Today was hard. Being a federal employee is tough right now. Here’s some flowers in the sagebrush.

The desert started springing a couple weeks ago.

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.

HAIRCUTS.

This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.
GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation
The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

Someone actually pre-drafted a #FOIA request for you to send directly to #DOGE so that you can find out what personal information of yours that ketamine-addled doofus has. Here's a link to it. Happy hunting.

When you’re at a wildlife biology conference and someone tries to give you directions, “over by the woman in plaid…” you’re going to have to be more specific than that 💀

We'll say it again because certain people need to hear it: pay for federal workers accounts for just 4.3% of the budget.

If the federal government were to fire every single worker, it would only reduce government spending by less than 5%.

What DOGE is doing is just cruelty.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Get yourself a partner who likes the opposite part of the brownie. That’s true compatibility.

This is real. It’s in my inbox. FML.
Elon Musk instructed federal workers to respond to an email summarizing their weekly accomplishments, a tactic he previously used to downsize staff at X. “Please reply to this email with approximately five bullet points of what you accomplished this week and CC your manager,” the message stated.
