I’ve been avoiding outdoor protests this week due to the ridiculous heat, so I’m really excited about the overpass protest on Saturday - hopefully under 90 degrees AND a covered pedestrian bridge. Come out & wave at cars as they drive to the mountains on Sat. It’s really fun! #denverprotests

Overpass protests are great! Especially if you don’t like crowds.

If you’re in the Denver area, make sure you stop by one of the overpass protests this week (they are organized I think every week if different locations). They are really fun and the organizers bring all of the giant signs. www.reddit.com/r/50501CO/co... #denverprotests

Solidarity with the public servants whose names and careers are on the line so they can share their concerns and insights with the country-no media middlemen. Even if you don’t think signing will help, please read all three.

How do we stop it? Long term answer-run for office! Flood the ballots with empathy. Overwhelm government at local, state and national levels with officials who are connected to the community and not just to lobbyists.

EPA moves ahead with reorganization, new buyouts The moves are the latest part of the Trump administration’s ambitious reorganization and workforce reduction plan.

Expected. Terrible.

EPA offered yet another round of buyouts and early retirements to employees, targeted at people in the offices being reorganized. That includes those in the Office of Research and Development, Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance etc

Trump’s First EPA Promised to Crack Down on Forever Chemicals. His Second EPA Is Pulling Back. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin claims to prioritize combatting long-lasting chemicals called PFAS. Despite this, the agency has delayed enforcement of standards and terminated over $15 million in funding for “forever chemicals” research.

The EPA knows PFAS are toxic. Its own scientists proved it. And yet, it’s caving—stalling action and siding with polluters.

Brave #EPA employees discussed this & more in their #DeclarationofDissent - and 139 were put on admin leave as a result.

Which is why it wasn’t the first course of action or the second or the tenth. It’s July. A lot has happened between January and now. Consequences were possible but being a public servant actually means something to a lot of us.

The difference is we are responsible for protecting human health and the environment. It’s an honor and an obligation. If the experts don’t speak up, the general public wouldn’t know their safety was being ignored. It’s not a regular job.

You know what giving independent justice-minded people two weeks of suspension actually does? Gives them more time to speak out, protest, network and strategize.

View of tent camp for migrant 5-10k kids in El Paso from airplane.

Like the 1k kids per tent camp in Ft Bliss in 2021? I’m gonna guess they didn’t tear down that gem from the last administration. To all the kids who went through there, I’m sorry. I took this photo and volunteered as a federal worker to deploy there for two months. It was fu’d.

Liberal here…shooting firefighters is not a political act. I would be shocked if it didn’t have something to do with being rejected when applying to be a firefighter. This seemed personal not political. Could be wrong though.

And this is after they’ve reduced staff at the VA. Wtf are the service members supposed to do when they’ve been broken by this

Our agency went from 5 categories to three a few years ago with the intention of limiting the number of highest rated individuals. This is not new. What would be new is moving certain job series to schedule f. That’s what I’m worried about.

I’m so happy new protesters participated yesterday even though I know many were nervous about safety. I hope they feel more comfortable and supported after the peaceful protests! #denverprotest
