Statement by Yosemite NPS workers: “These losses, while deeply personal and impactful, may also be invisible to visitors and members of the public — we are shining a spotlight on them by putting a distress flag on El Capitan in view of Firefall. Think of it as your public lands on strike.”

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

There is much in the history of medicine that I think might be usefully resurrected…miasma is not one of them.
Although, one of the clever things about RFK is that he takes seemingly uncontroversial things ‘environment plays a role in disease’, lures people in, and then turns it on its head.

If you don't know the history of science, before Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch & John Snow in the 19th century, people thought diseases were caused by "bad air" or "miasma." @aetiology.bsky.social documents how #RFKJr. is bringing back miasma theory in the 21st. It's beyond insane and dangerous. 1/

Sincerely, federal employees: hold the line, don't resign. Partly because if you do resign, you categorically will not get paid whatever nonsensical severance you've been offered– it sounds too good to be true because it obviously is.

Trump is offering all federal workers a buyout with seven months’ pay to shrink the government—but that’s not the whole story. Reports reveal some employees are being pressured to resign or face termination under the guise of organizational restructuring. In short: take the buyout or be fired.
