Show me your favorite AmeriCorps NCCC photos 🤍💚

📢 Rumor has it the DOGE Traitor Tots were spotted at AmeriCorps.

First they gutted Peace Corps—now AmeriCorps is in their sights.

Because in Trump’s world, the best way to "cut waste" is to go after VOLUNTEERS strengthening communities at home and abroad 🙃.

my offer to america: we bring woke back

exactly this!

What happened in Wisconsin is an example of what is most feared: That in a true democracy regular people have more power than a billionaire, that all the money in the world doesn’t change one person one vote.

I just moved with my pup, still trying to figure out our living space. this morning I woke up and saw him peacefully airing out his toe beans. bliss.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

oh.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

love love love this. sharing with my 18F (and OG USDS!) friends. how do they reach out to you?

So glad to see you on here. I gave up X, and I didn't know where to go for live coverage. I can see all of the police cars around Safeway from my apartment window.

a lot of money for a small staff that doesn't have offices & wrecks rather than builds

fully loaded with fringe benefits, you could pay about 200 GS-15 (top of the regular federal scale) civic technologists at USDS or TTS *for a year* for that money

what's a better use of your tax dollars? 🤔

To our federal government employee/contractor community: We understand more than most that accidents and emergencies have a way of happening at the worst possible time.

As always, if you think your pet is having a medical emergency, take him or her to the nearest emergency facility. If you are unsure whether or not your pet needs to be seen, please give us a call at 202-363-7300. We are available 24-hours a day to help assist you in your decision.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

this is ridiculous. I actually got mine from SeatGeek too bc that was the only option for presale DC tickets, but I didn't get that message. they must have a diff agreement w/ Northwest stadium.

what's very sad is I'm realizing we all paid way more for our tickets yesterday than people paid today

that's soooo frustrating!!!! can you sell them back if you end up getting tix somewhere else?

yesss. what section? I'm in 241

did you find out?! that's stressful AF

yes! but maybe yes, also.

But that did not work for Kamala, NIKE

🤣🤣🤣

I personally love that there's a Marko out there who plays polo 🤗

Yesterday’s live is now on YouTube: m.youtube.com/watch?featur...

most informative, insightful, and uplifting hour of my year so far.
thank you so much for this.

notes from AOC's 2/3 live: take a breath. "what am I going to dedicate myself to?" get locked in. the slower they go, the less they can break. do not comply in advance. make them make You. if they're committing crimes, Make them! make them make you. we are going to win. we are going to go through an ugly, ugly period. But move in the faith that we are going to win. we don't know what's going to happen between now and then, but winning and prevailing is a decision. think wizard of oz: this is an illusion of power. we need to be little grains of sand in the large gears of this machine... no action is too small. because there are millions of us, when millions of people do tiny things, we can disrupt this machine. when you are saying "we can't change this," you are consenting in advance. do not consent in advance. when we are relentless, they will fatigue. in this house, we jiggle every door handle to find an opportunity. (check out Hakeem Jeffries' list that came out today.) Find out who does what. DON'T CONSENT IN ADVANCE on elon: "this is what happens when you don't go to therapy." Do Not give them your fear. do not give them your fear, do not give them your panic, do not give them your anxiety. currently 20 lawsuits against trump EOs. keep an eye on these lawsuits. Judiciary, appropriations, budget. Get familiar with who's on the committee in Congress. They don't want you to try, because if you try sometimes you might win. they are little and weak. "Do what you can, and know what you do is enough." (note: every committee is led by the party lead. so all committees are currently Republican-led)

rough notes for the non-meta folks

oh, and Congress returns today from election recess/home district activities. that's a big one for non-DC residents.

most informative, insightful, and uplifting hour of my year so far.
thank you so much for this.

The Girls Won the Grammys Doechii becoming the third woman ever to win Best Rap Album? Beyoncé finally winning Album of the Year? Chappell Roan calling out record labels and speaking about health insurance at length? Lady Gaga...

Doechii becoming the third woman ever to win Best Rap Album? Beyoncé finally winning Album of the Year? Chappell Roan calling out record labels and speaking about health insurance at length? Lady Gaga kinda doing blasphemy again? I prayed for times like this.
