The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

OPM is planning to fire all employees on probation (less than one year of employment). Agencies have until noon on Wednesday to submit a list of probationary employees to the OPM and indicate whether they wish to retain them—though it has been stated that this will not make a difference.

#NothingButProtests

We will be restricting social media posting tomorrow to coverage of the protests, and ask everyone to do the same. Let’s overwhelm the algorithms and make it wall-to-wall protests.

The @nationalsecuritylaw.org OPM lawsuit that has been pending in the background got a boost today, when the plaintiffs were granted the ability to proceed under pseudonyms by Chief Judge James Boasberg. They have now filed a motion for a TRO, and the case was assigned to Judge Randolph Moss.

For all federal employees:

Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs.

If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

The Trump administration blamed the dismantling of USAID on its workers’ high levels of “insubordination.” Nothing like gaslighting America.

New resignation emails have been sent out with added fine print and stricter terms. Some contracts now require employees to work through February 28 before being placed on paid leave by March 1, contradicting earlier claims that no work would be required.
