I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes
Video obtained by CNN shows the rear landing gear of the jet buckling and the right wing shearing away in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway.

It is mind-boggling to me that people say "but I had to comply with the fascists because otherwise there would be some cost—"

NO FUCKING KIDDING. Did you think you'd never have to make a hard choice in Fascist America? That you wouldn't be asked to sacrifice someone and be rewarded for it?? JFC

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding”

Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure.

We are all in this together, and we all go down together.

I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

FWIW, the choice was scrubbing their website or potentially closing down because their funding was turned off. Sure they could have sued, but what then?

Went to Magpie Fibers to buy dpns for my wip and came home with four skeins of OOAK Plume. In my defense, they were a great deal! 😬 #showmeyourknits #magpiefibers #stashproblems
Three skeins of blue-green-grey yarn. Plume by Magpie.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Everyone's posting their Superb Owl pics for today's big day, so here's mine since I'm a Library Media Teacher. The Owl Diaries is one of my highest circulated series for developing-to-transitional readers. Not unrelated: Eva the Owl would've made a better president. #superbowl #booksky

State sanctioned treason. The US Attorney General just vowed, in writing, to protect Elon Musk at all costs, over the American people. IF YOU'RE NOT CALLING YOUR SENATORS AND REPS DM ME AND I'LL DO IT FOR YOU CAUSE THIS IS INSANE.

Warning: the same corporations who took advantage of the pandemic to raise prices will also likely take advantage of the tariffs to raise prices.

Now, more than ever, we will need to support those who are struggling.

Loving Sheine Lende by @littlebadger.bsky.social 💖 I hadn’t even realized there was a prequel out to Elatsoe until last month when I was looking for books to read for my YA Lit class! Love how unique the story is while being connected by family. #booksky

Pacific Knit Co. has released a free and appropriate knitting chart that sums up all the feelings we’re having. I think it’s brilliant. Her charts are a lot of fun, and it’s wonderful that she shares so many like this. Her message is spot on.
Photo of a knitting chart with two green dumpsters on fire. There are “fire-like” stitching designs on top and bottom of the dumpers. The chart is pasted on an orange background. The message on the side says: Things are a mess right now... Donate to your favorite charity or local organization and make change happen.

This is the biggest danger of Trump's EOs.

They are not law, and yet Denver Health is complying in advance, ending all trans surgeries under 19 years of age, including chest masculinization - a rare, but much needed surgery for some trans teens.

Was literally talking to the union representing federal air traffic controllers earlier today about how there’s already a major shortage of air traffic controllers and the resignation offers they all just got from OPM could seriously endanger public safety.

From www.opm.gov/fork

Welcome to rapid fire fascism. An email went out to all federal employees offering instant resignation for anyone who doesn’t want to toe the line.

Screenshots of the website below in case the website ends up hidden.

#forkintheroad
opm.gov An official website of the United States government Here's how you know v ЭРМ U.S. Office of Personnel Management Menu FA OPM.gov / / Fork in the Road Frequently Asked Questions Below is the email that was sent to federal employees on January 28, 2025 presenting a deferred resignation offer. If you did not respond to that email and wish to accept the deferred resignation offer, you may do so by following these steps. 1) Send an email to hr@opm.gov from your government account. Only an email from your •gov or .mil account will be accepted. 2) Type the word "Resign" into the "Subject" line of the email. Hit "Send". Deferred Resignation Email to Federal Employees • opm.gov Deferred Resignation Email to Federal Employees January 28, 2025 During the first week of his administration, President Trump issued a number of directives concerning the federal workforce. Among those directives, the President required that employees return to in-person work, restored accountability for employees who have policy-making authority, restored accountability for senior career executives, and reformed the federal hiring process to focus on merit. As a result of the above orders, the reform of the federal workforce will be significant. The reformed federal workforce will be built around four pillars: W 1) Return to Office: The substantial majority of federal employees who have been working remotely since Covid will be required to return to their physical offices five days a week. Going forward, we also expect our physical offices to undergo meaningful consolidation and divestitures, potentially resulting in physical office relocations for a number of federal workers. 2) Performance culture: The federal workforce should be comprised of the best America has to offer. We will insist on excellence at every level - • opm.gov 2 Performance culture: The federal workforce should be comprised of the best America has to offer. We will insist on excellence at every level - our performance standards will be updated to reward and promote those that exceed expectations and address in a fair and open way those who do not meet the high standards which the taxpayers of this country have a right to demand. 3 More streamlined and flexible workforce: While a few agencies and even branches of the military are likely to see increases in the size of their workforce, the majority of federal agencies are likely to be downsized through restructurings, realignments, and reductions in force. These actions are likely to include the use of furloughs and the reclassification to at-will status for a substantial number of federal employees. 4) Enhanced standards of conduct: The federal workforce should be comprised of employees who are reliable, loyal, trustworthy, and who strive for excellence in their daily work. Employees will be subject to enhanced standards of suitability and conduct as we move forward. Employees who engage in unlawful behavior or other misconduct will be prioritized for appropriate investigation and discipline, including termination. Each of the pillars outlined above will be pursued in accordance with applicable law, consistent with your agency's policies. and to the extent nermitted under • opm.gov Each of the pillars outlined above will be pursued in accordance with applicable law, consistent with your agency's policies, and to the extent permitted under relevant collective-bargaining agreements. If you choose to remain in your current position, we thank you for your renewed focus on serving the American people to the best of your abilities and look forward to working together as part of an improved federal workforce. At this time, we cannot give you full assurance regarding the certainty of your position or agency but should your position be eliminated you will be treated with dignity and will be afforded the protections in place for such positions. If you choose not to continue in your current role in the federal workforce, we thank you for your service to your country and you will be provided with a dignified, fair departure from the federal government utilizing a deferred resignation program. This program begins effective January 28 and is available to all federal employees until February 6. If you resign under this program, you will retain all pay and benefits regardless of your daily workload and will be exempted from all applicable in-person work requirements until September 30, 2025 (or earlier if you choose to accelerate your resignation for any reason). The details of this separation plan can be found below. Whichever path you choose, we thank you for your service to The United States of America. *******
