If you can, please attend the Zoom hearing on the Fish Lake Tui Chub Feb 19:

The Fish Lake Tui Chub, used to live in a half dozen springs in Fish Lake Valley in southwestern Nevada; they are now found in just one spring system that is threatened by groundwater pumping (for alfalfa).
I was reminded of this post today. It is a summary of responses I received last year… most still hold true.
Monday morning pep talk for Senior Leaders and Supervisors (based on responses from Saturday):

1. Employees need you to be visible and be real. Show your emotion. Be present even when you don’t know the answer.

2. Acknowledge the chaos and trauma of shifting guidance. Stop sugar-coating.

How many times have you watched “Becoming” on Netflix?

This oddly provides me a great deal of hope.
Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

There is no justification for rape.

Those who commit rape must be held accountable.

Those who rape children are ducking evil.

Those who knowingly associate with people who rape (children) also need to be held accountable.

Apologizing after you are caught is meaningless.

REQUEST FOR HELP-contact your representatives.

The construction of a border wall through a National Wildlife Refuge is not compatible. These protections need to be affirmed.

The DHS funding bill— with all its horrors— also allows for border wall construction across Santa Ana NWR (Texas).
@altfws.altgov.info

Can anyone here help?

There is a threat to the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge due to renewed efforts to construct the border wall through critical areas of the refuge. This process was abandoned previously due to environmental concerns, but is back on the table.

As the midterms approach, we must:

1) fight for fair elections
2) ensure people on all sides have access to voting
3) vote out those more interested in partisanship than our people and Country
4) vote out those who are ineffective

Most importantly-
5) fight fascism and tyranny Every. Single. Day.

I protested today. I didn’t spend any money today.

How did you do?

Please read this whole thread 👇👇👇
It's worth noting that ICE and CBP shot more of those vulnerable neighbors *in-between* Good and Pretti. And yet...

You know what nevermind.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

DHS Haiku—

Bye bye Bovino
Your Nazi cosplay is done
You will not be missed

Time to impeach Noem
She is vile. She lies. Evil.
No integrity.

These changes needed,
Keith, Renee, Alex still gone
So more must be done

ICE has lost control
Revamping is not enough
Please, abolish ICE

I am struggling to talk about all the crazy stuff going on within the Service.

Not enough staff (no hiring), oil & gas priorities inconsistent with our mission, fisheries and refuges having to justify their existence, the loss of many experienced employees, Fire moving to DOI.

It’s a lot.

Show support for Minneapolis and to support those impacted:

Get some purple candles and burn them in the evenings!

Hello BlueSky.

This space is sacred; we share information and support each other.

We must act beyond this space or it risks becoming an echo chamber. I want to collect and share actions you take that may inspire others. We need momentum.

Please share, maintaining your privacy as much as needed.

#ImpeachNoem

She kills puppies.
She lies about, well, everything.
She spends federal funds recklessly.

She needs to be impeached NOW. There is no excuse to wait.

It’s actually useful that they’re lying so brazenly about Alex Pretti’s killing because it shows how badly they were also lying about Renee Good, as most of us already knew.

I must confess, I am shaken to my core today.

I am angry. I am scared. I am in disbelief.

But mostly, I feel completely off-balance. I will continue the fight. I will continue to cheer on others who fight.

We must #Resist. Please.

We’ve placed the available videos of the shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis today into the same synchronised timeline and are continuing to analyse further.

This is not normal and it’s not okay.

It’s a cold day, but it’s also time to show up everywhere and show this is wrong.

Get rid of the poorly trained secret police force.

I saw some of DJTs White House briefing today…. Whoa.

In today’s name that tune, how would you describe that press briefing?

Which part did you find craziest?

As federal employees we take all this ethics training on what we can/can’t do. It’s good to learn and try and do right.

But…Why does it matter when the Prez and Cabinet violate all these rules? Do ours mean anything?

What the actual duck?

Greenland.
Epstein.
4th Amendment (search and seizure).
10th Amendment (policing).
Ballroom.
Pardons.
Fishing boats.
Emoluments clause.

What else do we need to invoke the 25th Amendment?

Ducking cowards aren’t doing their job.

Remove the declining narcissistic pedophile now.
