Musk’s staffers are now forcing federal employees at several agencies including the FAA to sign non-disclosure agreements. The goal is simple: silence the resistance through more threats and now, forced agreements. Maybe we’re not supposed to be talking about being forced to sign NDAs… oops, lol.

Are you living with complex health conditions? Love someone who does? What do you think the consequences of these actions will be for the next generation(s)? #HHS #beagoodancestor
10,000 Health and Human Services employees are being laid off.

These are the people who track diseases, conduct research, make sure our food and medicine is safe, and administer health insurance for nearly half the country.

Tell me how this will "make America healthy again."
Mass layoffs are underway at the nation's public health agencies
Employees across the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have begun receiving notices of dismissal in a major overhaul expected to ultimately lay off up to 10,000 people.

We’ve heard rumors that the traitor tots from DOGE are on CDC campus today firing people on the spot if they don’t have their ID or stepped away without locking their laptop. Kids these days.

Old Activism speaks to those who’ve carried the weight of change, disillusionment, and the heaviness of holding ideals.

She grew ashamed of difference,
And tired of the heights,
The soapbox of sighs and stillness.

Urgent: Illegal Activity Underway

Many undocumented immigrants file tax returns with the IRS, providing details about their residences, families, employers, and earnings. The IRS has historically encouraged tax compliance by issuing ITINs to those without Social Security numbers.

It had been a very long time since a film moved me so deeply and left me in a state of contemplative rage. It's a limited run, so go check it out while you can and educate yourself on the displacement and genocide that continues to happen. #NoOtherLand #FreePalestine #MasaferYatta #BaselAdra

This is what I mean when I say the #climatechange conversation is shortsighted, not #sustainable. Fingers crossed won't stop the changes and increasing catastrophes. We need to stop drinking the corporate Kool-Aid and force investment, accountability, and redesign of what isn't working. #LAfires
California legislators had an opportunity to create a climate superfund last year, which would have made fossil fuel companies pay the state tens of billions of dollars for the damages of climate change.

The bill never made it to a vote.

I think much of the conversations around #sustainability and #climatechange tend to be far too narrow and short-sighted. Our world is changing, regardless of ideology, and we should be taking a complex adaptive systems approach to how we are thinking about community planning, resource management.
Why did fire hydrants run dry across Los Angeles?
Critics have erroneously blamed California environmental policies and empty reservoirs for lack of water
