The administration is trying to destroy the Endangered Species Act from within. Public commenting is basically the only way to thwart this rule before getting to court. If you have a few minutes to comment:

Israel killed Fatima Hassona. Israel murdered photojournalist Fatima Hassona.
"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."

Don't forget that they are simultaneously moving to gut the postal service.

You know, the folks who operate the place you go to get a passport.
BREAKING: The House passed the SAVE Act, which requires Americans to show a passport or birth certificate to register to vote.

Over half of all Americans do not have a passport. Millions more do not have access to their birth certificate.

21 MILLION citizens will be impacted.

For the record, this is what journalists have been doing for years when visiting countries widely regarded as dictatorships.
Make of that what you will.
So, anyone going to visit America - take a clean phone, install or delete apps, any you do have, sign out of them beforehand, keep phone off until you clear immigration, *print out* all travel documents such as boarding passes. On way back, delete browsing data, history.

I work in 2 libraries and here’s what my community would lose if we closed:

✖️Pre-k, afterschool, homeschooling AND summer programs
✖️We hired high schoolers and pay them out of pocket to tutor elementary school kids at no cost to parents
✖️Senior tech assistance
✖️Our Library of Things which includes
Dear Congress,
Libraries are the place we all belong. The place where Mister Rogers’ neighbors collide at the library to help one another. We come together to embrace library joy. What good is the world without libraries and museums? ❤️‍🩹

Call, email Congress! Help libraries & museums! We need you 💛
