The NPCA has calculated the Trump admin’s proposed🚨cuts to the National Park Service budget could result in >75% reduction to the #NPS. With 433 national park units across the country, that'd essentially wipe out budgets & staffing for at least 350 national park units.

The admin’s recently released budget proposal calls for a cut of >$1B to the NPS -includes a $900M cut to the ops of our national parks...

In an April 16 internal email announcing the cancellation of the…report…Angelina LaRose, asst administrator in the #EIA’s office of #energy analysis, blamed the decision on the departure of so many staff #experts. >100 of the EIA’s 350 staff have left as a result of #firings or resignations, in the wake of “Fork in the Road” buyout offers from #ElonMusk’s #DOGE. “…we will not be releasing the IEO this year. This was a difficult decision based on the loss of key resources.”

"US Border Towns💔Are Being Ravaged by Canada’s Furious Boycott
Economically dependent on their northern neighbor.

Economically dependent on their northern neighbor, business owners in Washington state are🚨laying off employees & shutting their doors."

Since Trump said he wanted to make Canada a US state with “economic force,” Canadians have boycotted the US.

Trump’s admin has lined the WH driveway with posters featuring migrants’ mugshots as the Trump broadcasts his #immigration crackdown.

The WH lawn has been lined with mugshot-style posters bearing the faces of arrested illegal migrants: feature photos of the migrants +apparent crimes, & WH’s logo: at the bottom of each poster.

This is NK style propaganda; the #TrumpRegime is distracting from the crises it created: #tariffs, #lawlessness, #firings, #deportations...

Social Security is in trouble:

"In internal email, a SSA rep says "1000s" of career officials have been converted to pol appointees under Sch F, likely🚨PAVING THE WAY FOR THEIR FIRING. The American Fed of Govt Employees has filed litigation challenging the proposed change, arguing: Sch F should only apply to employees with important policy-making duties, not employees who implement pol appointees’ policy determinations-."

"HUGE PROTESTS are the most impt thing we can do right now. As MLK said: “there's no noise as powerful as the sound of marching feet of a determined people.”

I’m talking🚨numbers so large they shock ppl -friend & foe & media alike.

I know it can feel overwhelming.

The lawlessness & extremism & corruption—the cruelty—all feeling like they’re accelerating week after week.

Simple: Join a protest. This weekend."

“There’s no real method to it -no geopol connection."

Under Musk: admin is firing 1000s of prob employees. The effort has upended the lives of govt workers.

It said it had saved exactly $318,310,328.30.

#Musk’s group has now triggered mass #firings across the government, & sharp cutbacks in #humanitarian #aid around the world. Musk has justified those disruptions with two promises: that the group would be transparent, & that it would achieve budget cuts that others called impossible.

Now, watching the group pare back its aims & puff up its progress, some of its allies have grown doubtful about both.

“Scientists forced to perform humiliating new job amid Trump cuts.”

I wish that this article was from the Onion, but it’s actually news from the Daily Mail, that’s unfortunately the awful truth about the possible fate of scientists who were fired by the Trump admin by way of Musk’s DOGE.

It’s Trump who should be made to perform humiliating jobs in prison, for the rest of his life.
