23andMe has filed for bankruptcy to sell itself, which means any data they hold about you is going to change hands soon. If you're worried about your privacy don't rush in and delete your account - scramble it first. This way, any residual data they retain after deletion will be useless too 🧵

We were told not to share this publicly, but last year was record-breaking—America’s national parks saw over 331 million visits.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”

There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Our coalition has grown rapidly, now standing strong with over 92,000 federal employees. We are united by our oath and our commitment to hold the line. Every day, more of us are being targeted simply for speaking the truth to America.

Heading to the US Treasury with @JasminForUS to ask for a meeting with the unelected, unvetted Elon lackeys who have taken control of the Treasury payments system. We need answers.

The Trump administration is doubling down on its "Fork in the Road" offer to federal employees. Trump has a history of stiffing workers—and there is NO guarantee you will get paid through September 30 as promised.

Maybe by the fifth “Fork in the Road” email the author will learn periods go inside parentheses.

Also December 131, 2025? Someone should use that as a loophole.

Do we think novelist Amanda Scales is the typo-prone author of these? Can we blame BigBalls and the Rye Day School?
New - Another "Fork in the Road" email has gone out to federal employees with FAQs about the deferred resignation program. This is the third they've received.

I vouch for Virginia as a journalist, if you’d like to talk to her.
Scientists who work on government-funded DEI, equity, or health disparity work, I want to talk to you.

How do you plan to continue your efforts in the face of this executive order calling for an end to DEI programs and initiatives?

Just hours after taking the oath of office, Donald Trump took down reproductiverights.gov — a website to help women find health care and understand their rights.

They’re wasting no time assaulting freedom.
