worse, that is not going to happen,' said the Vermont Independent senator, whose broadly popular policy proposals have long been dismissed by Democratic leaders as unrealistic and radical while President Donald Trump has increasingly captured the attention of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorkingClass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"

Efficiency ( <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DOGE</a>) who poured $277 million on the president's campaign, swept through numerous agencies, with DOGE staffers setting up illegal servers, seizing control of data, shutting federal employees out of offices, and working to shut down operations across the government."Since Trump took office for his second term just over a month ago, roughly 30,000 federal employees have been fired or laid off—part of Musk's push to cut $2 trillion in federal spending in order to fill the $4.6 trillion hole that Trump's extension of the 2017 tax cuts would blow in the deficit."<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Republican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow

I really feel that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PublicSector" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicSector</a> organizations are becoming targets.”"According to the '2023 Palo Alto Networks Canada Ransomware Barometer' report, which includes analysis of a survey of IT professionals conducted by Angus Reid Group, 35 percent of Canadian businesses with at least 100 employees were hit by ransomware attacks during the past year. Fifty-eight percent of those businesses needed more than a month to recover from an attack, while 24 percent took longer than four months. The report notes that cyber criminals appear to be targeting manufacturing businesses 'significantly more' than other types of Canadian businesses and institutions, but “today’s threat actors do not discriminate against specific industries.” In fact, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BritishLibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BritishLibrary</a> was hit with a separate ransomware attack on the same day as TPL last fall, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LondonPublicLibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LondonPublicLibrary</a> in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ontario" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ontario</a> was attacked in December, and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TorontoZoo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TorontoZoo</a> was attacked earlier this month.“'In the case of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PublicLibraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicLibraries</a>, I think [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CyberAttacks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CyberAttacks</a>] are particularly troublesome, because we’re dedicated to equality and access to information and intellectual freedom and openness to all,' Bowles said, adding that this attack has impacted people throughout the community, especially patrons who rely on TPL for access to public computers and other technology. 'I think this represents an attack on the very essence of civil society. That's what I think is really troubling about all this—when I hear about the impact this is having on people like students, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lowincome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lowincome</a> communities, youth, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/jobseekers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jobseekers</a>, [people] who don’t have any other resources other than what the library can offer. It’s just heartbreaking.'"
