So how do we object to Social Security Administration being used as a vehicle for Trump administration propaganda? The fascist takeover of America gets creepier by the minute, as we approach the midterm elections.

#mayday is the day of the workers in Germany, a national holiday. Thousands marched through Bremen to the old city in protest the rise of the extreme right and the current government's policies. Here we are gathered in the old town's market place listening to union and community leaders
Crowd with banners, filling the Bremen market square and clapping. Crowd with banners, one about kids and the future, in the Bremen Domshof

@ucs.org Do you know of any sort of impact summaries on the effects of the current Regime's war on science? (eg. scientists fired, grants canceled, censorship, institutions like NOAA dismantled)? We need something informative for a short speech at a Mar 28 No Kings rally in Germany.
