a quick analysis of the consumer sentiment data and it should be noted political affiliation is highly correlated with the results. blue background=dem pres, red=rep pres. interestingly the independents split the difference. Know that the sample size of the recent web survey is less than 1000.

Another shoutout to @govacctproj.bsky.social, which is representing VOA journalists under attack by the now Trump-controlled agency for their work. #censorship

Government employees and contractors, go to GAP's website to know more about your whistleblower rights.

Know your protest rights.

If you’re protesting this weekend, know your rights.
Black graphic with text “You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status.”
