Ronald Silver was 36 years old and father to five young children. His death was hideous, agonizing, completely unnecessary. Dying on a strangers front porch because you cannot cool off in time or get water on the job- in a democratic state no less- is beyond shameful.

When Ronald Silver II died, no statewide workplace heat standard was in effect. And MOSH can’t fine public sector employers for safety violations. Legislation pending in Annapolis aims to change that.

Keep your messaging simple:
“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”
That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Trump and his advisors are high on their own supply after getting away with so much in their first week. But they are going to regret this one. It’ll devastate red states that rely on this money for basic programs that keep people fed, clothed, alive. A huge unforced error politically and legally.
Trump is attempting to unilaterally freeze trillions of dollars in federal spending that’s been duly appropriated by Congress. This is completely insane and illegal. He’s seizing unlawful control over the constitutional spending power? Five alarm fire www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.
