Thank you for posting. They're firing real people. Not numbers.

They have bills to pay. They're not trying to buy another yacht.

This is no way to run a country let alone a business. Shame.

Heartbreak everywhere 💔
Musk destroying the jobs of hundreds of thousands of American workers is an act of war.

MAGA needs to speak out as well. This don’t end without their voice as well.

Keep it up CBS. Show the horror to the lives people are experiencing just to cover tax breaks for the oligarchs and not to save money.

National Parks and Monuments need care as does anything. We now will watch forest fires and vandalism destroy what we have loved for years bc we refused to do due diligence prior to our vote. Now there is REAL inefficiency!

Thank you for covering this story Mr. MacFarlane. You are a good journalist.

They have ZERO interest in protecting the land, the environment, the wildlife. They do not want you there because they are going to break it apart and sell it to their friends for parts. Oil, minerals, prime real estate. To THEM that is the only worth of these places. So many sociopaths.

My heart is breaking for our country. Our National Parks are our precious commodity. I’m in the midst of going to all of them. These people are needed in our parks. They did not deserve this nir do the people of the US.

Many more heartbreaking stories will come, as thousand of families go through the same grief, fear, and loss.

I live 60 miles from Effigy Mounds. This news has circulated all over Iowa, and it breaks the heart of every Iowan.

Bummer, hopefully the voters are feeling some ‘buyers remorse’ there and are ringing their Congressperson.

The sleepy are awake and have been calling our Senators Grassley and Ernst and Cong. Hinson. We're all getting canned emails that basically say, "People voted for this, and we are following their lead." We're screwed.

I think there’s another demonstration planned— showing up in person is impossible to send a “canned” response to.

i-squirrel.bsky.social•3 days ago

You have a point, VJM. Protests concern me as so many bad actors taking opportunities to hijack events. I’m sure organizers are doing what they can to keep it legit. Are you concerned about the theory that they’ll use protests to declare martial law? Not 2 say it’s a good reason to stop protest.

vjm4democracy.bsky.social•3 days ago

He’s not to be trusted at all.
But I saw a report where National Guard put down their guns at a protest.

At some point we have to trust ourselves.

i-squirrel.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well, it’s a start, hopefully they show up for midterms and vote out every Trumper in office in the state. Unfortunately, I feel my neck of the woods needs to feel more pain to really get it.
