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.

If making America great again requires you to pay more for everything, lose your retirement savings, work more for less pay, be unable to afford health insurance, become an indentured servant to the oligarchs, maybe you were better off with the no so great version.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Hi Ken, I'm a pilot and received this email from an airport manager about an issue that has been a growing problem for years in the Bay Area, and is now growing even worse; San Carlos airport is an airport within 10 miles of San Francisco International airport, and it will have no air traffic controllers starting on February 1st. The departure route for San Carlos directly overlaps the arrival path of San Francisco. San Carlos also hosts two of the areas largest flight schools. This means you now have a situation where inexperienced pilots will be departing into highly complex airspace, using solely their own judgement and reading of charts, so as to not collide with aircraft landing at San Francisco. This happened because the airport operates off an FAA contract for staffing controllers, rather than the FAA directly providing controllers. This system has always been tenuous. It was previously not uncommon for the contractor to only provide a single controller for all traffic; there are recordings on Youtube of the tower needing to shut down because the controller had to use the bathroom and no one else was working. Now, a new contractor has underbid the existing, and decided to remove cost of living adjustments for staff. All controllers have left, and the new contractor plans to operate the airport with no controllers (this means the pilots need to coordinate with each other instead). system has always been tenuous. it was previously not uncommon for the contractor to only provide a single controller for all traffic; there are recordings on Youtube of the tower needing to shut down because the controller had to use the bathroom and no one else was working.

All controllers have left, and the new contractor plans to operate the airport with no controllers (this means the pilots need to coordinate with each other instead) . I've been disturbed by the operation of contract towers ever since becoming a pilot. During the first Trump administration, I feared what privatization of all air traffic control would bring. After Trump posted about ATC being at fault in last night's mid air collision in DC, I'm concerned they will use this as a spring board to push for more private towers. I write this to you to say that this will bring more safety risks, and more people need to understand a real life example of what chaos a contract tower can create when put in such busy and complicated airspace. Thank you for your time, sorry to bother you with an email, but the accident last night has been a tipping point and I don't know how else to spread awareness.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Breaking on @MSNBC:

23 state attorneys general have filed a lawsuit seeking to block the federal aid freeze from taking effect.

The lawsuit asks for a temporary restraining order, calling Trump's move "arbitrary and capricious."

We should add Bishop Mariann Budde to the list.

I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.
Reasons to Live Through the Apocalypse Sunrises. People you have still to meet and laugh with. Songs about love, peace, anger, and revolution. Walks in the woods. The smile you exchange with a stranger when you experience beauty accidentally together. Butterflies. Seeing your grandparents again. The moon in all her forms, whether half or full. Dogs. Birthdays and half-birthdays. That feeling of floating in love. Watching birds eat from bird feeders. The waves of happiness that follow the end of sadness. Brown eyes. Watching a boat cross an empty sea. Sunsets. Dipping your feet in the river. Balconies. Cake. The wind in your face when you roll the car window down on an open highway. Falling asleep to the sound of a steady heartbeat. Warm cups of tea on cold days. Hugs. Night skies. Art museums. Books filled with everything you do not yet know. Long conversations. Long-lost friends. Poetry.

NEW: The US Office of Personnel Management has issued a memo to all federal agencies to terminate remote work and submit a plan by *tomorrow* for full compliance.

Full text:
MEMORANDUM TO: Heads and Acting Heads of Departments and Agencies FROM: Charles Ezell, Acting Director, U.S. Office of Personnel Management DATE: January 22, 2025 RE: Guidance on Presidential Memorandum Return to In-Person Work. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is providing the following guidance to agencies regarding President Trump’s Presidential Memorandum (PM), Return to In-Person Work. I. Authority OPM is issuing this guidance under the Telework Enhancement Act of 2010, which requires agencies to consult with OPM in developing telework policies1 and tasks OPM with providing policy and policy guidance,2 as well assisting agencies with establishing teleworking goals.3 This guidance also implements OPM Director’s statutory duties to “secur[e] accuracy, uniformity, and justice in the functions of the Office” and “execut[e], administer[], and enforc[e] . . .the civil service rules and regulations of the President and the Office and the laws governing the civil service.”4 II. Background President Trump was elected with the mandate to increase the efficiency and accountability of the federal workforce. A glaring roadblock is that most federal offices presently are virtually abandoned. The vast majority of federal office workers have not returned to in-person work, even though the COVID-19 pandemic ended years ago.5 Many federal office workers never show up to the federal worksite at all.6 Federal office buildings sit mostly empty, particularly Washington, D.C.-area agency headquarters offices, devastating the local economy and serving as a national embarrassment.7 Virtually unrestricted telework has led to poorer government services and made it more difficult to supervise and train government workers.8 Fairness requires that federal office employees show up to the worksite each day like most other American workers. In addition, during the Biden Administration, federal unions attempted to abuse the collective-bargaining process to guarantee full-time telework into the indefinite future and forestall any requirement to return to the office.9 The President’s PM directs agency heads to “take all necessary steps to terminate remote work arrangements and require employees to return to work in-person at their respective duty stations on a full-time basis” “as soon as practicable.” It allows agency heads to “make exemptions they deem necessary” and directs that the directive “be implemented consistent with applicable law.” The PM reflects a simple reality. The only way to get employees back to the office is to adopt a centralized policy requiring return-to-work for all agencies across the federal government.10 Seeking to cajole individual agencies to try to get employees to return to the worksite has not succeeded.11 III. Steps for Agencies to Return to Workers to the Office In light of the PM, agencies should take the following steps to return workers to the office. No later than 5:00 pm EST on Friday, January 24, 2025: 1. The agency head or acting agency head should revise their agency’s telework policy issued under 5 U.S.C. § 6502(a)(1)(A) to state that eligible employees must work full time at their respective duty stations unless excused due to a disability, qualifying medical condition, or other compelling reason certified by the agency head and the employee’s supervisor. 2. The agency head or acting agency head should email all employees notifying them of President Trump’s PM Return to In-Person Work, attach a copy of the PM, and notify employees of the agency’s intention to fully comply with the PM. (A copy of the PM is attached as Appendix 1). 3. The agency should notify OPM of the agency’s Telework Managing Officer, and assign that individual responsibility for complying with the guidance herein. Agencies should advise OPM of the date that the agency will be in full compliance with the new telework policy. If an employee’s official duty station is more than 50 miles from any existing agency office, the agency should take steps to move the employee’s duty station to the most appropriate agency office based on the employee’s duties and job function. OPM recommends that agencies set a target date of approximately 30 days for full compliance with the PM, subject to any exclusions granted by the agency and any collective bargaining obligations. Please send all reports requested by this document to tracking@opm.gov. Do not hesitate to contact OPM if you have any questions regarding these matters by email to tracking@opm.gov. cc: Chief Human Capital Officers (CHCOs), Deputy CHCOs, and Human Resources Directors Appendix 1: President Trump’s Presidential Memorandum Return to In-Person Work. Heads of all departments and agencies in the executive branch of Government shall, as soon as practicable, take all necessary steps to terminate remote work arrangements and require employees to return to work in-person at their respective duty stations on a full-time basis, provided that the department and agency heads shall make exemptions they deem necessary. This memorandum shall be implemented consistent with applicable law.
