It’s official: Elon Musk’s staffers have now illegally obtained classified information from the USAID office.

Here’s a recap of what’s happening:

5 ways to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth (cause the fed govt doesn’t run your house)

1. Find out what Sojourner Truth REALLY said
2. Buy a Black horror, scifi or fantasy book
3. Listen to “Naima” by John Coltrane
4. Send the victims of the LA fires in Altadena a few coins
5. Get a library card

Thanks, @labotomybarbie.bsky.social

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

“As a public health professor, I want to emphasize that this is completely false and dangerous misinformation that would harm Americans. There are numerous other examples of blatant misinformation that came up in the confirmation hearings. RFK Jr. would be a clear and present public health danger if given any authority over our public health systems. His nomination must be opposed for the safety and well-being of all Americans.”

I’ve been leaving voice messages with my PA senators practically every day about RFKJ. Fetterman’s voicemail was full this morning, so I sent a letter mentioning RFKJ’s completely false and dangerous claim that “we should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that's given to White”

Our coalition has grown to 30,000 federal employees. Details regarding new guidance will be distributed. For those not in our coalition, here is a public message: hide any online content that is public, document everything you witness or experience, and keep daily notes at home with dates and times.

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

hey question, is this bad?

Over on the other site Elon Musk said that DOGE stopped $50M of condoms from being delivered to Gaza which Trump the repeated several times but it turns out that was the number for all contraceptive support from USAID everywhere on Earth, of which none went to Palestinians.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I had a friend who was 26 with 4 kids between her and her husband and when she requested a tubal right after delivering her 4th it was denied because 'what if you get divorced and remarried?'.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

This is a slap in the face to American women.

Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations.

Our troops deserve better.

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

The Trump administration has required that all communications and social media posts from federal agencies undergo prior approval before being shared. This directive is currently in effect until the end of the month.

Not suggesting to spam this email—that would be irresponsible ;) —but simply providing it: hr@opm.gov

The footer of the US Department of Labor with the link "Notifications of EEO Violations" highlighted

‼️US Department of Labor has REMOVED the link and a page for reporting violations of Equal Employment Opportunity.

The acting director of the Office of Personnel Management (the feds' H.R. department) is telling federal employees to rat out their DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility) colleagues by emailing "DEIAtruth@opm.gov."

The “A” in DEIA stands for accessibility. Federal workers with disabilities, including many veterans, deserve respect and the opportunity to work in public service. A diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible workplace makes public service better and makes everyone’s lives better.
