Seems like there are some shady things happening at FWS HQ

No offence. But I’m hoping there’s a full general strike on March 15 and so on if required. It’s past time for post cards. Why are people not mobilizing? Is it because there’s no lead for it? Feels like everyone is wringing your fists. Get out on the streets, stock up and then boycott everything.

A general strike is being organized, but only 300,000 have pledged to strike so far, and 10 million are needed for it to be effective. Please sign up and spread the info:

Mass protests will be completely ineffective. What's needed are acts of sabotage. But the actual reality is all of this is happening too late. And no, I'm not being defeatist.

Organizing strikes like this also is going to be less effective when websites are asking for names and contact info in an era when individuals risk specific targeting. I'm certainly not entering my name on any form whatsoever, despite my willingness to participate. So the numbers are going to be off

(1/) Yea those are valid concerns, I was initially worried about that as well. Reasons why I decided to sign up anyway:
1. Strength in numbers - I'm just 1 in 300k
2. Nothing remotely illegal about it
3. Trusted orgs like Indivisible vouch for them

4. If I and others let fear prevent us from participating on such a benign, passive level, then we are already handing over our basic freedoms. We must not comply in advance!
5. Their FAQ has a section about data protection that is reassuring.

On March 15th, people will mail Donald Trump a postcard that publicly expresses our opposition to him. And we, in vast numbers, from all corners of the world, will overwhelm the man with his unpopularity and failure.

Postcards? What does that do? They would just be received by the mail folks at the whitehouse who will be instructed to discard them. It honestly sounds like the least effective way we could focus our effort.

Also calling State Representatives daily. What are you doing? I’m not being sarcastic. I think we are all looking for ways to voice our concerns.

I will do a post on this— what can we do?

My heart is with you all. I'm also afraid SS payments will stop, which will make me homeless.

In 2015, prior to Trump’s first election I had heard he had a special axe to grind with fws. I don’t know if it’s true, but something related to a golf course development and wetland impacts. Possibly including EPA, too. Of course, it would have been a 404 permit. Anyone else hear this?
