Move to Wix

 I didn't think this would get as much attention as it has been getting, so I'm moving this over to Wix since it's just a little more user friendly.

Blackout Friday

Today is Blackout Friday.

To show the power of the people, we are not buying from big box stores, online stores, gasoline, or any other "big players" in the economy.  If you shop, please try to use cash so credit card companies feel the burn as well.

If you need to shop, shop local and with cash.

Spam The System

 If you are totally into spamming the government offices to jam up DOGE and the Trump Administration, then this is for you.

Official OPM-OMB Memorandum *.PDF  https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/latest-memos/guidance-on-agency-rif-and-reorganization-plans-requested-by-implementing-the-president-s-department-of-government-efficiency-workforce-optimization-initiative.pdf

Feb. 26, 2025 a memorandum was sent out to government offices demanding that all agency heads develop Agency Reorganization Plans to "eliminate waste, bloat, and insularity".  These plans will further reduce the federal workforce and lend itself to agencies bending to the Trump administration.

If you want to spam the system, please send ANONYMOUS email plans of your choosing to: tracking@opm.gov (OPM) and workforce@omb.eop.gov (OMB).

Deadline #1 - March 13, 2025.  Include title "Department of [enter word/phrase] - Phase 1 ARRPs".  Include a pdf full of whatever bullshit you want.

Deadline #2 - April 14, 2025.  Include title "Department of [enter word/phrase] - Phase 2 ARRPs".  Include a pdf full of whatever bullshit you want.

Here is a header graphic that you can use:

I would suggest creating a cover letter that looks official and then following it up with whatever you want to send to them.  I'd make it at least 5 pages so the document appears to be of some substance.

This LINK has a fake document that you can send or use as a base for creating your own.  It will be active until March 6th.

Shareable graphic, but make sure you also share the PDF link above.

What's Happening? 2/26

 You might be wondering what is going on over the next week or two.

Golden Fist Rally TBD

 

I had an idea for a protest march and music fest.  Not sure what to call it, so for right now I'm just rolling with Golden Fist Rally.

We gather to start a short protest march through downtown Fairbanks.  Down with Trump, Down with Musk, Restore DEI, Support Minorities, Climate Change is Real, etc.

We end up at a location where we have live music going on, as well as performances by other locals - maybe a drag show or FLOW or dancers or something...or a bunch of somethings.  Maybe we could arrange for some food trucks to show up?

When: Summer 2025

Where: Downtown Fairbanks

If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please let me know.  I'm looking for organizational help and interested parties who would want to perform.   Jessiedesmond82@gmail.com

What sparked this idea?  I was thinking about Berlin's Fuckparade because I was re-watching that techno viking video.  Fuckparade was started in the late 90s as a protest against the corporate world, gentrification, etc.  It's a techno parade that leads to a techno music festival.

I got to thinking that Fairbanks has a fair amount of: musicians, artists, performers, pagans and heathens, drag queens, minorities, LGBTQ+, and people who approve of diversity within our community.  If we could come together, we could make an impact.

Pack The Offices - 2/24

 

Feb. 24th - 4pm.  Pack the Offices.

101 12th Avenue, Fairbanks, AK 99701

This is an initiative to leave in person written comment, on a weekly basis and in community, at the offices of Senator Murkowski and Senator Sullivan. It’s really easy - they have a simple form you fill out. We will meet on the steps of the Federal Building and visit offices together. We are not there to antagonize staff. The protest is simply showing up in community. Standing in line is the resistance. The pressure of people waiting in the hall is the point. The senators need to know their offices are packed at least once a week.
