Thousands of #Health and Human Services (#HHS) employees across the country are being dismissed on Tuesday as the #Trump administration began implementing its controversial workforce reduction plan, which could ultimately remove 10,000 staff from the department through forced #layoffs – slashing nearly a quarter of its workforce through a combination of layoffs and early retirement offers.

Intense layoffs have begun at HHS.

The agency “as we’ve known it is finished, with most of the leaders with institutional knowledge and a deep understanding of product development and safety no longer employed.” — former FDA commissioner Rob Califf

More than 1,900 members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine signed an open letter -- warning Americans about the “danger” of the Trump administration’s attacks on science.

The letter comes amid the administration’s relentless assault on US scientific institutions
which has included #threats to private universities,
federal grant #cancelations and ideological funding reviews, mass government #layoffs, resignations and #censorship.

“We see real danger in this moment,” the letter states.
“We hold diverse political beliefs, but we are united as researchers in wanting to protect independent scientific inquiry.
We are sending this SOS to sound a clear warning: the nation’s scientific enterprise is being decimated.”

#TaxTheRich, it’s a decent start

Posted by Bluebird | Mar 12, 2025

"As incredible as it may seem, just a handful of #billionaire #Mainers could fund the state for years out of their own pockets and still live out their lives as multimillionaires. So when socialists say tax the rich, we mean more than raising what billionaires pay by 1% or 2%, we mean raising their taxes by 25% or 50% or more to start with. We mean we should take back the wealth they have collected by exploiting all the people who have worked for them, all the land they have stolen, and all the resources they have grabbed all around the world. In the meantime, socialists often support smaller measures whenever we feel like they are a way to raise funds to help our class, raise consciousness, and build organization.

However, increasing taxes on the wealthy isn’t a permanent solution to the persisting problems of #capitalist society. It’s a good start, but it’s not enough.

[...]

"By all means tax [the wealthy] at a rate of 95%, 99%, 100%, 200%! Take back everything they have stolen from us. Truly solving the causes of social inequality cannot happen until the property of the capitalist class has been expropriated, but for the reasons explained above, simply taxing them at any rate will prove ineffective given enough time.

"Moreover, tax increases tend to antagonize capitalists. Sooner or later, as we are seeing very clearly now in Washington, they will transform their economic might into raw political power to claw back even the small social costs that generations of #SocialMovements and trade unions have imposed on them. During such times, as grim as our prospects may seem, it becomes clearer than ever that so long as the capitalists have all the power, even the most progressive public policy can only be temporary.

"How much longer will capitalist industry be allowed to #pollute the planet? How many more times does the economy have to crash? How many more wars will we be forced to fight on the behalf of these #RobberBarons? How many more lives will be ruined by #debts, mass #layoffs, denied insurance claims, and more? Why should we tolerate a system that exploits those whose labor keeps society functioning?"

'Gov. Tony Evers is trying to recruit displaced federal workers to Wisconsin following waves of mass layoffs by the Trump Administration.

The state Department of Workforce Development launched an online portal this week with resources for people seeking career opportunities in Wisconsin. The agency is also hosting a series of virtual job fairs in April.'
