The country is falling apart before our very eyes, but I hit the avocado jackpot the other day, so I'll take that as a win

This strikes me as pretty bad

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

What the actual fuck is this www.hud.gov

Donald Trump has reportedly spent $18 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as he slashes the federal workforce, guts funding for vital programs, and tees up major cuts to Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for the rich. Hello?

The RTO for the greater FDA was pushed to Monday. This is where our friends and fellow workers will be placed. Fucking shit ass full of traffic non secure no electricity having hallways and lobbies.

@vanhollen.senate.gov please hold the line and DO NOT PASS the CR.

@alsobrooks.senate.gov please hold the line and DO NOT PASS the CR!

We second this

Please call your senators today and demand that they NOT support the continuing resolution!!

Ok, for those of you who asked me for a template of the "MISSING REPRESENTATIVE" flyer, here you go: www.canva.com/design/DAGhQ... Feel free to share far and wide.

Justin Trudeau ftw

Look at this post! So good, and really fucking good ideas. An avenue we can use to megaphone our message and efforts. www.reddit.com/r/50501/comm...

(1) Because of the RTO (return to office) order, a friend of mine returned (while her entire team is still home-for now). Then she broke her toe. It's at least an 8 minute walk from the garage to her office (and will be farther after 3/17).

Super thankful for great friends and delicious oysters to take my mind off the horrors for a little bit...

Some other things of note that you might not realize the credit card freeze in FDA has affected-authors who have gone through the peer review process and are in the last stages of publishing their scientific manuscripts, cannot pay the fees to get their hard work published, and there are deadlines

The administration is cutting costs to extend $4B in tax cuts for very rich people at the cost of planes falling out of the sky, your grandma not getting her meds, your kids not having a school to go to, and your neighbors being sent to private prisons to enrich admin's donors. There's your message

@marklemley.bsky.social govt employee who would like to join this lawsuit

(note the posts are from Jan 6... But this dude is going to run the state department??)

I truly hope that someday, we'll look back in as much horror of the time we allowed TV stations to call themselves news and blatantly, flagrantly lie constantly, as the days before the FDA was created and farmers added formaldehyde to their milk to "keep it from spoiling" then sold it

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

🧪 If I were Canadian PM I would immediately: 1. Create a new $15B science fund 2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada 3. Immediate permanent residency 4. Citizenship after 2 years Overnight a science superpower

HE’S REPLACING NPR WITH BREITBART !?!?!?

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

Just got this tip from an airline pilot

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

Literally never experienced a president with such blatant disregard for federal employees, let alone the nation. Disgusting.

Wow. I knew it would be bad, but I didn't know it would be THIS bad. New fresh hell in my inbox every day...
