While Musk wants to see our financial and personal data, he refuses to share his own.

This is frightening to me on an even more personal level than usual. This "comes as Musk and his cohorts are publicly threatening social security benefits, citing unsubstantiated claims of mass fraud."

I am in Canada, but will do something (still sorting out what, I admit). So many of my friends and colleagues are under threat or having their work actively dismantled. We can’t be complacent either. I don’t think the public understands what they are losing, and that isn’t limited to the USA 🧪
We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

Pennies cost 3.7 cents each to make. Canceling them will force everyone to move to nickels, which cost 13.8 cents ea. to make. Making the extra nickels we will need will actually cost the US $78M more than if we don't cancel pennies.
