Trump and Elon are destroying the Social Security Administration, and without staff & offices, there will be people who can’t get their benefits—period. I put together a fact sheet about what Elon's decimation of Social Security will mean for YOU. Please share it far and wide.

Where do the four parties stand on homelessness? Check out our handy graphic! There is still one party — the Ontario PC Party — who have committed to making homelessness a crime in public spaces. You can still let them know they can and should change their mind: homelessrights.ca/get-involved

“If you're a federal employee and don't know what your union is, get involved with FUN, we'll help you figure it out. If you don't have a union, we'll help you learn to organize.” said Chris Dols, president of IFTPE Local 98 at the Army Corps of Engineers labornotes.org/2025/02/fede...

Hoping the media is incessant this week in its coverage of Doug Ford giving Elon Musk $100M.

We really went from, “We can’t possibly defund the police,” to “let’s defund everything else.” Smh

Science (and science policy, and conservation) friends, I need your help! We are collecting specific, clear examples of harms caused by the Trump administration's attacks on science, to be included in an open letter. Can be links to news stories/social media posts. 🧪🦑🌎 #SciComm #SciPol

If you are a cis person please take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

Trump wants Congress to pass the House GOP's version of a budget reconciliation bill that includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to pay for tax cuts for the rich. The House is on recess, so now would be a great time to call your rep and share your thoughts. (202) 224-3121

Happening now: it's 1°F outside in Chicago—a literal frozen hellscape. Furious EPA workers with AFGE Local 704 are rallying against the Trump/Musk evisceration of the federal workforce targeting new hires. Recently fired employees include those responsible for monitoring air & water quality.

Happy President’s Day from Union Square in NYC, where over 10,000 people filled the streets to oppose the Musk-Trump coup. Impassioned calls for Congress to do their job. The Resistance Revival Chorus led the march down Broadway. #StopTheCoup #ResistTheDictators #NotMyPresidentsDay

Been posting a lot about how to get started organizing, seeing a lot of guides, zines, articles, podcasts to that end as well. These things are all IMO also very helpful to more experienced folks, to pass on/point to/refresh/recenter. That said, some stuff I'm reflecting on for the old heads:

So Elon definitely just went to Trump and was like, “I’ll use computers to make the government good” and Trump thought “Sure, NERDS = COMPUTERS” and went back to imagining staging an all-white cast of Cats at the Kennedy Center

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

Sharing this from Rt. Rev. Jonathan H. Folts, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of South Dakota. “One of our own priests was targeted at his home—so let no one say, ‘it can’t happen here.’ It can. It has. It is. And rest assured, we will not remain silent or passive in responding.” My heart aches.

Unfortunately, this is the last 70+ years of conservative politics if we count white flight from public schools after the Brown v. Board of Education decision. It was the essence of Reaganism in the 1980s as well

Elon Musk’s X blocks links to Signal, the encrypted messaging service. Signal has been a primary method of communication for federal workers looking to blow the whistle on DOGE. www.disruptionist.com/p/elon-musks...

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.
