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."

Visualizing Trump’s overhaul of #federalworkforce
#CNN is tracking evolving situation at federal offices in Washington and across #UnitedStates. Thousands of #federalworkers have been laid off or issued immediate termination notifications as part of Trump administration’s plan to cut spending and downsize the federal #government.
The tracker only includes firings and not administrative leave or those who took buyouts at the fork in the road.

If you’re a #FederalGovernment #FederalWorkforce #FederalEmployee subject to a Reduction In Force (RIF) notice, or know someone who is, and think someone could be affected by one, watch this video: linkedin.com/posts/shaunsouthw

www.linkedin.comRIF Truth Serum ⚖️ | Shaun SouthworthRIF Truth Serum ⚖️ Caption draft 🚨 RIF notice just hit your inbox? Here’s the 3-minute crash course every federal employee needs (watch the video, then read on). Key takeaways: 1️⃣ The 60-day clock only restarts if the action gets harsher or the effective date moves earlier—see 5 C.F.R. 351.804-805. 2️⃣ Agencies must rerun retention registers when dates shift later. New promotions, ratings, or veterans’ docs = new rankings. 3️⃣ Bad math = instant MSPB appeals, so watch for sloppy amended notices (HHS folks, you know what I mean). 4️⃣ Protect yourself today: pull your eOPF, verify SCD & vets’ preference, query HR in writing, and loop in counsel fast. Need strategic help? • Individual RIF retainers start at $5K • One-hour strategy session: $350 → fedlegalhelp.com/strategy • DIY MSPB course wait-list (25 % launch discount): fedlegalhelp.com/RIFcourse Share this with every fed you know—knowledge is leverage.

The New York Times · Supreme Court Clears Way for Trump Administration’s Mass Firings of Federal WorkersBy Abbie VanSickle

The ironic detail wrapped up in this massive clusterf*ck: “The number of federal employees who work remotely or regularly telework increased significantly during the COVID pandemic. But many agencies have been shifting toward teleworking for decades, spurred by the desire to reduce office space costs and improve recruitment and retention, according to the federal Office of Personnel Management.”

“When Trump mandated a return to work, it was thought that this was a pretext to demoralize workers by taking away benefits and flexibility, perhaps in the hope that it would lead to resignations. But the quality of the office experience itself may be adding to that.” 🤬

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.

The editors said they had also added data from an Aug 2024 study by the #OMB, which found that 54% of the #FederalWorkforce was required to show up at an office every day. According to the study, just 10% of federal employees worked exclusively from home. Those allowed to have hybrid schedules ended up spending an average of 60% of their work time at federal offices.

In the world of #journalism, this is how editors try to address egregious misreadings of their work.

“In all the flurry of news about Musk’s effort to seize control of the federal government and depopulate its workforce, this memo hasn’t received much attention yet. But if OPM succeeds in reclassifying the status of CIOs, Musk—or someone else—could gain control of the lifeblood of any modern organization: its IT.”
