So here we go. The big #GivingTuesday pitch. God help me, I'm gonna get this done so I can finally focus on actual substantive work.

There are so many deserving causes out there that deserve your help. If you only have a little to give, give it to one of them.

Cover of the classic children's book Frog And Toad Are Friends.

Drawing of Toad, a brown toad, sitting on a bench, dressed in a green jacket and slacks. He is reading a book to his friend Frog, a green frog dressed in a brown jacket and slacks. They are surrounded by green plants and mushrooms. There is a silver Caldecott Medal in the corner.

Text has been altered from original. It reads
Fiftieth Anniversary
Frog and Toad Are Antifa

Yes to all of the above. Lump them all into the basket of "the agency burying you for going outside the family even if you didn't disclose any classified information because they can."

TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: if you were illegally fired today and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, our whistleblower tip line is open.

We want to hear from you. All whistleblowers are federally protected.

Report Potential Wrongdoing Under the Trump Administration

Whistleblowers play a vital role in helping Congress conduct our constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities. If you have knowledge of corporate or government corruption and abuses of power; insights into the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates; or information regarding potential wrongdoing or waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars, your disclosure can make a difference.

A very valid point. I would suggest that IMO this wouldn't really move the needle more towards islamophobia than it already is moving, perhaps making it worth driving a wedge deeper into the crack forming between the far right and Trump. But I'm also not an expert and not affected by it.
