Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 1hNow presenting the third video in our series, “Federally Yours: True Stories from Our Civil Servants.” And this week, we’re asking: who really are federal workers? We emphasize that while federal workers exist strictly to serve the people of this nation, we’re really just regular people like you. 141
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026In today's episode of "What even is corruption?," the administration is using yet another illegal maneuver to attack the very basic fabric of education in the US. A nation that doesn't value educating its children is a nation that doesn't value progression, innovation, or achievement. 150
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Most federal employees enter public service with just one goal in mind: to serve. 2125
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Vought and Trump won't stop until everything is under their control, including scientific research. Last week, Trump instructed Vought to draft an executive order to form a new panel to review NIH grants. Yes, the grants that fund scientific and medical research that affect every American. 265
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 17/09/2026It's often been said that democracy dies in darkness. In service of shining a bright and blinding light on a currently withering democracy, FWAD is honored and excited to humbly present the first video in our newest mini-series: "Federally Yours: True Stories from Our Civil Servants." 1105

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 09/09/2026The Smithsonian Institution is more than a set of museums. It conducts research and educates the world on science, art, culture, and our very history. Lonnie Bunch’s departure is another step towards Trump rewriting of our American story. Here’s what we know: 🧵 1176

But he wants to make it harder for others because it's the only way Republicans can win.

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 03/09/2026ICE is on the move to steal your voter data. Last week, the agency published an RFI, looking for a company “to support Homeland Security Investigations fraud detection and data segmentation activities.” 151
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 02/09/2026If it weren't for the bravery of this federal worker at USPS, we would silenty lose a chance at a fair election before the first vote is even cast. This is it. This is the moment. This is the four-alarm fire. 2102
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 26/08/2026This administration is pulling every trick they have to gain control over elections, but don’t be fooled: elections are still controlled by the states & local councils. Though the situation is evolving quickly and likely to change, know that NOTHING ABOUT THE VOTING PROCESS HAS CHANGED YET. 143
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Only the most heartless and inhumane ghoul would send a person to potentially sacrifice their life in service to an adminstration that deports their immediate family members. 191
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and removing Inspector General oversight allows absolute power to corrupt much faster. This was always the administration's plan: remove all barriers and legal oversight, and let political cronyism run wild. 171

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 18/08/2026It seems that with every passing day, our rights and civil liberties are being eroded more and more. The right to peaceful protest is enshrined in the First Amendment of our Constitution, which each ICE Agent swore to defend. 186
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 14/08/2026There are no words appropriate to express our collective shock and dismay at how our federal colleagues on the USS Abraham Lincoln are being mistreated, ignored, left to starve and then gaslit by Pete Hegseth. 1174
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 12/08/2026To our federal colleagues at ICE: When you were sworn into your Oath of Office, you promised to defend the Constitution; and the 4th amendment states that all Americans have an inviolable right to "be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures" 181

That one day, the Department of Interior will be returned to its former glory... headed by competent leadership that inspires confidence amongst the federal workforce, and not suspicion... and experts who spread knowledge, not toxicity. 1112
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 07/08/2026*sigh* Who doesn't love the pomp & circumstance of a totally toothless executive order that has already been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court? 3106
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Our food supply is dwindling & contaminated. Energy costs are soaring from the environmental plague known as "data centers." Healthcare costs rise. Affordable housing nearly non-existent. Once eradicated & preventable illnesses surge, and we are fighting an egregiously expensive, un-winnable war. 143

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 03/08/2026So it seems that Zeldin doesn't view the proliferation of dangerous toxins in our water supply and the food we grow as an immediate emergency.

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 29/07/2026UP NEXT: Maybe the return of scurvy? Polio? Science matters. Health research matters. Environmental safety matters. And food safety is paramount. If RFK was supposed to make America healthy again, he's doing about as great a job as Elon did rooting out "waste, fraud and abuse." 0110
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 28/07/2026A bright spot in this week's news as the MSPB rules that the 5,000+ probationary HHS employees fired in 2025 were illegally terminated. May we continue to see wins for illegally RIFd federal employees. The wheels of justice tend to turn slowly, but they do turn eventually. 1113
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 27/07/2026The administration continues its campaign of cutting grants based solely on the political leanings of a state's populace and a random agency admin's feelings. Corruption is undeniable when taxpayer-funded projects in health, research & environment are parsed out by what primary color they represent. 230
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Tens of millions of dollars in grant funds used for health research, health and environmental preservation, medical and scientific development, and human projects--defunded and completely halted with one keystroke, courtesy of a lazy and ill-informed keyword search. 151

We are done with throwing away our tax dollars. 052
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Well, so much for this administration's promise of "radical transparency" in the Department of Defense. Thanks to Sen. Mark Warren (VA) for taking up the mantle to call out the hard truth: the war against Iran has been a complete failure… 🧵 261
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Given all of the assaults on the American people's constitutional rights during the last 18 months, is it really surprising that this administration is going full steam ahead on reinvigorating McCarthyism?? But we are not and WILL NOT be deterred. 082
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 17/07/2026When Trump starts his election year routine of spouting lies about the 2020 election, we know he must be getting nervous. Don't believe his lies and don't allow him to trample all over our democracy. We must keep the pressure on, and election interference out! 092
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 13/07/2026After stripping civil service protections for at least 8,000 federal workers, this administration still thirsts for more workers to make suffer. When is enough going to be enough for them...AND US? 094
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Midterm elections are rapidly approaching, and the Trump administration is rapidly spinning up mechanisms to subvert, delay, or otherwise impede them.

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Another week, another opportunity for Russell Vought and the Trump Administration to continue their ongoing assault on science and the federal workforce. But real-world evidence and scientific research doesn't bend to the whims of politicians or selfish agendas. 142
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 07/07/2026DISSENT IS NOT A FIREABLE OFFENSE. Fed workers shouldn’t be punished for exercising free speech, and warning the American public about potential harm to public health and the environment shouldn't end their careers. Unlawful retaliation won't ever stop us from standing behind people who speak up. 0166

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 30/06/2026There is a word for when power collapses inward onto one person: AUTHORITARIANISM. And it arrives ruling by ruling, until it feels like it's too late. This decision won’t stop us from resisting authoritarianism, and it shouldn’t stop you either. 1113
Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Trump is effectively taking another sledgehammer to Ed Dept. by removing civil rights enforcement & special education program authority. While this comes as no surprise, that does not make it any less dangerous or devastating for students, parents, & communities across the country. Full statement⬇️ 093

Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy @workers4democracy.bsky.social · 10/06/2026There's a point when authoritarianism stops disguising itself.
