I encounter issues with folks on Facebook frequently in my work, and it's a big problem when it comes to illicit human remains sales as well. Good to see this getting more attention!

'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.

We reached DEFCON F*CK

Trump repealed Pres. Johnson’s 1965 EO prohibiting federal contractors from having segregated restaurants, waiting rooms, & drinking fountains.

Enter Jim Crow 2.0

War heroes are among 26,000 images flagged for removal in Pentagon's DEI purge Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had given the military until Wednesday to remove content highlighting diversity efforts following an executive order ending those programs across the government.

What a massive and fucking stupid waste of resources

Terminated NPS Archeologist: Historic Sites in NPS In Peril After DOGE Cuts Erin Cagney was an archeologist with the National Park Service. She was one of thousands terminated by DOGE. Here she is in her own words.

So proud of Erin and her bravery in being public with everything that’s happened, I’m very lucky to be her partner

A divided Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration’s request to block a lower court’s ruling on foreign aid funding, requiring the USAID to resume payments.

The Department of Ed has a form to snitch on DEI policies in schools.

I’d be a shame if we broke it with thousands of responses… enddei.ed.gov

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.

Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Beautifully written piece about what we are losing and the inhumanity federal workers are experiencing right now

DOGE Quietly Deletes the 5 Biggest Spending Cuts It Celebrated Last Week The cuts, highlighted on an earlier version of the “wall of receipts” posted by Elon Musk’s team, contained mistakes that vastly inflated the amount of money saved.

It's a con job. The goal of DOGE is not to "cut costs" – it's to disrupt and banish the professional federal workforce so cronies and criminals can take their places.

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.
