A federal judge ruled DOGE’s termination of more than 1,400 National Endowment for the Humanities grants was unconstitutional and ordered the funding restored. It may take time to undo the damage, but this ruling is proof that fighting back matters and that public institutions are worth defending.

These so called “love taps” are actually an illegal war that is putting our service members and innocent civilians at risk.

Federal Workers for Democracy’s new mission statement: to empower federal workers to uphold their Oath of Office by fighting authoritarianism & defending the public good. We are evolving because this moment demands it. We do not serve a political party or a president. We serve the American people.

The U.S. Postal Service is considering allowing people to ship handguns through the mail for the first time in nearly 100 years

The Trump Administration has gutted the federal workforce, driving unemployment rates up across the nation & tearing apart programs & services that millions of Americans desperately need. This Public Service Recognition Week, we must remember the ways federal workers deliver for our country.[1/2]

A day to remember. #MayDay

#MayDay. Labor rights are under attack. Public service is on the line. We see what’s happening and we’re speaking out. You can help by visiting the link below ⬇️ actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

#DOGE officials are setting up shop across government agencies they sought to destroy. Now they’re eyeing login.gov to accelerate something far more dangerous: a federal surveillance apparatus hiding in plain sight. This isn’t over, and we can’t afford to look away. www.wired.com/story/a-doge...

Hey all, urgent call for all of you this morning: OPM's trying to change RIF rules to make our federal government more like the private sector more than ever. PLEASE file a comment by May 4th. www.regulations.gov/document/OPM...

FRIDAY is #MayDay. The nation is standing up in support of labor rights. No work. No school. No shopping. In solidarity with the movement, Federal workers can abstain from shopping and participate in actions to support labor rights while on authorized leave. www.mobilize.us/mayday/event...

Rep. Omar reacts to the return to duty of the ICE agent involved in the killing of Renee Nicole Good. Omar: It's really, really heartbreaking that we can't get accountability and justice for the murder of Renee Good. I do hope something shifts and that we are able to get accountability for this.

Thank you @govwesmoore.bsky.social for supporting federal workers who are being impacted by the Trump administration’s reckless decisions. It goes far beyond the federal workforce. When public servants are pushed out, it puts US air quality, food safety, & schools at risk in disastrous ways.

Thousands of dedicated federal workers have been pushed out, and now many are still fighting to find jobs in one of the toughest markets in years. Public service was never meant to be a political tool. We serve the American people...not just one party, and certainly not a king.

What Rep Grijalva laid out here is exactly what happens when Trump guts the federal workforce and allows DOGE and AI to make decisions: real consequences for the health and safety of the American people.

Totally agree! It's not just NIH or science. Through groups like @workers4democracy.bsky.social, I am connected with folks across many gov't agencies (within and beyond science) who are facing the exact same dilemma. And it's not just within government - anyone who receives federal funding, too.

RFK Jr. just said HHS is "cleaning up the risk pool" (i.e., people who are unhealthy) to bring down healthcare costs.

ICYMI: Our unqualified HHS Secretary, #RFK Jr., had a lot to say about the 20K employees and experts he fired. [thread 1/3]

Gather around, everyone📖 Today’s story is about how DOGE treated our government like a playground and left us to deal with the consequences. If you’re a federal worker wondering what resistance can actually look like in the face of all this, we’ve got you. Click the link in our bio. [More 1/3]

Federal workers are asking what resistance actually looks like. We built this for you. Our Resistance Menu is now live, with real, actionable ways to show up. This graphic is only a snapshot. Start here: federalworkersfordemocracy.org/resistance-m...

U.S. military members are saying no to illegal orders; you can too.

This isn’t mismanagement or even strategy. Trump and Vought are actively destabilizing our government to justify tearing it apart. [thread 1/3] time.com/article/2026...

Quotes from NIH workers on the April 1 RIFs, collected by @27unihted.bsky.social “...the worst part was the utter senselessness—when they RIFed my colleagues, they sent the message... that they can bully all of us and hold everyone at the agency hostage...” — Anonymous www.27unihted.org/the-nih-rif

BREAKING: Trump & Zeldin violated EPA workers' First Amendment rights, even when warned of the risk. The "Declaration of Dissent" letter was executed on personal time, & the retaliation was a legal & ethical violation. Thank you to the EPA workers who took a stand. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...

The number one rule for No Kings 3 tomorrow is DO NOT INTERACT WITH COUNTER PROTESTERS! Do not talk, do not argue, do not react to their words, their single-finger salute, or their rolling coal. DO NOT ENGAGE!!!! You safety team is ready to deal with any negative people.

Trump wants to rule over us as a tyrant. But this is America, and power belongs to the people - not to wannabe kings or their billionaire buddies. Tomorrow is #NoKingsDay. Let’s do this. Register via the link in our bio or here: www.nokings.org/?SQF_SOURCE=fwad

Three days. It’s time to put the pressure on our government to serve the people and not their self-interests. Join us to remind them that in America, there are #NoKings. Register via the link in our bio or here: nokings.org/?SQF_SOURCE=fwad

It is an insult. #TSA needs funding not #ICE.

Grant terminations had deep impacts on all early career scientists, running counter to Bhattacharya’s stated interest in supporting them. The terminations disproportionately harmed early career women. www.fiercebiotech.com/research/nih...

It’s not rocket science. Congress has had multiple chances to pay #TSA officers, & failed every single time. Meanwhile, the people who keep our airports safe are being forced to work without pay or walk off the job, leading to staffing shortages and hours-long security lines across the country.[1/2]

As President Trump escalates his attempts to control us, it is on us, the people, to show that we will fight to protect one another and our country. We are coming together again on March 28. Join a #NoKingsDay rally near you: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=f... #nokingsday👑🚫

Who could have guessed Trump’s careless attempt at “reforming” the federal government would backfire? 🤔🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ #doge #trump #supportfederalworkers

Help NIH staff give OMB Director & Project 2025 author Russell Vought the birthday he deserves. actionnetwork.org/forms/civil-...

In ten days on Mar 26, OMB Director & Project 2025 author Russell Vought celebrates his 50th birthday!! 1/3

Over the past year, thousands of federal workers have lost their jobs. But even in the face of that loss, many have stepped up in powerful ways to support others & keep showing up. Thank you to WellFed for sharing your story & helping shine a light on what resilience & community truly look like.

Bhattacharya says that if a study has the chance of improving minority health it will be funded. This is patently false. Studies on entire branches of science in this field have been terminated or rejected a priori.

DHS bought a warehouse in Social Circle, Georgia, for a new detention center. When the city asked them for information on needed water and sewage use, they refused to answer, so the city cut off the water and sewage and locked it down until they get a proper answer. www.cbsnews.com/atlanta/news...

#Trump and #RFK Jr’s approach to public health is clear: weaken the CDC and drive out the experts who protect Americans. When leadership fails and resources vanish, the consequences will ripple through every community in this country.

There was no conflict of interest. There was no ethics issue. There was no Hatch Act violation. Just brave federal employees opposing Trump administration’s policies that undermine the EPA’s mission of protecting human health and the environment. www.eenews.net/articles/zel...

Federal workers have the right to refuse unlawful orders. We cannot promise there will be no consequences, but our oath to the Constitution comes first. Proud of these officers for taking the risk and standing on the right side of the law. #accountability #dhs #trump #supportfederalworkers

Our mission: defend public servants & protect the programs millions rely on. We are raising $50K by 3/21 to train federal workers to recognize unlawful directives, block dangerous staff cuts, & grow our coalition. Small acts can create big impact, donate $5 today! actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

The officer who killed Ruben Ray Martinez has been identified as Homeland Security Investigations agent Jack Stevens.

DOGE had a culture of blatant disregard for the law & somehow still increased government spending. If true, this another example of their reckless leadership putting millions of Americans at risk. We deserve secure systems, data guardrails, and federal workers empowered to protect our privacy.

The Trump administration tanked the US job market—costing Americans 92K jobs in February 2026 alone. Now their strategy is to hire only those loyal to Trump who are ready and willing to ignore our democratic values and bend the knee to Trump’s corrupt commands.

This must be the government efficiency the administration promised us - gutting the agencies that protect our safety, food, healthcare and then scrambling to clean up what they’ve destroyed. #supportfederalworkers

Mullin is stepping in to replace Noem and escalate the war on the American people, volunteering to carry out Trump’s orders to target Americans and migrants. DHS employees: now is the time to talk with your colleagues. Know your rights. You can refuse illegal orders.

In moments of crisis, federal workers carry enormous responsibility. We offer: • Legal awareness training • Reporting pathway education • Peer support resources • And tools to recognize and resist threats to public service actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

Trump is using the Defense Department as a tool to violate the Constitution. These unauthorized strikes on Iran are putting US troops, the American public, and so many others in mortal danger. The stakes are simply too high to comply with these illegal orders.

On March 28th we’re coming together in cities and states across the country, united to say: In America we have #NoKings. Find an event near you or register your own. www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=f...

WATCH: Dr. @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social joined @vanhollen.senate.gov at the People’s #SOTU to push back on Trump’s false claims at the State of the Union address. And these attacks go far beyond NIH, hitting agencies across the federal government & the institutions Americans rely on every day.
