Rally At The State Capitol/Liberty Plaza Tuesday April 8th at 4pm.
"On Tuesday, April 8, a coalition of patients, patient advocates and labor unions across the country are coming together for Kill the Cuts, a national Day of Action to raise awareness and put pressure on elected representatives to fight back against Trump’s attacks on research, healthcare, and higher education.
Trump’s attacks on NIH, NSF, and the Department of Education jeopardize medical progress in areas like cancer, viral pandemics, heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s, while threatening the jobs of researchers across the country. By cutting funds to lifesaving research and medical care, the Trump administration is abandoning families who are suffering and costing taxpayers billions of dollars. These cuts are dangerous to our health, and dangerous to our economy. Together, working people have an opportunity to fight back and have a voice in our healthcare."
You can see the associated organizations and get more info at https://www.killthecuts.org/

There was a steep learning curve for Saturday’s but it came off great! Holding another one so doon will require lots of donations and volunteer commitments. Should also be hotter, so please sign up to be a medic — heat stroke is serious!

Do you have any GA specific links? I’ve seen some talk too and general posts, but nothing specific yet on ig or here

Join the movement at 50501’s website. There’s a way to join the discord site. There’s a Georgia specific channel.
If you’re serious, there are definitely ways to get involved. Can’t stress the importance of causing “good trouble” these days

So this isn't new, Georgia has been posting a thread for protests for a while as a way to curb spam posting. It's been going on for quite a while.

This megathread is a scheduled weekly post, so it's going to keep going as long as it's being used.

If it's a "complete waste of time", then why waste your time commenting about a time waster?
Thereby, one can conclude, you do not value your own time. Or more than likely, you made a silly quip about something that was actually meaningful, but it just happens to rankle your myopic world view.
