As of this fall, I found out I am allergic to gold. And I blame #thatguy #DonaldTrump for it, him prematurely claiming this term as a #GoldenAge and decorating DC #federalbuildings with really ugly gold vermeil (maybe fake, yellow mica or something?) I do like gold and am kind of flabbergasted how ugly he can make it look. #goldallergy PS: I still wear gold jewelry but am letting my docs know not to use medical gold for dental fillings or arthritis relief. And I'll skip the #24kskincare trend.

To Fight the #Trump / #Musk Purge, #FederalWorkers Hold Nationwide #DayOfAction to '#SaveOurServices'

#DemocracyNow, February 19, 2025

"Today federal workers nationwide are calling for support for a 'Save Our Services Day of Action' mobilizing nationwide in opposition to #Elon Musk’s efforts to dismantle government agencies through the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or #DOGE. Workers plan to protest outside of #FederalBuildings and #TeslaDealerships to show support for the work of federal agencies. 'It’s not just about federal workers,' says Eric Blanc, author and assistant professor of labor studies at Rutgers University. 'If they take out the federal #unions, that’s our best block right now against Trump’s authoritarian power grab.' This comes as Musk has gained access to the sensitive information of millions of Americans, all the while laying off government workers en masse. The layoffs have affected the #FAA, #NIH, #IRS and more."

To Fight the Trump/Musk Purge, Federal Workers Hold Nationwide Day of Action to “Save Our Services”

Today federal workers nationwide are calling for support for a “Save Our Services Day of Action” mobilizing nationwide in opposition to Elon Musk’s efforts to dismantle government agencies through the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.

The Pentagon will install rooftop solar panels as Biden pushes clean energy in federal buildings

The Defense Department will install solar panels on the Pentagon as part of a Biden administration plan to promote energy conservation and clean energy. The Pentagon is one of 31 government sites that are receiving grants for the Energy Department program, which the administration says is intended to “reestablish the federal government as a sustainability leader” and promote President Joe Biden’s commitment to clean energy. The 31 projects selected for $104 million in grants are expected to double the amount of carbon-free electricity at federal facilities and create 27 megawatts of clean-energy capacity while leveraging more than $361 million in private investment.
