I tell people all the time, public service in woven into our DNA. Fed workers are suffering. Big time. Yet they continue to serve. I’m proud to count every one of them my colleagues.

I highly recommend this book. It’s about a seemingly unimportant museum curator named Rose Vallund who infiltrated Nazi leadership to save so.many.pieces of art. Art described as degenerate art by Hitler. Art we all enjoy today. #resistance

“What’s required in these situations is a few folks standing up and giving courage to other folks. And then more people stand up and kind of go, ‘Yeah, no, that’s not who we are. That’s not our idea of America.’” -Barack Obama

Trump’s government shutdown isn’t just political brinkmanship—it’s the biggest union-busting campaign since Reagan’s PATCO firings. Federal workers are under attack. Solidarity and labor militancy are the answer, writes Conor Lynch.

@altfampoetryslam.bsky.social Submitting my first entry into the poetry slam. #altpoetsociety After the Collapse In that single moment After the collapse, I emerged From the path worth taking. Wild and hard, Long and winding, Overgrown with roots of doubt, Fear, defiance, and cruelty.

BREAKING: Senate GOP just BLOCKED Democrats' straightforward bill to pay our troops. If Republicans still refuse to work with Democrats to reopen the government and prevent health care costs from skyrocketing, they should at the very least be able to work with us to make sure our troops get paid.

Do not be fooled. Many civil servants would rather sacrifice in the short term so our fellow citizens have affordable health care and the lawless power the big ugly bill gives the executive branch. Power of the purse belongs ti congress not to the president through pocket recessions.

Undocumented immigrants have an arrest rate of 613 per 100,000. CBP agents have a self-reported arrest rate of 1%. There are 62,400 agents. So CBP agents have an arrest rate about 1.63 times that of undocumented immigrants, assuming these are correct.

Trump's approval ratings are already tanking, and the American people haven't even gotten to the part where they pay enormous costs for his stupidity.

A dangerous move. From the WSJ.

We in the AltGOG family are giddy with excitement to welcome @resistancerangers.altgov.info to the #altgiv family. The real AntNPS with real park rangers behind the account.

Mass trauma hurts people & communities. When we retreat into isolation to cope with our shared trauma that’s when authoritarians move in. They feed on disconnection and sell control as safety. I feel this is important reading for today. antiauthoritarianpla... #Democracy 2️⃣ 1/3

Missouri folks, check out this generous offer. This is how we build community and lift our people up.

Please…if you have a democratic senator, read this and act upon it! It’s important they hear from us.

Quote of the day. “One of the most vital ways we sustain ourselves is by building communities of resistance, places where we know we are not alone.” — bell hooks go find your community of resistance, and resist.

We need to start talking about the fact that Mike Johnson has basically abolished the House of Representatives. He has made himself irrelevant and pointless, shrinking the speakership so much that his role has become a pathetic echo of what it used to be. How sad.

Not sure how many time I told people during the election, when someone tells you who they are believe them! Especially if it’s as important as our democracy . yet here we are.

@altcbp thoughts?

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

Oh boy..,

Our signers were blatantly & illegally retaliated against. Whistleblower Protections is a foundation of our democracy (dare I say sacred), meant to hold institutions & leaders accountable. I will forever be grateful To those who were scared to sign publically, but had the courage to do it anyway.

Two Ranking Members of the senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee sent this letter to the OSC, requesting a swift investigation into the illegal retaliation against Katrina Declaration signers including the investigation DHS/FEMA launched, on Oct 17th.

Will forever be grateful and use my donation dollars wisely when I’m planning giving fir the next year,

Ebola is one of the nasty viruses that can hide in the body even after a patient recovers and tests negative. It can reemerge and trigger a new outbreak years later. How do they survive? And how can they be kayoed?

Just checking: the republicans that attacked and sent marshals to arrest Texas dems for not showing up to work (in an effort to protect voting rights, btw) are the same republicans that are not showing up to work, yeah?

Thank you World Central Kitchen for standing in the gap for civil servants.

HOLDFAST!

Ok, I know I’m slow. But,You humans are so slow in releasing the Epstein files. Do I need to swim to South America and come back? Release the Epstein files. - grumpy sea turtle

Finallly acknowledging out loud. The decisions fell mostly along party lines, w/ Trump touting on social media Wednesday that he had “won BIG” in Alaska in the last 3 presidential elections & that it was his “honor” to deliver for the “incredible Patriots” of Missouri, a state he also won 3 times.

If you need help, get what you need. If can help - with food, time, or money - give what you can. Go Community.

We don’t like bringing attention to DHS press releases/articles but this one has us fuming. It’s a long thread but important. We also include screen shots and another article that has some rebuttal. www.dhs.gov/news/202... 1/9

“As federal workers, we signed up to serve the American people and to serve the public, and while we're on furlough and we can't do that as part of our jobs, we want to find other ways to give back to our local communities,” www.kuow.org/stories/furl...

Verified #altGov accounts will never ask for money because for some of us, integrity still matters. Anyone can call themself an alt. Don’t let the grifters get you down. Do your good work in the world, bring some truth & joy (they’re not mutually exclusive!) & try to make a difference for someone.

We all need to be screaming at top of lungs that this is not ok. We can’t allow this to be normal.

Today I unintentionally took a bittersweet stroll down memory lane, digging through old disaster files, searching for data to justify my program area. When you’re in the midst of a disaster, working on projects the state asked for, you rarely get to see how it all turns out. 1/7

A 🧵 to ponder.
