It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

KNOW YOUR
RIGHTS
IN CASE OF ICE:
CONOCE TUS DERECHOS
EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR.
ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge.
Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door.
NO ABRAS TU PUERTA.
ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM
TO LEAVE.
If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission.
2
PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN.
Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT.
You have the right to remain silent.
If the agents ask you questions, tell them,
"I wish to remain silent."
PERMANECE EN SILENCIO.
Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio.
Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles:
"Deseo permanecer en silencio".

#PROTECTOURPARKS #nationalparks #NPS #congress @sanders.senate.gov @altnps.bsky.social #DOI In an update to the freeze, LE rangers appear safe but all others cut. That means parks will be partially closed and many people will lose their career. SHARE A MEMORY OF A PARK VISIT AND CALL YOUR SENATORS!

#WeAreDemocracy IDK this HR23 bill seems rather nefarious to me. Protecting Netanyahu from war crimes? If I didn't know any better, 45 wants protection too. ACLU urges a NO vote. 👇Read it for yourself and tell me what you see.👇 ☎️ Passed in House. Call your US Senators, it takes five minutes.

This week my employer of 17 years English Heritage announced 200 jobs lost, and my Alma mater Cardiff Uni announced 400 jobs lost. The planning system that protects our heritage and provides thousands of archaeology jobs is at risk, and Higher Education is in free fall more generally #ThisIsFine

Trump's nominee to lead OMB, Russ Vought, submitted this response to the Senate Budget Committee when asked by Sen. Whitehouse about who won the 2020 election. The Senate Budget Committee is currently scheduled to vote on whether to advance Vought's nomination on Thursday.

After the intense outcry from the American people, Trump has admitted his freeze on federal funding was a colossal mistake by rescinding the guidance—but the threat, chaos, & panic can't just be wiped away. There's still a lot of work to do to ensure funds get where they belong.

Our government and institutions are in desperate need of more transparency and accountability, not less. Trump’s illegal firing of more than a dozen Inspectors General will allow government corruption and abuse to go uninhibited. Congress must act to ensure power is held accountable.

I once took a buyout of my federal job it was a force reduction, I took it to save a job of someone with less seniority. That was at a time when I could trust the government to follow through. I believe now that I would not trust trump. Bait and switch. Firing the head of the NLRB is a big clue.

There’s no buyout. It’s a deceptive email that attempts to trick people into thinking they’re getting a severance package but in reality it just allows the employee to work from home for 8 months while collecting a paycheck. Trump thinks the federal workforce is as stupid as the general public.

If they reduce your duties and consolidate or move your job you are likely eligible for RIF benefits that greatly exceed what they are offering. If they move your job with you encumbering it, you may receive reduced locality rate affecting your current pay and high-3 for retirement.

I have read the email from OPM. It is not what has been reported. IT IS NOT A BUY OUT. It is an exemption from the partially unenforceable return to the office EO until end of the Fiscal Year. You may have to work every single workday until the end of the FY. No guarantees. All discretionary.

I am certain of my decision to resign and my choice to resign is fully voluntary. I understand my employing agency will likely make adjustments in response to my resignation including moving, eliminating, consolidating, reassigning my position and tasks, reducing my official duties, and/or placing me on paid administrative leave until my resignation date.

Yeah, this isn't a genuine 'buyout,' it's probably just a way to identify workers who want to take the offer (to continue working remotely until September 30 and then resign), fire them soon after the February 6 deadline, then roll the dice with GOP-stacked federal courts.

Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from employment with my employing agency, effective September 30, 2025. I understand that I have the right to accelerate, but not extend, my resignation date if I wish to take advantage of the deferred resignation program. I also understand that if I am (or become) eligible for early or normal retirement before my resignation date, that I retain the right to elect early or normal retirement (once eligible) at any point prior to my resignation date.
Given my impending resignation, I understand I will be exempt from any “Return to Office” requirements pursuant to recent directives and that I will maintain my current compensation and retain all existing benefits (including but not limited to retirement accruals) until my final resignation date.
I am certain of my decision to resign and my choice to resign is fully voluntary. I understand my employing agency will likely make adjustments in response to my resignation including moving, eliminating, consolidating, reassigning my position and tasks, reducing my official duties, and/or placing me on paid administrative leave until my resignation date.

A follow-up memo said employees who accept the resignation offer would "promptly" have their duties reassigned or eliminated, and be placed on administrative leave.

Reading this email, it's not a severance as NBC said. "I understand my agency will likely make adjustments in response to my resignation including moving, eliminating, consolidating, reassigning my position & tasks, reducing my official duties, and/or placing me on paid leave until my resignation."

Yeah so if you take the "deferred resignation" offer, you still work for the agency and they can still assign you work. So definitely not a severance. Check this out: chcoc.gov/sites/defaul...
