  2. Hey Mikey. I've got questions.

    If the House is too non-essential to convene during a shutdown, why exactly are your salaries considered essential enough to keep flowing?

    Which part of being a "co-equal branch of government" suggests you get to clock out when things get difficult?

    Is the plan to resolve this via telepathy, or are you banking on thoughts and prayers doing the legislative work?

    A prior post about how #Trump has strived to strip federal workers (civil servants) of their collective bargaining (unionization) rights since the beginning of his second term earlier this year.

  4. I decided to expand this one out because I ran out of room to finish my argument here on the blog. I wrote about why a recent OPM memo allowing Christian Nationalists to attempt to convert their federal coworkers is a disturbing sign that may point to what the Trump regime's next excuse for a fascist crusade will be - combatting "anti-Christian bias" (by doing more fascism!)

    Nina-Bytes: Dark Omens of a New Crusade

    "There will of course be folks who accuse me of overreacting when I say this new guidance is clearly the on ramp for the official adoption of Christian Nationalism as a state ideology, but I think even a cursory reading of what OPM Director Scott Kupor just released here demonstrates that this has nothing to do with workplace tolerance, or freedom of religion. In addition to allowing religious iconography, and public prayer, Kupor also wants government employees to be able to display “posters” with “religious messages” and solicit participation from even non-Christian employees in group expressions of religious sentiment. So what happens when your evangelical nazi co-worker puts up a poster saying “God hates queers?” How about when your Christian Nationalist supervisor calls “the team” together for a group prayer asking Jesus to protect the chosen one, Donald J. Trump? If you have to ask those questions, you’re clearly not understanding the policy; remember, laws, rights, and rules have no dominion over fascists in power, and only serve to bind or oppress their enemies."

  14. An independent government agency that reviews personnel actions in the #FederalWorkForce has ordered 6 government employees to be temporarily reinstated after the #Trump admin carried out #MassFirings of probationary employees earlier this month. The independent agency, the #Merit Systems Protection Board, ruled that the unspecificed #FederalAgencies involved had violated #DueProcess rights in the #firings.

  15. The EEOC reveals a troubling trend: Older federal employees face a gender pay gap three times larger than younger workers. Women over 40 earn significantly less than men in the federal workforce, despite efforts to close the gap.

    How can we ensure true pay equity in government roles?
