If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

Trump FROZE all hiring for FAA Flight Tower Controls, making our airports less safe. THIS is what happens when you put PROFITS OVER PEOPLE. No head of FAA either because Musk said it was too expensive. This isn't Twitter, this is our lives!

Trump should be charged with 64 counts of manslaughter.

A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

I’ve never seen a white supremacist that actually took care of themselves. People don’t run away from you because you’re scary they run away from you because you don’t wash your ass you fat tubs of lard 🫶

It should concern EVERY American that Republicans are trying to block the Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz. If it wasn’t damning, they wouldn’t be working this hard to conceal it.

BREAKING: Rep. Susan Wild, a top Democrat on the Ethics Committee, just told a group of reporters that the Matt Gaetz report SHOULD be released. This is huge. The pressure is mounting and Republicans can’t ignore it.

Sex offenders in our White House appointing sex offenders as Attorney General should NEVER be normalized.

Never stop calling this out.

Getting called stupid by my conservative colleagues who voted for trump so they could finally be homeowners- and being the only one to own their home will never not be funny.
