Farewell and Thanks (Again) - Illegal Activity in the USAID Front Office Inbox Nicholas Gottlieb to amsofficercouncil, ALL, HCTM.ELR, Alpana, Danielle, Sheila, Sepideh, William, Anya, Stephanie, Lindsey - All: 4:19 PM (4 minutes ago) # Today, representatives of the Agency's front office and DOGE instructed me to violate the due process of our employees by issuing immediate termination notices to a group of employees without due process. I refused and have provided Acting Administrator Gray with written notification of my refusal. I have recommended in that written notification that his office cease ar desist from further illegal activity. It is and has always been my office's commitment to the workforce that we ensure all employees receive their due process in any of our actions. I will not be party to a violation of that commitment. I was notified moments ago that I will be placed on administrative leave, effective immediately. It has been an honor working with all of you at this Agency, which i treasure. Please be kind and considerate of my staff at hctm.eir@usaid.gov. who will be very short-staffed and pressed over the coming months. Until you hear otherwise, Kirsten Gunsolus will be acting in my absence. If you would like to stay in touch, I can be reached a wish you all the best. Sincerely, Nicholas Gottlieb Director, Employee and Labor Relations US AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT HCTM, Rm. 4.07A RRB, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20523 USAID gov | @USAID

- $ is finite. Give what you can. But ask “Who has resources for free?”6/

YouTube video by PFAWdotorg Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson Blame 9/11 on Organizations Like People For the American Way

Today's "the plane crashed because of DEI" nonsense is just the newest iteration of "the ACLU and the gays are responsible for 9/11" mishegoss.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
