Friendly Reminder That...

Politicians are not doctors. Politicians are not scientists. Politicians are not teachers. Politicians are politicians. Politicians do not belong in healthcare. Politicians do not belong in science. Politicians do not belong in teaching. Politicians belong in politics.

A judge has temporarily blocked President Trump’s order to end birthright citizenship.

Judge Coughenour, a Reagan appointee, said:

“I've been on the bench for over four decades. I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order.”

You know who has unmitigated access to my (and all of federal employee’s) sensitive information?

Here’s a hint: it’s not tiktok!

It’s Musk. It’s Musk and his goons that have taken over the Office of Personnel Management. I’m not kidding they have physically taken over the physical office and the database that stores federal employees’ information like pay scale, social security number, home addresses, etc. and it’s now left unprotected.

This should concern everyone because the federal government is the largest employer in the country and I can guarantee that you, the like 5 people who may read this post, or someone you know is or has been a federal employee. And now that information is in the hands of Elon Musk and we don’t know what he is going to do with that information. No, seriously, officials who once oversaw the database and protected that data have said that “there’s no visibility into what they’re doing with the computer or the data,” and “there’s no oversight.” Because Musk and his private employees have physically moved and locked people out of their offices and have changed it so that the people who previously oversaw and had access can only get to their emails.

Right now we know that right now Musk and “OPM” is using the data to send poorly worded emails to all federal employees that are meant to coerce and scare people into taking a shitty deal and resigning. But then what? This is the tip of the iceberg. They have so much data and information for millions of people that the possibilities are endless.

So check in on your friends and neighbors who are federal employees. We’re scared and uncertain about so many aspects of our jobs and our lives. We have been hit with wave after wave of insulting emails telling us that we’re not good at our jobs and that actually our jobs are worthless. We’re facing so many rumors about who has our personal information and what’s being done with it. We are just so tired. And it’s week two. That’s the point - to exhaust us into submission. To my fellow federal workers, hold the line. We’re stronger together and we will get through this.

Trump is pushing out career civil servants who do enthusiastically support his agenda. THIS is the most consequential thing

Dear usamericans, can I interest you in an online copy of Civil Disobedience and The Theory of the Leisure Class ? As someone from a country where protesting is second-nature, I feel inclined to share these essays. They may be old, but they hold up surprisingly well in today's capitalistic hellscape. So read up! Knowledge is power.

Trump tried to fire these guys overnight workout following the law to do so. They responded with 🖕

The federal grants freeze today was an attempt to break the US Constitution. It aimed to defund programs passed by LAW because they don’t align with maga “ideology.” He’s already got the Supreme Court in his pocket and now Congress is letting him wrestle lawmaking power from them…

This is a really really loud and obnoxious canary in the coal mine yall. Listen to it!!!

It’s my hope that Tumblr is still a safe space from political interference when it comes to allowing the users to interact without fear that bots we interact with are sharing misinformation.

So, brief civics lesson, guys.

The power of the purse is Congress’s power to choose how the government spends its money. The president is supposed to spend money in accordance with Congress’s directives. The president does not have the right to refuse to spend money on the things Congress says he will.

This is one of the most basic, important powers of Congress, explicitly spelled out in the U.S. Constitution as a power reserved for Congress and Congress alone. It’s one of the main checks on the executive branch.

Trump’s freeze on federal grants is explicitly unconstitutional and illegal, and is an unabashed attempt to seize the power of the purse for himself, which would grant the US president an unparalleled amount of power over the U.S. government.

Just an FYI. The FDA is not allowed to announce any food recalls due to the health communications pause the current administration enacted. You can still find this information by visiting USDA the site directly.

https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls

Here’s the fda link to use to search for recalls, safety alerts, and market withdrawals.

https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts

So, while you are making your grocery list, you may want to visit the recalls list since there’s no public communication right now.

Native Americans are being targeted by ICE agents.

Native. Americans. Y’know, the people who were here before all the white people.

Elon Musk's teenage hackers have inserted bots into the backend of the federal system so they can spy on government workers and sniff out any disloyalty to Felon47.

This is not only highly illegal but qualifies as an act of espionage and sedition.

Remember when First Felon accused Obama of spying on him through a microwave oven? Always a projection.

Target has helped so many save money since they want to kiss the ass of Trump. Costco is better anyway.

Here’s a real boycott list

P.s: obviously everyone can’t boycott everything but one also didn’t need that Tito’s Vodka or Wendy’s 😉
