Getting creative! 😉 Hundreds of billboards are rising in 40 U.S. cities, bashing staff and service cuts at national parks under DOGE.

Our hearts go out to the incredible folks at NIOSH. On Friday night, most remaining staff were laid off—gutting programs that protect workers, like PPE approvals and firefighter health research.
RFKJ’s HHS tried to downplay it on X, brushing it off as just a “required notice.”
Total BS.

We’re not sure what separates the Trump admin from the “terrorists” it claims to be fighting. You watch whats happening and can’t even process it—what the hell is going on is all we can think. Our Constitution grants everyone within this country the same legal protections, regardless of citizenship.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies.
The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits.
Maybe it's not the judges?

At this point, @johnfetterman.com is the Dem’s biggest problem.
Namely, that he doesn’t vote with Dems, uphold the promises he made while running a Dem campaign, or advocate for his Dem constituents.

While Fetterman is busy telling reporters the left is Dems' biggest problem, he had to cancel an event with his Republican bro because they're both too unpopular and too chickenshit to face their own constituents.
Fetterman, McCormick called ‘cowards’ by protesters after canceling Pa. event
The protesters showed up even though McCormick and Fetterman postponed their planned appearance on Saturday in Pittsburgh.

I do not love that we basically have to raise like 3k before I can buy food bc of our deficit due to having to handle that family emergency, & it looks like disability wont come.
Like idk wtf to do.
Our fridge was basically empty before, & we haven't bought a lot the last month bc were moving.

But those non-wheelchair users saying that slur wasn’t ableist, I would bet cold hard cash you’d never use bigoted slurs against any other demographic.
