What we’re they dissenting?
Retribution!
Retribution. What about "Free Speech?" Trump must be deposed!
no surprise from this vengeful regime - they had to expect that but it's still wrong and sucks.
On the "incredibly tarnished silver lining" plus side of this, it means those employees probably can't be shunted into doing work for ICE like a lot of FEMA people already have
They were courageous!
cool...cool...it's not like its hurricane season 🤡
📌 Fascist timeline
More petty vulgar attacks by the MAGA morons in Washington
It's so refreshing that we have a man child running the United States of America, this is some kind of twilight episode I've seen it has to be right 👍
Not surprising. This is the party of retaliation after all.
Speaking ill of Dear Leader is strictly verboten.
That is the biggest bullshit firing in the ever. Phil, how in the world. It's obvious that you can't tell these MF's how you feel or else you are out the door faster than a Costco checkout. Jesus 🙄
US taxpayers’ $$ at work under the fascist Trump regime: suspend federal employees ‘guilty’ of MAGA wrong think from a critical but already foundering/stretched-to-the-limits govt agency & *pay* for them to stay at home in the middle of hurricane season. Where’s DOGE when you need it?
And this free speech they are lecturing Europe about...
Richardson did say if they got in his way he would run them over. bsky.app/profile/phil...
Let me clue you INverted geniuses in. if you're working for the federal govt you are working for the President. Period. If you are being insubordinate you are asking to be fired. I'm not sure who is telling you guys it's okay to do this stuff but it isn't. No 1st amend at the workplace.
Of course they were
How dare they tell the emperor he's naked.
By the video of the recent cabinet conference, they're still coming up with new and creative ways to out-fellate each other for Trump's attention, so it's gonna be awhile yet.
It's more akin to a cabinet porn shoot. Zero orders or ideas are communicated at those things.
It's jarringly depressing to witness the levels of groveling they do, because it truly means they and the president aren't doing their jobs and don't know how to. The so-called leader of the free world needs to hear contrary and unpopular opinions from people more qualified than they on specifics.
Of course
#MAGAShitToFix You can read their letter and add your name to support for these folks of conscience. It is easy. www.standupforscience.net/fema-katrina...

Hi 👋🏾 Phil I am kindly requesting your support in sharing my crowdfunding campaign on your platform. By amplifying my voice and artwork to a wider audience, your platform can help me reach my fundraising goals and make a positive impact in the minority community.
A share for visibility would help me survive another night ❤️🩹
They are heroes and I sincerely hope they know it. They have no worries during the reckoning.
Yeah. That's good, the agency that is understaffed is firing people. Lol This is a tragedy waiting to happen.
Probably those woke people who pull people out of floods

“Dear Leader” strikes again.
They stood on principle. That still matters and they are courageous to take action. 🇺🇸 with pay I hope!
☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️ the public signers are the bravest people we know!
Yup. The agency is already fucked. These folks who actually care about public safety need to speak out even if it means they'll get fired. They aren't able to do their jobs as it is when fucking Kristi Noem herself has to find time to sign off on every expense in between TV spots and vanity tours.

Deep state = anyone competent person with a conscious.
It's worth reading. I suspect something similar happened with someone I worked closely with at CMS. I really want to know what happened but prying didn't feel right. They worked in CMS for longer than I've been out of high school and really cared for helping the recipients.
Pushback www.standupforscience.net/katrina-decl...
This is a prohibited personal practice (5 USC 2302 (b)) and goes against the whistle blowers act of 1989.
This happened at EPA too.
They need to sue!
Shocked.😐
First Amendment!!
Freedom of speech is not given to Federal employees or any of us really but continue to speak out
But of course. 💔🤬
There’s always retribution. It’s never-ending.
Whatever!
Retribution. He campaigned on retribution.
One must not disagree with a fascist head of state. I can remember when the United States was a free country with a vigorous Bill of Rights. All that ended with the election of a sick. brain-damaged narcissist whose only passions are inflicting cruelty and lusting for power.
Go to the corner and think about what you did.
(They wanted to run the US like a business--and this is the same type of toxic shit tons of ppl experience in the corporate world)
This exactly.
This administration comes with an auto-sue feature.
A THANKLESS job by the most disposable of Federal employees: seasonal, mitigation, and insurance adjusting in favor of the government
Retaliation. How typical from this administration 🤬
Sad. And super- predictable.
Members of ICE art talking to the press, suffering burnout.
It is shocking how quickly the US fell from its position as a leader in government accountability and whistleblower protections for workers.
It seems like these people should have whistleblower protections.
The beatings will continue until morale improves
Yep...
Dotard is authoritarian and dictator
Once again illegal from this administration, but when there's no one left willing to hold you accountable nothing is illegal
tbh I'm surprised it's not "all"
Anyone surprised 🤔
🤬🤬🤬
We still have FEMA?
Word
Don’t sign, just slow the work, gum up the wheels. We need you in those jobs. That’s a moral choice.
Of course. What else would a dictator do?
So much for that vaunted freedom of speech.
I am surprised it isn’t all of them. They will be deemed “enemies of Dear Leader” and will be lucky if they don’t find DOJ prosecuting them for treason. I am so tired of this destruction of our democracy
‼️
Past time for the 25th Amendment.
@senategop.govpeeps.us @houseofreps.bsky.social ARE YOU Boys and Girls Going to ACT?? THIS IS ANOTHER Reason to INVOKE THE 25th Amendment Against this #RussianAsset
