"Two government employees tell me that DOGE (or management) is🚨 firing people at various agencies for leaving their PIV cards at their desks — saying it is a security violation. The chatter is rampant enough that directors are warning staff about the possibility, per comms I was passed."
-S Stein

Threatening employees isn't just heinous & hypocritical, it violates the federal workers' rights & further traumatizes the workforce.

“Trump moves closer to a court crisis.”

“I worry that there might be some people in the admin who’d actually like to defy a judicial order. Which I think would be a terrible mistake.
-John Yoo

He’s a #Trump ally who advanced one of the most sweeping theories of presidential power.

“If the courts can’t render reliable decisions, then our legal system doesn’t function. If our legal system doesn’t work, the country is in really bad shape.”

Continued thread

Inside #CISA, vital support staff are gone, international partnerships have been strained, & workers are afraid to discuss #threats to #democracy that they’re now PROHIBITED from countering. Employees are even more overworked than usual, & new assignments from the admin are interfering w/important tasks. Meanwhile, CISA’s temporary leader is doing everything she can to appease #Trump, infuriating employees who say she’s out of touch & refusing to protect them.

If Putin is trying to isolate the US from the world, it's working. I don't think a lot of people are going to want to deal with them unless they have to for a long time given everything that's been going on.

Rolling Stone · Harassment, Stalkers, Death Threats: A Day in the Life of Women on TwitchBy Alyssa Mercante

America is now an adversary.

If we like it or not, the #US has gone from being a, not perfect, but valuable ally, to being an unpredictable, threatening #adversary.
#Threats of #sanctions, #tariffs, election #interference and even #military force had us reassessing our stance towards the US and from my own perspective, I'm seeing more and more people in charge realizing that the US have now become a danger to our democratic stability, independence, progress, and wealth.

I hope, that going forward, Europe will start building US-independent infrastructure, an independent military, and stable policies that prevent foreign interference from (wanna-be) dictators and especially fascists. There is a huge lesson to be learned here for everyone who hadn't before. If we let the rich govern our states or give populists and radical to extremist forces any power, they will try to dismantle a stable state for either their own gain or for a certain ideology they wanna push by force.
Looking over to the US, we must not make the same mistakes and make absolutely sure, that our checks and balances, especially the judicial branch, are safe from (foreign) interference and extremist power grabs.

Now that this is out there,

thanks for listening to my TED talk, have a nice day, take good care of yourself and spread some love to the people around you :)

#Gaza
#Trump #threats
@palestine

We've heard Trump's threats to Palestinians in Gaza.
To Trump's chest thumping, Gaza survivors have replied:

"We will not leave and we will not abandon our land"
"How can they expect us to release them [the hostages] without anything in return?"

Only phase II of the ceasefire can secure the hostage release, in exchange for the Palestinian hostages from the Israeli torture camps.
