Wondering what *you* can do about the president's baseless firing Dr Erika McEntarfer from her role as BLS Commissioner?
We have 3 suggestions:
1 - Contact your rep (sample script at link in 🧵).
2 - Let us know how you use jobs, inflation, or other data from BLS.
3 - Share widely (cont'd)...

Hundreds of NOAA employees are being fired by Trump and DOGE.
The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.
A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.
Again, this isn't about efficiency.

With each disaster, it is important to say: This is happening because it makes some people rich, and those people are planning to escape on their own lifeboat without you.

Some of America's richest individuals paid all of their Social Security taxes yesterday for the entire year.
Most Americans will pay Social Security taxes all year long.
That's because in 2025, SS taxes are only applied to the first $176K earned.
This cap has put Social Security at risk.

Coming from a former public employee for the state of Wisconsin, and as a current bargaining committee member that just achieved a first contract in my current workplace, I am so excited for the improved working conditions that will come.
The state motto is “Forward”
May they never go back!

In case you missed it, a Wisconsin judge this week struck down former Gov. Scott Walker's Act 10 law.
The move will restore public sector workers' collective bargaining rights.
This is a moment of celebration and hope in these troubled times.
