Big national media outlet still failing.
Headlines suggest some dispute over data access at US AID.
*Not connecting the dots with other DOGE moves.
*Not conveying illegality.

Some fed employees have been advised to download their
Electronic Official Personnel Folder (eOPF) because they're hearing OPM is planning to cut off access tomorrow.

The folder includes all personal identifying info, performance reviews, benefits selections, raises.

Unclear why they'd do this.

📣 MAJOR MAJOR PSA 📣

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR A PROTEST. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO "REGISTER" TO SHOW SOLIDARITY. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, AND PHONE NUMBER TO HAND OUT AND DISTRIBUTE MATERIALS.

YOU JUST SHOW UP.

He is on a warpath against USAID, and the cruelty it will unleash is going to be immense. USAID provides emergency aid after natural disasters, tries to improve child health and nutrition, promotes good governance, funds literacy programs and programs that empower women, works on food security, etc.

"... As it turns out, people with evil principles are very loyal to the party that promises evil and delivers it.

There's a flip side to that coin. When a party actually is illegitimate, and you treat them as legitimate anyway, then people start to think you don't believe anything."
I wrote about the fascist party that's taking power, the deepest natural laws that they oppose, the ways that this opposition renders them fundamentally, illegitimate no matter what power they hold, and what that means for all of us.

You won't believe this. My team and I make this show called SciShow that works hard to be rigorous and accurate while also being appealing and entertaining.

We reach a LOT of people every year with episodes about crabs and neutrinos and gender and cancer and vaccines.

It's great, I love it.
