“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

The GOP announced a DOGE Subcommittee hearing next week attacking public media. It’s clear this attack on NPR & PBS is part of a larger pattern by the Trump Admin and GOP of trying to silence free speech and dissent, while they continue to shield Elon Musk from the most basic public transparency.

Parks Are Being Dismantled Before Our Very Eyes
Fired staff, canceled building leases, erased history. The National Park System’s situation is dire, but protecting parks is why NPCA was created.

Can we demand new elections ?
Can we expect the military to step in and remove him ?
Can we stage a public revolt ?
Can we impeach him ?
What does it take to remove a treasonous administration ?
When is enough enough ?

I work for the National Park Service (NPS) in Alaska. Thank you, Boston, for this random postcard of kindness to one of our arctic parks! Your message is being shared across our Alaska region and has brought smiles to so many.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

A lot of people are going to die from this
First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.
“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"
Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

F.D.A. Cancels Meeting of Vaccine Experts Scheduled to Advise on Flu Shots
