Quick housekeeping post:
You may see some new Altgov type accounts joining up here on BlueSky.
We are actively working them through our vetting process.
Until they are added to the starter pack, exercise caution.
Thanks!

"We took the freedom of speech away..." needs to be blasted across the nation.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Hey, Christians!! This is what it looks like to be oppressed for your beliefs!! Rev. David Black, hit in the face with pepper balls while praying. Where’s your righteous anger for his suffering???

Psalms 105:15 “Saying touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.”

Don’t worry, I’ll wait.

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

Don’t quote me on the numbers but it looks DFAS (Defense Finance Accounting Service) fucked up the pay and leave of somewhere around ~180K Air Force employees. If you are an “exempt” employee, you probably didn’t get paid for Oct 1-3, nor did you accrue any leave for the entire pay period.

Donald Trump's trail of unpaid bills

Donald Trump often portrays himself as a savior of the working class. But a USA TODAY NETWORK analysis found he has been involved in more than 3,500 lawsuits over the past three decades — and a large ...

Just held a Telephone Townhall with 11,313 constituents on Trump’s reckless shutdown.

Republicans don’t care if working people lose their healthcare—they let ACA subsidies expire and shut down the government to play politics.

Families shouldn’t pay the price for their chaos.

The health care tax credit is a big deal. Without it:

4 million people lose their health insurance

Premiums double for more than 20 million Americans

One example: An older couple making $85K could see their premiums skyrocket to $25K per year—almost 30% of their income.

Many people noticed plainlanguage.gov was migrated to digital.gov/topics/plain..., where it has been *consolidated*.

Our friends at @alt18f.bsky.social posted a version of the original content at plainlanguage.18f.org

Unlike other sites that have disappeared, this one just changed.

Plain language makes it easier for the public to read, understand, and use government communications.

I just scrolled altLOC's feed. Over the last 28 days, there was one post with food, not that there's any limit or topic restriction. (I didn't comb replies.)
We all bring unique elements to the overall mission. Sometimes, it's that we're just people too.

Notice her non-answer.

This is explosive. Should be explosive. The US AG who said she had the Epstein files on her desk cannot say whether or not the FBI has pix of Trump with half-naked women, which one witness who knew Epstein has said he has seen.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

I love a good explainer. Here's one about the US Insurrection Act.

The Insurrection Act Explained

The law, which lets the president deploy the military domestically and use it for civilian law enforcement, is dangerously vague and in urgent need of reform.

On 6 Oct 2025 a soldier who I proudly called friend punched his own ticket.
It happens far too frequently.
If you find yourself in those dark places, please reach out for help. Don't make a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Until Valhalla, my friend. Rest easy. We've got the watch.

What do you want to know about what it means for HUD to be shutdown? Ask me here and I will do my best to answer.

Let me start by explaining that most of the Agency is furloughed with very limited staff deemed essential. HUD oversees nearly 80B$ in Federal Financial Assistance on a given day.
