Took a “Know Your Rights” training this wknd to help protect our immigrant friends and neighbors. Find one and take it. DHS sent “it’s time to leave” notices to lots of immigrants and also us citizens. HHS tried to take immigrant kids out of LA schools, claiming a “welfare check.” #WeKeepUsSafe

A lot more staff took the Deferred Resignation/Early retirement this time around— it was re-offered the week of 7 April . I’m hearing ~ 11,000 for Army. No numbers yet for Civil Works (Corps of engineers) but I know 6 colleagues in my immediate circle. I am still here.

The Black struggle against racism is central to the story of The United States. His attempt to expunge this story - under the guise of extinguishing “DEI” - represents an attempt to erase Blackness itself. News accounts that parrot his propaganda aid and abet this crime.

For folks out there putting tons of energy into hating the current admin, I encourage you to take a break today and put that energy (or donation if you are able!) into a local org that is providing lifelines for the folks most impacted but this scary stuff. If you need tips, just ask here.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

I’m hearing that the 23,000 Reduction in force goal for the Army *may be more likely to target employees that work on overhead funding and less those who work on project funding. If true, This leaves USACE *district offices somewhat less vulnerable to cuts. This is opinion, however. Not fact.

If Republicans wanted to keep the government open, they would have either put forward a clean CR or included Democrats in the negotiations for the 6 month stop-gap. Instead, they jammed in poison pills and DOGE wish-list items. No one can blame Dems for telling them to eat shit.
