Please stop saying it saved money until you understand the value of what was cut. They are downsizing, and if the stuff getting cut had real value, its not a saving.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

If you want to share about your organizing, fine, but be aware that this opens you and your team up to surveillance, infiltration, legal action, etc. Keep names and other specifics private, and weigh the pros and cons of advertising this part of your life.

Yeah, the presumption that we're not all dupes or potential dupes is getting in the way of recognizing the true horror of what's happened. One billionaire exploited the rot of our laws to scam a critical number of voters and is now using that to loot the treasury, avoid the law, & persecute enemies.
