DoubleSpeak: "If you ask a National Park Service ranger how the Trump administration’s cost cutting will affect your next park visit, you might get talking points instead of a straight answer.

A series of emails sent late last month to front-line staff at parks across the country provided rangers with instructions on how to describe the highly publicized staff cuts. Park leaders further instructed staff to avoid the word “fired” and not blame closures on staffing levels.

On Feb. 14, at least 1,000 park service employees were terminated as part of broad reductions to the federal workforce by the Trump administration and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. As a result, visitor centers have reduced hours, tours of popular attractions have been canceled, lines have spiraled, bathrooms may go uncleaned, habitat restoration has ceased and water has gone unchecked for toxic algae.

Meanwhile, rangers have been ordered to describe these cuts — or “attrition” and “workforce management actions,” according to the talking points — as “prioritizing fiscal responsibility” and “staffing to meet the evolving needs of our visitors.” They also should tell visitors the parks will continue to ensure “memorable and meaningful experiences for all.”

If asked about limited offerings, one park’s rangers were instructed to say “we are not able to address park or program-level impacts at this time.”"

This is what is expected to happen when you put a billionaire with a severe drug addiction problem in charge of monitoring the Federal Government spending of the world's largest economy

"“DOGE Has 10 Staffers at Social Security in Hunt for Dead People,” the headlines read this past week.

I found a dead person on Social Security. Right here in Seattle, on Capitol Hill.

Of course the circumstances of Ned Johnson’s death were completely the opposite of what Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency had claimed was rampant.

“You wake up one day and discover you’re dead,” Johnson told me. “It’s been truly surreal.”

That’s the biggest difference — my deceased guy turns out to be very much alive. Musk is contending that hordes of dead people are listed as alive in the Social Security databases, and are fraudulently still drawing benefits (which the Social Security director disputes).

Johnson is 82 and still kicking. Yet sometime last month, someone or something led Social Security to both tag him as dead and start clawing back his benefits.

Johnson’s strange trip through the netherworld began in February, when a letter from his bank arrived addressed to his wife, Pam."

JAAA.... bitte trötet und retrötet alles zu Protesten gegen autoritäre Regime / Diktatoren / faschistische Parteien.

Allen Mutigen einen großen DANK, dass ihr euch in Gefahr begebt und gegen Diktatoren auf die Straße geht.
Je mehr das veröffentlicht wird, desto mehr Normalität einer Protestkultur schaffen wir.

Ihr seid alle Vorbilder - ob jung oder alt.
Edit: Nachmachen ist unbedingt erwünscht.

Orban hit with the political eviction notice.

His biggest rival, currently leading in the polls, Péter Magyar declared: “It’s over, comrade”—in Russian. You cannot script a bigger humiliation for Putin’s Hungarian lapdog.

Orban spent years taking orders from Putin, sabotaging #Ukraine, blocking #EU sanctions, all to keep Putin happy—just to get roasted in his own language by the guy who’s about to replace him.

Putin’s puppets are falling apart. One by one, like a shit flies 💩

Reminder that the Saudis, backed by US and UK, bombed the Yemenis non-stop and savagely from 2015-22. The alliance also imposed a blockade which caused a famine and pushed millions of kids to brink of starvation.

The Yemenis remained undefeated. Trump and Starmer have no chance.

(And Why Does It Matter?)National Taxpayers Union (NTU) recently endorsed the continuing resolution that would fund the government until the end of Fiscal Year 2025, congressional disapproval of the IRS digital asset sales rule, and the Pandemic Unemployment Fraud Enforcement Act.

Die #USA agieren unter #Trump wahnsinnig (Zölle etc) und gegen Beschäftigte! Darum habe ich mich zu #BoycottUSA und #buyeuropean entschlossen - regional und sozial, am besten von gewerkschaftlich gut organisierten Betrieben.

Empfehlenswert: goeuropean.org - tariflich zahlende Unternehmen = Arbeitgeberverband/Haustarif.
