Now THIS is true leadership on the world stage. In stark contrast to the weak, ignorant clown we currently have in the White House.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF.

Now.

Print hard copies.

And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

There is a limited amount of time to oppose personnel actions. Time is short.

So Elon is just firing heads of agencies that have 32 ongoing investigations into Musks 6 companies.

And this isn’t a conflict of interest.

Got it.

Research shows that strikes engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population (the 3.5% rule) have never failed to bring about change.

3.5% of the US population is 11M people.

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that.

The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct.

What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

Bless them. Also so much gratitude to the many firefighters who are risking their lives currently in California, including (not an all-inclusive list) those from Mexico, Canada, incarcerated individuals, whose very existence is devalued by the incoming regime. They are heroes.

I’m finding myself really struggling with the knowledge that this regime begins very soon. I’m doing all I can to maintain my sense of personal peace while still striving to make the world a better place. I’m curious how others are managing this? #mentalhealth #wellness #electionshaveconsequences

Really feeling like people and organizations are doubling down on the “FAFO” plan for themselves this year. I mean, *I* wouldn’t recommend it, but I guess it’s their choice.

Spent some time knitting early this morning and how I wish our society was designed around ACTUALLY living and ACTUALLY resting, rather than hustle and grind. I perennially feel the grief of how we could be doing things differently, but we don't solely for the comfort and whims of a few rich men.

I heard RFK Jr. is floating the banning of the polio vaccine so seems like a good time to remind folks that RFK Jr. was vaccinated with this same vaccine & therefore is at no risk of harm himself

Kinda like when he publicly was against the covid vaccine yet privately required his guests to have it🙃

Morning Joe co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are now at the stage where they are whining that they are getting pushback from their viewers and guests for going to meet Donald Trump and kissing the ring.

Get bent, Joe and Mika.

And shame on MSNBC for all of this.

I’m a veteran and a former VA employee. Cutting VA benefits would create genuine hardship for so many. Don’t ever thank me for my service if you voted for this regime and support this very necessary help for veterans who have service-connected disabilities. taskandpurpose.com/news/veteran...
A push to cut veterans' disability benefits is gaining traction, experts warn
Many Americans don’t understand how difficult it is for veterans to prove that their health conditions stem from their military service.
