Federal workers and contractors are regular, hard-working Americans who have bills to pay and financial obligations to meet.

I am tremendously grateful that our federal courts continue to uphold the rule of law and protect our country from this Administration's unlawful, vengeful, and wicked attacks.

Today's federal court decision to temporarily halt Trump's illegal firing of federal employees was a decisive victory for not only our nation's hardworking civil servants, but for democracy.

Last week, I requested to have my federal pay withheld until after the government shutdown has ended. I continue to stand with the thousands of federal government employees who are being forced to work without pay.

I’m old enough to remember when we had a system of checks & balances that involved Congress, when Congress controlled the purse and legislated, and the president respected the Constitution & rule of law. I’m old enough to remember when a U.S. president wouldn’t want to be King George or a dictator.

Anyone still supporting this regime is where they found the guards at the concentration camps or those who simply noticed the trains were on time.

Silence is compliance.

Silence means YOU are UNDER CONTROL.

Who are you willing to obey and at what cost to the world?

#Maryland District One has been gerrymandered into the red... but #SalisburyMD is a proud blue dot.

Learn the lessons of YOUR OWN history, lived by your grandfathers and grandmothers. THEY WERE #ANTIFA - you MUST honor them by following in their footsteps or 400,000 Americans will have died for NOTHING. Is that your legacy to your family, succumbing to #fascism here at home?

CrabsOnTheShore @crabsontheshore.bsky.social · 13h

Here with you now or lost to time... the members of your family who stood against the fascist ambitions of Hitler, who were there when America SAVED THE FREE WORLD... are damn well expecting you to do the same.
