If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and itβs your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They arenβt firing for a reason.

FAA says a military helicopter collided with the American Airlines passenger jet from Wichita near DCA.
There must be immediate hearings on how the federal government/Department of Defense allowed this to happen and if removal of safety protocols and recent personnel changes led to this incident.

Why I Left X
From Marc | Democracy Docket is the only place I'll never leave.
My interest in social media was rekindled by Bluesky. Its renaissance since the election has impressed me. The culture of blocking hate is refreshing. The lack of a forced algorithm is wonderful. It feels like the early days of Twitter. So, for now, that is where I will be.
