Let this sink in. And keep taking action.

“Energy and persistence conquer all things.” — Benjamin Franklin

Photo: October 18, 2025 #NoKings march in Philadelphia
A sign is visible among protesters marching in the street. It says, "Benjamin Franklin was right about everything. Trump royally abuses power. Distributing money 'among his partisans.' Paying troops 'to suppress resistance.' Using his authority to 'plunder at pleasure.'"

chaos
Part of the judge's order reads: Those who have received RIF notices cannot prepare for their upcoming terminations because the human resources staff who would typically assist them are also furloughed. One union president representing workers at the centers for disease control and prevention described how human resources staff were brought back into the office last weekend to work on issuing RIF notices, and then, once they had completed this work, were told to leave RIF issues to themselves." Dkt. No. 47-3 ("Jacobs 's. Decl.") 2, 7. Unions are hearing from members who have serious health conditions or are in the late stages of pregnancy, and who worry that their health insurance will be impacted by the riffs, but there is no one in the office who can answer their questions during the shutdown.

Turns out I did get a photo of the bird. Barely. Can you spot the Great Crested Flycatcher?
Photo in a thickly wooded area, with one prominent tree trunk surrounded by leafy branches from other trees. Dots of blue sky break up the green.
