2 Cameras are tools of resistance. Stay sharp. Stay free. Work in pairs, stay alert, and know your rights. Record everything—but not faces. Be ready to move fast if things escalate. This isn’t just protest—it’s defense of democracy. Watch the video. Save it. Be prepared to protect your people.

2/4. This isn’t just a budget cut. It’s a direct attack on the public’s right to trusted, independent news and local programming. NPR and PBS are lifelines for millions, especially in rural communities where more than 30% of local stations’ budgets come from federal support.

3/4 But it doesn’t stop there. This package slashes foreign aid for peacekeeping, refugee assistance, and climate action—programs that save lives and uphold America’s global leadership. These aren’t luxuries—they’re essential to global stability and humanitarian relief.

2/3 Already, women are being denied basic care because doctors fear legal consequences.
If these lawsuits succeed, anyone seeking or providing reproductive health care could face criminal investigations, and marginalized communities—especially Black, brown, & low-income women—will be hit hardest.

3 HIPAA was designed to protect our medical privacy. Overturning these rules is a deliberate move to intimidate, surveil, and punish people for making their own health decisions.
Fight back to defend our fundamental rights & protect every person’s access to confidential, compassionate health care

2/4 By simultaneously allowing DOGE to evade Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requirements, the Court has ensured that watchdog groups, journalists, and the public are kept in the dark about how this unprecedented data grab is being carried out and to what end.

3/4 This move follows explicit judicial findings that DOGE has actively obscured its operations to evade legal scrutiny, even as it orchestrates sweeping cuts and policy changes across the federal government.

4 The combination of unchecked access to Social Security numbers, medical histories, & financial data with a judicially sanctioned blackout on public records requests is a recipe for abuse, secrecy, & irreparable harm—leaving millions vulnerable while those in power operate behind a wall of silence
