Happy Birthday to those celebrating their birthday in October!

The background is indigo blue, the next layer is light orange with pink & orange balloons tied with ribbons & bows. The birthday cake has a big heart decoration in black with Happy Birthday in orange sitting on top of the cookies. The cake has light orange icing, covering the of top of the cake has a variety of cookies and decorations. Text: Celebrating all October Birthdays! Happy Birthday! “October is associated with a dominantly warm color palette: tiger orange, burgundy—as well as a pop of indigo blue. The orange & burgundy are reminiscent of a season of pumpkin patches, mulled wine & meandering rides along roads lined with vibrant, changing leaves. The blend of blue & violet in Indigo is often associated with deep-thinking, self-reflection, & evoking a sense of calmness & relaxation, ideal for October, a month of big change.”

Our team is in court every day on behalf of people who rely on the government to deliver services that keep them safe.

That’s why we’re suing the Trump-Vance admin for unlawful attempts to fire federal workers.

Last night, the court set a hearing for next week before the RIFs go into effect.

Our CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joined @jaketapper.bsky.social on @cnn.com tonight to discuss our lawsuit against President Trump and Russ Vought following their illegal firings of federal workers during the government shutdown.

Thank you for your posts. Thank you for the amazing people working. The wages and working conditions are unacceptable. How, who, and when can pay be a living wage with benefits plus health insurance & a healthier working environment for all of the people that work in agriculture?

I recently sat down with three leaders who are part of the @obamafoundation.bsky.social's alumni network to hear more about their work to strengthen democracy in Hungary and Poland. They’re an example for us all. Take a look:

ability, lies, & corruption. It is heartbreaking & painful what has happened to people throughout our history. There are terrible & good people. Good people need to work together for equal human civil rights for all.

Katherine Herring @herringk.bsky.social · 2h

There are no easy answers but honesty and truth has to be at the center with accountability. Part of what is happening now is people not held accountable for crimes, they think the are above the law & keep breaking more laws. The long history of brutality, racial crimes, hate crimes, no account

Katherine Herring @herringk.bsky.social · 2h

Past time to stop it. Stop the hate, violence, brutality, racism, lies, division, corruption & profit prisons.

Katherine Herring @herringk.bsky.social · 2h

There is a lot to be done to make our country equal for everyone. Starting by removing the fascists criminals in our government. Electing people w/history for racial equality, human civil rights, that will work for all people, no matter where you live, so everyone has equality & quality of life.

Katherine Herring @herringk.bsky.social · 2h

White criminals have never been held accountable. There has to be laws, for racial killing, accountability, & justice for the victims. Some will disobey the law, like above with Mr. Bunn, but not escape accountability. The same laws nation wide, ban sun down towns, corrupt Judges, corrupt police.

Starting 1/20/25, immunity is not valid after cankles starting destroying the country using P. 2025, w/fascists friends. Petitions, letters, emails, phone calls did not work, Rs will not impeach, next option signed warrant & citizens arrest. I had no takers. Still working on it. Have not given up.

Vought needs to resign or be removed.

Katherine Herring @herringk.bsky.social · 3h

He is disgusting and vile just like the other "men" that think this. I hope they do not have daughters or grand-daughters. Children are to be protected not the criminals.

Thank you. President Biden had given a time limit to close profit prisons. Regime revoked it some in Congress have stock in the profit prisons & Palantir. Miller is demanding a daily quota, he has stock in Palantir. This should all be illegal & changed to where no one profits, changes are needed.

Katherine Herring @herringk.bsky.social · 4h

This needs to be fix and fixed retroactively because Congress has know this for years and ignored it because they want SS to run out of money to privatize it. This would be terrible for the people and good for investors, and without guardrails or help. People first not profiteers.

Thank you! Other universities please follow this lead, everything to gain without oppression, only freedom to learn uncensored, no whitewashing, imaginary alternative facts or extortion. Bullies/tyrants always come back when you give in to their bullying/tyranny.
