The cost of the deployment, which the senators project will come to $602 million over 12 months, eclipses the entire D.C. police budget, w/ the deployment including nearly 2,500 National Guard members at any given time. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Nine months out from the midterm elections, we face a coordinated effort by Trump, his administration, congressional Republicans and MAGA leaders to normalize a federal takeover of elections, enforced by ICE and federal agents. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/one-...

🙌🙌🙌 Judge Ana Reyes Secretary Noem, the record to-date shows, does not have the facts on her side-or at least has ignored them. Does not have the law on her side-or at least has ignored it. Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, she pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).

Most cars with an auto unlock feature can also have that feature disabled. Whether to protect yourself from gov agents or as a smart safety choice in itself, you should consider turning auto unlock off. Be smart. Be safe.

“As the climate becomes more chaotic and potentially destructive, the importance of a strong FEMA will only grow. The agency's best assets would be a president and Congress that recognize this importance and behave accordingly.” #fema

Trump's gutting of agencies doesn't just harm dedicated federal workers like my constituent Claire, who enforced fair housing laws at HUD. It harms the communities and the people they deserve, and it prevents agencies from fulfilling their mission.

Real people and communities are affected by FEMAs action or inaction. This is an example of the human side of DHS’s, under Noem’s leadership, policies. must (not all) are a direct result of the requirement to personally approve all funding over $100k. insideclimatenews.org/news/2901202...

(1/7) Today, the CG released a statement about "Combatting Sexual Assault." A link to a summary is below for anyone interested - the original "Action Order" was attributed to and sent out from the email account of the Commandant, ADM Kevin Lunday. www.mycg.uscg.mil/News/Article...

This is a FedGov attack on EVERY state, blessed by a federal court, in defiance of the Constitutional separation of powers and the sovereignty of states (dual sovereigns). Without sovereign states conducting their own elections without interference, there is no Constitution, no FedGov.

1st Amendment - right to assemble = Renee was killed 1st Amendment + 2nd Amendment = Alex was killed 4th Amendment - warrants required = ChongLy "Scott" Thao abducted 10th amendment- powers reserved for states = the fed govt overides state & local authority on rebuilding & land-use decisions.

💔💔💔

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti Absolutely heartbreaking

Kristi Noem deserves to be impeached for the things you know about: mass deportation policies that have gotten Americans killed. But folks aren't talking enough about what she's not doing: keeping us safe. She's gutting disaster relief agencies and putting us all at risk.

Join us in honoring Alex’s memory this week by wearing black.

Now would be a great time to advocate for FEMA to be a cabinet level position in its own right. As it stands now, their funding is tied to DHS and ICE.

Anyway, I invite AltNPS and everyone else to share this list of Twin Cities-area organizations, food distribution networks, and mutual aid links. It's got everything. From legal aid links to a GoFundMe for Circulo Childcare Center in Minneapolis, they could all use some love. Thank you!

It shouldn't take the threat of a winter storm for this admin to take disaster preparedness seriously. I led a demand to end workforce cuts at FEMA with Sen. Peters and will continue to advocate for a FEMA that is prepared to help our communities when disaster strikes.

Holy shit.

We have a very serious weather event this weekend. As it unfolds in your location please let us know how things are and send pictures too, As @roguenoaa.altgov.info indicated We may be able to document the impact of crippling #NOAA and #FEMA. Stay safe. Stay warm

It is abhorrent she is spewing lies about this shooting in the house of the agency whose mission is to help people. We are not the same, get out of our house.

For Alex and all the others.

RIP Alex.

It is absolutely ridiculous that this had to be reported. This is a dangerous storm, in many areas it is an Ice storm. But because this administration is worried about names, FEMA can’t use the words Ice storm. People’s lives are at stake (in more ways than one) www.cnn.com/2026/01/23/p...

We’ve been absent a while… because, well It’s been a lot. but we are back. 👋 Hi friends.

This resonated deeply for me—gift link for easy access. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/o...

#AltCitizen assignment!!!!!! Please sign this petition and share widely!!!!! This is our history and we have to fight for it to not be destroyed!!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

We’ve been wanting to do a post on how these terminations are not routine as statements from DHS have asserted. So buckle up for this 🧵 CORE employees are typically appointed to FEMA for 2 years. At the end of that term supervisors must submit justifications to renew. federalnewsnetwork.c... 1/11

As federal workers,we see the harm a lawless administration inflicts daily. This week ICE Killed another person, Renee Good.Instead of accountability,the administration pushes a false narrative that slanders her memory and insults the public. scienceandfreedomalliance.substack.com/p/statement-...

I can’t comment so I’m left Only with reposting calling out @altdhs.altgov.info on this post is wrong, Altgov accounts oppose this regime and don’t agree with its tactics, policy or ideology. Please Don’t.

Today in Oh Hell No

If FEMA matters you , and it should, I’d be calling my senators to make sure they support the senate appropriations bill that preserves FEMA staff. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/c...

Finally a reporter pointing out the lawlessness. “The Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act, the DHS secretary is prohibited from taking actions that “substantially or significantly reduce the authorities, responsibilities,or functions” of FEMA. wapo.st/3Z3WrN3

Yeah…this. We need to disconnect from all this. I Spent lots of time in my art studio painting.

Happy new year! The @fedworkersunited.bsky.social DMV Hub will be back at City-State Public House this Monday to regroup after the holidays and create art for the #PAWAToThePeople rally on January 14. Can you make it? Tell your friends and coworkers and RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/fun-f... #PAWA

Freedom and liberty are protected by the rule of law. Without things like due process, freedom & liberty become privileges, not rights. I believe everyone deserves these self evident things, not just rich white people who can pay the tribute. So, no, I won't be defending it like Donald Trump.

ALERT: The Trump Administration is dismantling NASA’S Goddard Library and BURNING ARCHIVES!! #SaveNASA #NASANeedsHelp #altgov

I know it’s not unprecedented. I also know it’s still not right or just. And it doesn’t change the fact that normalizing and legitimizing it endangers all countries.

Louder 👏for👏people👏in👏the👏back👏 Normalising and legitimising this behaviour endangers all countries - democracies and dictatorships alike.

I appreciate the points raised in this article, especially the ones that rarely break through the zeitgeist but matter deeply. federalnewsnetwork.c... Let’s talk about the rise in stress and loneliness. The article notes: 1/15

Thoughtful and insightful story from Gabe Cohen. Which I appreciate! www.cnn.com/2026/01/01/p...

“It turns out that DHS’s vision of an imagined past resonates with quite a few people. Recent polling from Gallup finds that the Department is the only federal agency to see a significant increase in its job rating in 2025.“ open.substack.com/pub/kenklipp...

Mamdani: "While only action can change minds, I promise you this: If you are a New Yorker, I am your mayor. Regardless of whether we agree I will protect you, celebrate with you, mourn along side you, and not for a second hide from you."

These folks are doing good work and are the real deal! Go check out their starter pack,

::sigh:: there could be a lot more detail and information in this. Were the employees in what the agency arbitrarily calls non mission critical positions. Was their not to exceed (NTE) date Jan 2?

This is such a thoughtful piece. It really shines the light on the significance of resistance inside the govt. While he talks about the alt-gov accounts on Bsky, there’s also a whole parallel alt gov contingency (separate from us but doing the sane work) on Instagram too. #altgov

Ok, so can we all agree now that Trump et al. started the year off with the intention of destroying science? I’m tired of having to talk people out of diplomatic and graceful explanations of this crap. 😫

we are kinda sorta ready to usher in a new year. we only have 8 months on bluesky. but here is our wrapped. we are recruiting a new bestie because apparently @altstategov.altgov.info is everyone’s bestie. nominate yourself in the comments. www.madebyolof.com/bluesky-wrap...

This Monday marked one year since the loss of Jimmy Carter, who established #FEMA in 1979. Carter was explicit about his intent. One of his founding promises was to ensure FEMA “would not become part of a larger agency.” 1/9
