I’ve given it a lot of thought and I feel it’s necessary to publicly acknowledge and thank Sarah @skarabara.bsky.social for exposing my true identity as Farmer Fred. For transparency, I’ve revised my profile name accordingly. I trust all of you will keep my secret safe.

‼️‼️‼️This is verified. I can add buildings in Philly, San Francisco, Richmond, Atlanta and Dallas that we know of. SSA folks chime in if your office has been closed or evacuated please!!!!!!
BREAKING — Multiple Social Security Administration (SSA) buildings have been evacuated because of an "unconfirmed threat received." I've confirmed the Harold Washington Building in Chicago and the Bolling Building in Kansas City evacuated and working to confirm others.
Msg sent to Chicago office:
Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.
oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove.
people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.
Hey, Mikey, you lying again??? You were born in 1972. Roe was decided in 1973. So *IF* there’s a shred of truth to this story, the truth is your mom didn’t really have a choice. Not unless she wanted to take her chances on a back alley abortion. Keep breaking your precious 10 commandments though. 😒😒
“I was the product of an unplanned teen pregnancy...and a lot of people tried to convince my very young parents that they should just ‘take care of’ that problem. But I am eternally grateful that they allowed me the chance at life.” —Speaker Mike Johnson at the March for Life rally
Never forget, we are a nation founded on ideals, but we are also a nation of bullies. No matter how many times they say it, we’ve never been a Christian nation.
It was hard to convince Americans torture is wrong as a moral principle during Bush's term, and that was with the debate about whether torture makes us safer. I'm afraid for a portion of Trump's base, that calculation matters less. Idea of torturing undocumented immigrants may even bring pleasure.
When l’orange fires ambassadors, we notice. No one is talking about what happens to US delegations at international meetings, when they are even allowed to attend. Agency SMEs are left home while state dept appointees attend, craft insane US positions, disrupt meetings & piss off our allies. #resist
With the 60 minutes leak, the many recent Epstein releases, etc., I think we are seeing the future of government accountability under authoritarianism:
Leaks, hacks, data dumps, releases of big document caches.
Journalists and the public will have to learn how to digest this stuff. 🧵
DOJ infringing on states' rights by seeking to be involved with managing voter rolls/election administration.
Unconstitutional for sure but not surprising that 11 red states are gleeful to sign away their rights.
The regime has already stated previously they plan on sharing voter data with DHS.
Great example Vought’s incompetence. He forces feds out but is unable to process separations. Some fired feds still have not received leave payouts. Retired feds wait MONTHS for benefits. No money to live on. Such a circus admin. Clowns, all of them.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...
Look- we are all fighting invisible battles, but we have to keep fighting. I *know* how hard it is, but we need you. Keep fighting. Ask for help. DMs are open if you just need to chat! But please, please stay.
How many people “redacting” knew it wasn’t the right way to do it but followed instructions anyway knowing exactly what would happen?
A supervisor somewhere certainly knew. If 10% of the 1,000 agents knew the right procedure, that’s 100 patriotic Feds maliciously complying.

As federal employees, we often have no grey space in which to operate. If I had received explicit instructions on “how” to redact these files, I would’ve followed them to the letter, even if I knew it wasn’t being done correctly. Sounds like DOJ was more focused on the “what” to redact than the how.
So y’all know I don’t usually post rumors but occasionally I will if the source is one that I trust and the info is time sensitive soooooo with that said I’m gonna share what I’ve heard that has me like 🤬🤬🤬🤬 and y’all can believe or not based on the above info but I would not feel ok not sharing it.
Sheikh Fouad Saeed Abdulkadir, 46, a former imam at the Islamic Center of Northeast Ohio and a father of four, spent seven long months in ICE detention before passing away at the Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Pennsylvania.

After 20+ years working in the Department of Justice, I retired not long ago. I’m embarrassed to have any association with people who would put out an official DOJ press release like this x.com/thejusticede...
Happy Monday folks!
This time of year can be overwhelming, exhausting, and for some down right depressing.
Adding to that the millions of people who are going to lose health insurance in just a few days time.
Please be patient with each other. Love each other. Be the reason someone smiles today
Sooooo on 12/18, Mango Mussolini signed the EO that said agencies could give employees the 24th and 26th off and if agencies chose to open that was up to them. SSA leadership was silent. No guidance. Friday we got told by area HR to prep for early closeout and post holidays those days.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

An anonymous AI company wants to buy Dr. Tim Grosser's family land in Kentucky to build a data center.
They offered him up to $8 million dollars, and he refused.
They asked him to name his price, and he still refused.
Let’s give this article a more apt name. How about ‘Federal Science and Scientists Under Siege’?
Mostly sharing from NYT because I appreciate the inclusion of an audio option.
Also taking this opportunity to make a plug for donating to conservation nonprofits this year if you have spare change.
The admin is wasting no crisis... Sec. Kristi Noem said she is suspending the diversity visa lottery program (DV-1) after the Brown University suspect entered the U.S. through it in 2017.
Statistically, 15% of domestic violence attacks occur in the short period between Thanksgiving & New Year's.
Over 2300 women were murdered in DV attacks in 2024 alone.
There have been 180 fatal human/bear conflicts in North America since 1784.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
vanity fair photographer christopher anderson posts this story on his instagram, suggesting he intentionally posed stephen miller underneath a painting of native americans
After public blowback, a Kansas tribe has cancelled an agreement to build a holding area for immigrants arrested by ICE. With some Native Americans swept up and detained in recent ICE raids, the deal was derided online as “disgusting” and “cruel.”
