Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Blue Lake was outstanding this morning! The root-y trail sucked for my ankle, though. #hiked

The sun rises over a rock massif. The lake is surrounded by yellow larch trees.

Two signs pointing the way to Liberty Bell Climbers Route and Blue Lake are nailed to a tree in front of larch trees.

Green and yellow trees climb up a mountain under a blue sky.

Fall colors pop in the mountains under a blue sky.

The blue-green waters of Diablo Lake sparkle under a blue sky.

If one person starts yelling, it’s easy from there. Don’t be afraid to be the first person to start yelling at a Nazi

A guy ran into a classroom at the University of Washington threw up Nazi salutes, yelled a bunch of slurs, then roughly 30 students chased him down, got him arrested.

I do love that the PDX deployment of the National Guard is lining up with the shut down (no pay) AND the first real rain of the season. Nothing to break the spirit like a working for no $ in the rain, doing a trivial job of guarding a building from peaceful protesters mocking you, often in costume.

Lucy @lpick10.bsky.social · 9d

So happy for you, Mychal! This is going to be so great! 💕

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

While Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are puffing themselves up in front of the U.S. military leaders at Quantico, I would like to remind everyone of an important historical detail: “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.
