Excellent advice. And if you can't get through there, fax them (free online, see bsky.app/profile/jacl...). Then write an angry letter! You literally pay them to listen to you, so make your voice heard!!

The number of non-citizens on Social Security is 0. The cost of printing out this stupid Executive Order is greater than the money received by non-citizens on Social Security—which again is $0. He's distracting his MAGA base to steal $800B in Medicaid & give billionaires trillions in tax cuts.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Replacing the military brass and attorneys with three-star generals you pluck from retirement is exactly what a dictator looking to use an army to do some violence does.

Trump Fires Joint Chiefs Chairman
Amid Turmoil at
Pentagon
The decision to fire Gen. Charles Brown Jr. reflects President Trump's insistence that the military's leadership is too mired in diversity issues.

I've often insisted that we need to keep our eyes on Trump's actions more than his words (because so many of the words are bluster & lies). Now we have a genuinely dangerous action: a purge at the Pentagon, notably a purge of the top figures who can decide if Trump's commands are unconstitutional.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.
I lost my job. USDA Forest Service.


My probation was up next week.


I did everything right. I took a GS-7 role with a master’s degree just to get my foot in the door. I spent years doing seasonal fieldwork for low pay, working in remote places, gaining experience, and building skills, just for a chance at a permanent position. I was about to be a GS-9. I wrote NEPA reports. I conducted field surveys. I worked fire support. I dedicated myself to this work because I believed in it.


Public lands don’t manage themselves. The wildlife, watersheds, and forests we protect don’t just stay protected without people on the ground making it happen. My coworkers and I took on that responsibility, often in places most people never think about but that matter more than they know.


And now? Just like that, I’m out.


Edit: I’ve consistently supported progressive policies and have voted Democrat in every national and local election since I was 18. I do appreciate folks asking, I have some coworker having a serious 'leopards ate my face' moment right now.
