👂We're hearing from Feds who are receiving the "what did you do last week" email from an unidentified "HR" account.

To be clear, Feds will spend time (ehem, money):

📝 Writing and sending the email
🤖 Download and then upload ~2M emails to an LLM

...efficient use of tax dollars indeed 🤔💸

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

Always remember the republicans literally declared war against us, any action taken against them is in self-defense. No matter what they say. fascist will lie about any kind of pushback as insurrectionary violence or apocalyptic acts against the state.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

Where you at Dems ? You fighting to get them far better severance or going to ignore them, and all others in similar circumstances?
Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it.

Strong power move for Team Cancer.

If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.
