All your senators need to hear from you—not just the Democrats, although you should be sure to give them what-for. They are continuing to collaborate with fascism when they could be following the very easy @indivisible.org playbook instead. indivisible.org/resource/exp...
Friends, call your rep, but call your senators too!
If you’re a constituent of David Valadao, Ken Calvert, or Young Kim you have more power to fight for Medicaid by making a phone call than 99% of Californians.
Call tonight, then call again tomorrow before 4PM
Screenshot of an email from NTEU. It says: NTEU Response to “What Did You Do Last Week?” Email NTEU Members, Today, an email from HR@opm.gov was sent to all employees with the subject "What did you do last week?" The email asks that employees respond by Monday, 11:59 PM EST. NTEU is advising all employees NOT to immediately respond to this email and to await further guidance. Once again, agencies were caught off guard by these emails, just like the chaotic "Fork in the Road" email. This email is yet another attempt by the administration to scare hardworking civil servants who deliver for the American people every day. It is shameful. We will update you soon.
Federal employees, unions are advising not to respond to the “what did you do last week” email.
Everyone else—not saying you should necessarily email HR@opm.gov with your accomplishments to put up on the fridge, but if you felt so inclined, consider a temporary email like tempmail.altmails.com
A Democrathicc Party to make FDR look like a conservative

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State.
H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.
"We think too much and feel too little: more than machinery we need humanity; more than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost."

Three updates:
1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.
I remember when Attorney General Pam Bondi said she'd protect federal whistleblowers in her confirmation hearing.
Now they're being threatened with illegal "discipline, including dismissal."
People need to recognize this is likely to incite stochastic terrorism
Those students were either expelled or disciplined, so not sure why you think anyone would be protesting now

Let’s talk about why authoritarians fear expertise.🧵👇 #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

I've taken anti-depressants on & off for decades. They saved me during debilitating depression in college, and later after my father died suddenly and unexpectedly. They helped me be a good parent despite PPD and the long-term anxiety it produced.
Antidepressants help people. This is evil.

So RFK, Jr.'s coming for me, personally. And probably a whole bunch of other people you care about.

The majority of probationary employees are likely to be highly skilled and qualified. For example, attorneys may be probationary even if they have served as government attorneys before if their new job functions differ in some way from the responsibilities in their former role.
“Elon Musk is firing military veteran firefighters for no reason” is the biggest slam dunk in political messaging history, Dems should be shouting it into the world’s biggest bullhorn from the top of the Washington Monument.
