If you are National Guard or active duty military & you are ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of your fellow Americans, call the Gl Rights Hotline 1-877-447-4487
There is support, you don't have to go through with it.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.

This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Agreed!
Modern libraries are my favorite place in the world.

I cannot believe the level of cool free stuff that's available now! I loved the library as a kid, but if I grew up with resources like these I probably would have lived there 😂

Anyone who is “measuring” the impact of the economic blackout in terms of revenue has lost the plot.

Millions of Americans just learned how it feels to collectively organize against corporate power.

That matters, and the efforts to convince us it doesn’t are proof of that.

Certainly will be! Getting prepared today and tomorrow. Trying to make it a no spend weekend, but might support a local diner for breaky one of the days. Maybe a coffee at the library cafe. Ooo the weakness of comfort
Are you participating in the 24-hour Economic Blackout
Feb 28th?

Well, are you?!

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Doing the unthinkable: The deep cuts to the #CDC's workforce today are expected to decimate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a program that has trained public health rapid responders for decades.
Envy of the world. Poof!

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.
