Words matter. Use them well and with intent. #TheMoreYouKnow

Never forget, we are a nation founded on ideals, but we are also a nation of bullies. No matter how many times they say it, we’ve never been a Christian nation.

Well done on fighting the censorship

Fresh IRS hell. If you dont have your bank account on your return, we won't issue a check immediately. We will hold your refund for 6 weeks. A notice will be issued that tells you to go on to your IRS.gov account and update your banking information. 🧵

When l’orange fires ambassadors, we notice. No one is talking about what happens to US delegations at international meetings, when they are even allowed to attend. Agency SMEs are left home while state dept appointees attend, craft insane US positions, disrupt meetings & piss off our allies. #resist

Yo resisters! Read up!

Great example Vought’s incompetence. He forces feds out but is unable to process separations. Some fired feds still have not received leave payouts. Retired feds wait MONTHS for benefits. No money to live on. Such a circus admin. Clowns, all of them. federalnewsnetwork.com/congress/202...

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

The holidays are HARD, but it gets better.

How many people “redacting” knew it wasn’t the right way to do it but followed instructions anyway knowing exactly what would happen? A supervisor somewhere certainly knew. If 10% of the 1,000 agents knew the right procedure, that’s 100 patriotic Feds maliciously complying. #altCitizen #WeSeeYou

Imma tell you want the secret is right now. Drink water, drink beer, fuck a lot and have some dessert Bich, treat yourself a little!

So y’all know I don’t usually post rumors but occasionally I will if the source is one that I trust and the info is time sensitive soooooo with that said I’m gonna share what I’ve heard that has me like 🤬🤬🤬🤬 and y’all can believe or not based on the above info but I would not feel ok not sharing it.

Sheikh Fouad Saeed Abdulkadir, 46, a former imam at the Islamic Center of Northeast Ohio and a father of four, spent seven long months in ICE detention before passing away at the Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Pennsylvania.

Go listen to what civil service in action sounds like!!!! And support #Chuck4MD ✊✊✊✊

After 20+ years working in the Department of Justice, I retired not long ago. I’m embarrassed to have any association with people who would put out an official DOJ press release like this x.com/thejusticede...

Happy Monday folks! This time of year can be overwhelming, exhausting, and for some down right depressing. Adding to that the millions of people who are going to lose health insurance in just a few days time. Please be patient with each other. Love each other. Be the reason someone smiles today

Don't drag your feet. I'll buy the ink. Laws are only suggestions without enforcement.

Sooooo on 12/18, Mango Mussolini signed the EO that said agencies could give employees the 24th and 26th off and if agencies chose to open that was up to them. SSA leadership was silent. No guidance. Friday we got told by area HR to prep for early closeout and post holidays those days.

The original story broke over 12h ago, and I've not seen any major news coverage yet.....

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

HERO 🔥🔥🔥

reminder:

Because the fuckers who run @hhsofficial.bsky.social more specifically the FDA, are hateful assholes looking only to make themselves money. They sent out a new PMAP guidance (performance eval) while most ppl are on vacation. And let me tell you it’s some fucking shit! 🧵🧵 First what did they send:

Let’s give this article a more apt name. How about ‘Federal Science and Scientists Under Siege’? Mostly sharing from NYT because I appreciate the inclusion of an audio option. Also taking this opportunity to make a plug for donating to conservation nonprofits this year if you have spare change.

The admin is wasting no crisis... Sec. Kristi Noem said she is suspending the diversity visa lottery program (DV-1) after the Brown University suspect entered the U.S. through it in 2017.

This is shit. So I guess focusing on “lethality” means fixing your own barracks room? Maybe with that $1776 bonus? Wtf. taskandpurpose.com/news/navy-ba...

More insights on this unethical vaccine study - which is paid for by the CDC and involves experimenting on a vulnerable infant population.

Statistically, 15% of domestic violence attacks occur in the short period between Thanksgiving & New Year's. Over 2300 women were murdered in DV attacks in 2024 alone. There have been 180 fatal human/bear conflicts in North America since 1784. TheHotline.org Call 800-799-7233 Text BEGIN to 88788

Silencing a black woman's voice is so on brand for that knuckle dragging knotty-pated dewberry. 🤬

vanity fair photographer christopher anderson posts this story on his instagram, suggesting he intentionally posed stephen miller underneath a painting of native americans

After public blowback, a Kansas tribe has cancelled an agreement to build a holding area for immigrants arrested by ICE. With some Native Americans swept up and detained in recent ICE raids, the deal was derided online as “disgusting” and “cruel.” apnews.com/article/nati...

UPDATE ON THE PERSON OF INTEREST IN THE BROWN SHOOTING It's being reported on WCVB Boston that there is an active scene in New Hampshire. The press conference that was scheduled to take place at 4 this afternoon is still on hold because of developments, but it will be taking place at some point.

The pettiness is the point.

Sometimes, we have to create our own joy. One way to do this is to exercise our creative juices. Take a few minutes each day to create…painting, woodworking, sculpting, crocheting, knitting, embroidery, cooking, gardening…whatever your jam is. Share your creations with others.

Nelson Mandela said "There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children". Stand up and reveal your soul.

As someone who works with (and contributed to) USWDS and several of it's agency-specific forks, the NDS is truly an insult to the incredible work of teams at @alt18f.bsky.social, @altusds.altgov.info, GSA and others who have spent a decade creating one of the best design systems in the world.

Okay. Phew. What a fucking week. (It's Monday.😭) I was talking with an internet friend about surviving this moment. And honestly, we're all the walking wounded, with or without the national and international crises. 🧵

Be like Rob. Spend every breath trying to make this country a better place for #AllOfUs

Your next decision matters more than your last mistake. Have a good week.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Bless the Muslim man who disarmed a terrorist shooter in Australia!

The Birthday Paradox: If you put 40 people in a room, there’s a 90% probability 2 will have the same birthday. The American Paradox: If you put 25,000 students on a college campus, 25,000 of them have already had their lives altered by gun violence.

That's an embryologist getting their mind rocked by stupidity 👇

Great piece about federal workers coming together. At #AltGov we know a thing or two about that. 🧡

Gonna have to arrest about 180 million antifa regulars.

If you're old enough to remember playing with lawn darts (esp. without adult supervision), you may need a measles booster.
