1/2 A reminder to anyone who was RIFed.

💯 you do NOT deserve this.

Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice:
❌ Do not send a read receipt
❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response
✅ Forward notice to your personal email

The Portland Frogs are also really smart. It denies Fox Propaganda & other right wing outlets the video they want.
I mean, they took a couple of nutters the other day & all they got was Kristi Noem surveying a handful of people & someone in a chicken suit with Yakity Sax playing in the background.

650 people in Brewer, Maine — ready to set off a political earthquake.

As Maine goes, so goes the nation. And that’s exactly why the politicians in Washington, D.C. are so scared.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

Q: Rescission are something Dems have said is a reason for a lack of trust. What rescissions are you discussing?

JOHNSON: We have more than $37t in debt. We're doing everything we can to get us back to sound fiscal responsibility. What does that include? A rescission package is part of our process

So not only am I to believe that ANTIFA is a thing, but now we're being told the government has arrested the founder's girlfriend? Didn't they just say at the White House ANTIFA roundtable that it dated back to the Weimar Republic? 🤔

Get your story straight!!

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..
