he's taking are illegal, and we need to shut down this illegal operation."

For what it's worth I am a federal worker and would appreciate a show of support for my co-workers (I myself will be fine)

Thanks for sharing @bananalaska.bsky.social

Trump order opening Arctic Alaska waters to oil leasing draws legal challenge • Alaska Beacon Environmental groups say, as they did 8 years ago, that Trump violated the law by unilaterally overturning past no-leasing protections.

Remember, when you feel defeated. When you feel overwhelmed. When you feel like you can't keep track of it all. When you feel like it's hopeless. That is EXACTLY what the Trump Regime wants you to feel. We aren't whipped. You need to take a knee, you do that. We got this.

Ahh a personal #favorite the #DollyVarden. These, along with #trout , and #grayling #fish hang behind the spawing #salmon population and wait for the rogue egg to slurp up.

#Western #AK #locals rely on these fish as much as salmon for food and each play important parts in each other's #ecosystems

As I advocate for public lands I can attest #hunters and #fishermen take some of the best care of these spaces. I know #DOGE AND THE #FOTUS are actively looking to shrinking #national monuments, parks, and spaces. We can extract resources carefully and efficiently while still protecting our spaces.
