This is what we are hearing from lots of federal employees right now: white-hot anger at Senate Democrats. From ppl across the country too.

You are risking the ends of your political careers. Will you act?

As a federal employee I can't even begin to describe the feeling of abandonment I feel from the Democratic Party right now. I'll walk through fire to help their primary challengers defeat them.

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities.
That means:
🚫 No gas from corporate giants
🚫 No fast food chains
🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Garrett Graff is a former editor of Politico. Take note, scientists 🧪, he is deeply informed about politics.

American institutions—from the media to Congress—continue to underreact to the unraveling of our democracy. Overseas our media would not hesitate to call what we’re living through a full-blown autocratic coup. Here's my attempt at the story they should write: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...
Musk, Trump Establish New Era of Kleptocracy in America
A third dispatch comparing how the US media would cover this moment if it was happening overseas

We as a country will save nothing. Federal employee salaries make up just 4% of the budget—roughly $271 billion. So even if every federal worker were fired, that’s the maximum you’d save. Meanwhile, the U.S. House GOP has released a budget that raises the debt limit by $4 trillion.

A lot is happening in US science.
Bluesky is the best place to stay up the rolling political crisis in America that is crushing US science. It's also a good place to learn what we all can do.
We have a starter pack for this. Please send your colleagues here too. 🧪

The flood of spam comments and fake responses to DOGE's hiring site is one of many similar campaigns aiming to overwhelm hotlines and emails wagingnonviolence.org/2025/02/doge...
DOGE is hiring. The response did not disappoint.
DOGE’s hiring site has become a focal point for outrage, underscoring the important role humor and rebellious defiance play in bleak times.

What can we do?
Scientists are on our own. University leaders at big schools are not going to help us.
Do what you can to connect with your colleagues. Plan local actions. If you can speak out to the media about what's happening to science, you're critical right now, please do speak out.

Summary:
Trump has muzzled US universities by threatening their endowments and non-profit status. It has worked well.
University presidents and provosts are afraid to speak out. They won't help us. Scientists are even being told by their universities not to comment on Trump's power grab.

A fork in the road
From a fascist toad
Made us take wing to fly
In search of blue sky
We pushed our way through
Because we saw you
The ones who are getting us by
Goodnight friends. Get some rest.
