it is not a buyout and it is incredibly frustrating the media has spun it as such. it is a scare tactic to get us to "resign" so he can obliterate the federal workforce bc he cannot just fire 75% of us like they want. they want to make the government appear inefficient so they can argue that it always was and then privatize everything for their own profit. they do not care about the average citizen. they do not know what it means to be a public servant and they have villainized us for simply doing our jobs for the taxpayers. they only care about deepening their pockets.
this last week and a half has been exhausting and terrifying. federal workers just want to do our job and help the people despite the constant villainization and utter hatred we receive from the general public.
I do not plan to give in and give them what they want, but I am miserable and utterly exhausted. while my closest friends try to show support, without working in government it is so hard to fully understand, especially going off of headlines.
the every day federal worker is not your enemy. most of us became public servants bc we love the work that we do. and we just want to do our jobs.
Tonight House Republicans voted 217 to 215 for a budget that'll take $1 TRILLION dollars from Medicaid, attack food benefits for kids, hurt seniors and vets.
but I don't want to talk about that, I want to talk about these two Democratic members of Congress you've never ever heard of.
Democrats, Congressman Kevin Mullin of California and Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen of Colorado.
Congressman Mullin had knee surgery that didn't go well, two surgeries, a life threatening blood clot and a week long stay in the hospital, and the moment he was discharged from the hospital he got on a five hour flight to DC to vote against the Republicans evil budget, using a walker to get to the floor of the House
Congresswoman Pettersen gave birth to her son Sam, in the picture, exactly one month ago on January 25th. They flew from Colorado to DC after Republicans refused to allow her to vote by proxy after having a baby. Congresswoman Pettersen took Sam onto the floor of the House to vote to protect the Health care of 400,000 Colorado kids.
why talk about this? because so much of the conversion is about telling people there's no one good, no one worthy, no one fighting. I promise you there are people undergoing personal hardship to do the right thing.
what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

Due to the situation in America, I've decided to make a discord server with PDFs of the banned books.
Nosferatu's library is divided into categories based on authors, with each book having its own channel and each author having a discussion forum for you to talk about the books and the authors.
There is also a general chat, a channel where I update all the books I intend to add, and a channel to recommend more books to add.
Fuck Trump. Stay strong. Don't let the fascists win.
Edit: No, I will not be using a different platform or way to do this. I'm not asking for advice on what to use instead of Discord. If you know a better way, do it yourself. I will gladly share the PDFs with you. Otherwise, I'll stick to my method.
Edit 2: Link renewed, should work again.
Edit 3: Server is going through a massive structure re-work. For now, I am unfortunately unable to take book requests. Please hold on.
Edit 4: Server re-work is mostly done. We're working through as many important books and files as we can. We still don't take book requests for now, but we've managed to obtain a lot of CDC documents, history and safety resources (i love you willow).
