🧵Hi! I'm AltStateGov and yes I am a current state worker.

Why am I here? Because at my level of work, I interact regularly with amazing federal workers who care deeply about what they do just as I do. We work together to ensure federal rules are applied and followed at the state and local level.

Agreed. The question is how much and how permanent. I have seen such immense damage and waste just within my own small circles. It boggles my mind to think about the full scale and it isn’t over yet.

NEW: Even as a judge in Illinois blocked President Trump’s deployment of the Guard in Chicago, an appeals court seemed poised to greenlight his deployment in Portland.

More on the courts’ struggle with Trump’s deployments.

The government is shut down, so government workers, contractors, and beneficiaries aren't being paid. Yet the Treasury Department is using $20 billion in unappropriated funds to aid the right-wing government of Argentina in their upcoming elections.

An undemocratic abuse of financial statecraft.

The Trump administration confirmed that the U.S. bailed out Argentina.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had directly bought Argentine pesos in global currency markets in a bid to relieve pressure on the nation’s embattled President Javier Milei, a supporter of President Trump.

The US Treasury has finalized a $20 billion financial rescue of Argentina, including a currency swap arrangement with the country's central bank.

In or about 2017, Jack Posobiec told his followers that he “worked closely” w/ the Oath Keepers. (h/t @michaelehayden.bsky.social) More recently, he’s glorified Francisco Franco, Spain’s deceased murderous dictator. Naturally, Trump included him in his recent anti-“antifa” roundtable. Sound on. 1/

Republicans shut down the government and are refusing to negotiate. They’re even holding committee hearings on everything BUT their shutdown.
 
This week, I used my time in those hearings to remind them what’s really at stake.

Mark Bray, a professor teaching at Rutgers University, was stopped from flying out of the US mere hours after the sham antifa roundtable at the white house.

Turning Point USA activists have labeled him a financier for antifa. Bray and his family received death threats as well.

"There has since been another petition to disband the Turning Point USA chapter at Rutgers, which has since gotten more signatures than the petition to get Bray fired."

Mind you, the TP USA chapter at Rutgers has added professors to lists that they deem as problems.

Get his name out into the public and make it a household name. Fascism thrives in the darkness. I will not sit idly by while professors are targeted and silenced simply because of the history they teach.

Very telling that they aim to silence a professor specializing in anti fascism.
