Seriously, where can @changilindivisible.bsky.social and I get in on that gravy train? ๐
22.03.2025 02:57 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Apparently Congressman Andy Biggs thinks Iโm a paid actor cause I protested outside his Republicans-only rally this week. *checks bank account* Still waiting for my check from some super scary Democratic sponsor to show up. I need something to cover the $17.28 I spent on poster boards and markers.

Contact your members of Congress and demand that they take action to protect the IMLS. Hereโs a sample call script. If the phones are down or voicemails are full, email them instead.

DOGE is likely planning to fire employees and close off access to the building. After their antics at IMLS were leaked to social media, DOGE is trying to avoid negative media attention and has backtracked slightly.
21.03.2025 02:08 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0IMLS is the federal agency that distributes federal funds approved by Congress to libraries, museums, and archive programs. Today IMLS employees reported DOGE staff arrived at their headquarters. Cuts to the agency could force closures of rural libraries, interlibrary loans, and other programs.

On 3/14/25 the president signed an executive order targeting the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). ๐งต
Well if this ainโt deliciously ironic Iโm not sure what is. And weโre supposed to put the guy who came up with this in charge of everything? Lol

Redefining a town hall because they can't defend their unpopular agenda or they just don't care who it will hurt

Also look Ma, Iโm on TV!!! This was my first ever protest, feels good to exercise some free speech with people who care about the same things you do.
Also shoutout to @changilindivisible.bsky.social for organizing this!
Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs advertised that he was holding a town hall, then turned away everyone who wasnโt a Republican cause heโs scared of being asked real questions. And this dude wants to run for governor?
