Our #socialsecurityadministration has been around since 1934. That’s 90+ years!

But it’s in need of reform, like many of our country’s other government-led agencies. Why?

For one, our benefits in comparison to other countries are lower. Below average to be specific.

What's it gonna take for everyone to realize the occupant of the white house is fundamentally anti-American?
Trump thinks anyone protesting must be from another country when the right and will to protest our own government is a foundational American value.

Donald Trump just admitted Elon Musk leads DOGE after telling a federal court that Elon Musk does not lead DOGE.

Judge Chutkan, the DOJ lied.

As the nation reels from the humiliating actions of Trump and his Russian allies. A collective gasp of disbelief can be heard around the world.

The US President is insane.

In a rational world congress would declare the him unfit and remove him.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

🖋️ “Restore U.S. Forestry Positions to Mitigate Wildfire Risks” hit 100 signers!
Restore U.S. Forestry Positions to Mitigate Wildfire Risks
Text SIGN PITOEX to 50409 — Today I take pen in hand to write and urge you to do whatever you can to block the termination of thousands of U.S. Forest Service employees. This action, started by the Trump administration, and ignored by Republicans jeopardizes our ability to prevent and combat wildfires effectively. Secretary Brooke Rollins supports Trump’s directive to fire about 2,000 “probationary, non-firefighting employees,” which he said was for efficiency’s sake, and runs contrary to what anyone says about the need for ‘better forest management’.   The layoffs have reduced the workforce responsible for crucial tasks like maintaining trails, removing combustible debris, and supporting firefighting efforts. Funds have also been frozen for wildfire prevention programs. This administration, from the top to the Republican controlled Congress, is putting lives, property and infrastructure at risk in a climate unstable, warming world, a side effect of our use of fossil fuels. With fewer resources dedicated to wildfire mitigation, communities across the American West face an increased risk of destructive blazes, especially in areas where towns border forest lands. We urge you to block these layoff, unfreeze the funds, and indeed work to provide additional resources crucial for wildfire prevention. Thank you.

I’m in a couple of these subs and people are *overwhelmingly* in favor of the bans.
There is a growing movement among Reddit subs to ban links to X / Twitter.

I fully support this.

This is wild shit. Don’t you DARE be giving up your colleagues.
These emails, sent across agencies, compel all federal employees to snitch on any colleague whose work might have some vague DEIA inflection. Those who refuse to snitch will be disciplined.

Seems designed to put all workers who aren’t white men under a cloud of suspicion. Truly vile stuff.
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."

Why? Why do we want to increase unemployment? Why do we hate the idea of our government providing work? Gov jobs have gotten us out of and kept us out of recessions. Make it make sense.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

This is NOT NORMAL, folks.

These billionaires are planning to use the Trump Administration to milk every penny they can out of the rest of us.

We need to have a united front on this, regardless of party.

This is workers vs. oligarchs now. #StopTheOligarchy
