#resist #poliart Please stand up for political cartoonists around the country as they are starting to be pushed out for their content and/or due to "needed cuts". Art has spoken truth to power throughout history and is one of the first things crushed in regimes.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

We were just denied entrance into the EPA after asking to meet with a DOGE representative. More to come.

BREAKING NEWS: Senator John Fetterman STUNS Republicans and announces not only will he vote NO on Tulsi Gabbard but also on RFK JR. Thank you Senator Fetterman.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

Sincere props to a colleague who very obviously is doing his job well.

This is not a U.S. Marshal, Federal Protective Service, or any other federal law enforcement officer. This is a private security guard from Triple Canopy. He has no authority to block members of Congress who have oversight of the EPA from entering the building.

Thank you! A federal judge blocked U.S. DOGE employees from altering any records of payments at the Treasury Department while she weighs a request by public interest groups for a broader injunction against their activity. Thank you, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly’s! 🙏

Don’t mess with @ellenlweintraub.bsky.social

This is supremely fucked up. I mean, I read about this earlier, but to see it in writing is devastating.

Now more than ever.

I'm down Jack, I will not watch. Also, I would like to remind everyone not to shop on Feb 28th. Only go to small businesses. Do not go to Walmart, Target, or Amazon. We might extend for 3 days, so be prepared. Buy nothing. Tell your friends and family . We are trying to make a statement.

Want to see advertisers lose MILLIONS this Sunday? A record-setting low for viewers during the Super Bowl would do that. Money talks and bullshit walks.

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

They were in dc. I’d like to see protests scheduled when they are on recess. Then, no excuses from elected officials. Including local and state politicians.

Well part of it may be because they don’t want to miss key votes. Yesterday there was a vote to subpoena Elon Musk, but it came to the floor without notice and so some missed it and it’s didn’t pass…they actually should be in DC right now

Just gonna post this everyday until it happens.

SCOOP: Cats that became infected with bird flu might have spread the virus to humans in the same household and vice versa, according to data that briefly appeared online in a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but then abruptly vanished. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

NOTABLE: DOJ determines that a Jan. 6 defendant who was convicted of a firearm offense based on a search of his home must return to prison because the firearm charge is NOT covered by Trump's pardon. This was a point of contention among J6ers. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Do you think Merrick Garland is having a pleasant day? Just reading a mystery novel, going for a leisurely walk, learning the day's news from Colbert's opening monologue, solemnly chuckling "someone should have done something about these guys," then weighing which seven-figure memoir offer to take.

muellershewrote.com has some resources for federal workers

Raskin put up a page since he’s got so many feds in his district.

Reddit’s r/fednews has a lot of information. Not quite in guide form, but worth a look

We also need a survival guide for every senior who is cut out of Social Security. I'm already planning not to get my check at the end of this month

The union folks AFGE are excellent. (American Federation of Government Employees) www.afge.org

Exactly. You can’t use the basis of the Constitution that disqualifies you for being an insurrectionist and which you do not respect and for which you have no regard, to try to apply it to others

I found this on financial assistance: feea.org

Information that may be of use to US Federal Employees: www.askamanager.org/2025/01/ques... Please note any severance "offers" are from an administration which *has no authority* to offer them, and is generally bad at paying their bills. Proceed carefully!

Jamie Raskin has created a page for MD residents, but he also has Fed info on it. Maybe this is helpful? raskin.house.gov/resources-fo...

Yes, this is the best set of guidance out there, at least that I've seen. Civil Service Strong is headed up by legal genius Rob Shriver, Acting and Deputy OPM Director during the Biden Administration, and an alum of federal workers' legal powerhouse, the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU).

Jamie Raskin got some fed workforce folk together for this: youtu.be/eZnn302Cp2c

AFSA - The Foreign Service Union - posted a "virtual go bag" of steps to take and documents to back up on a non-USG computer: afsa.org/virtual-go-bag

Several people have asked if anyone has done a survival guide for federal employees — a collection of resources, links, advice, etc. If not hopefully some people knowledgeable about federal employee rights will do it.

You should print out your Social Security Statement. Elon and who knows how many countless others now have access to your private information, so it'd be wise to have a record of it.

US union members protested at the Utah statehouse as pro MAGA lawmakers are trying to take away the freedom for public service workers to have union representation and protections against corporate oligarchs. (📹 AFSCME) #3E #USprotests #Unions

not trying to minimize the harms being done but please believe the country supports trans kids your enemies are made of paper

super bowl ad not even kidding about this, do a super bowl ad about how Elon has your social security number and can shut off your grandma's check at any time

elon: telling ppl who works for me is a crime economic times of india: here is every life detail of the Indian kid

NSF is hearing 25 to 50% of staff to be laid off within two months. So yeah, coercive.

Federal employees: Download your eOPF onto a thumb drive. Now.

Have any members of Congress been reaching out to federal employees to offer assistance or to collect information about what’s happening in your offices?
