If you’re a federal employee, you should know this is a lie. Congress hasn’t appropriated these monies and so it’s literally not there to be spent. Also, federal agencies are limited by law to a max $25K payout in the case of restructuring.

The Trump-Alito phone call story will understandably get lost in the news cycle, but I think Alito's explanation for the call, which only gets weirder the more that comes out about it, is the best evidence in the long time that the Supreme Court's conservatives think you are an idiot

New episode is up! We talk to Derek Guy, @dieworkwear.bsky.social—aka the Menswear Guy—about how dense, walkable cities influence what people wear, what the great fashion capitals of the world have in common, how the housing crisis is affecting style, and much more. thewaroncars.org/2025/01/07/1...

Ah yes, I see it's the time of year when the Philanthropy Industrial Complex (Big P for short) seeds negative stories about Mackenzie Scott because everything about the way she gives money undercuts their entire model... fortune.com/article/mack...

yeah I'm not that excited about Israeli's pushing into Syria or Al Qaida lads potentially taking over Syria. But congrats to you, I guess!

We’re back baby!

Every time we see this, we should repost it. Let's make it the anti-fascist version of the "Tom Holland Lip lip syncing to Umbrella in a corset" video: everyone must reshare every time, and no one gets annoyed.

More than 60 days after the Israeli military operation in the northern Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera Mubasher obtained scenes from Jabalia after the occupation destroyed it and turned it into a ghost town.

83% of plant life in Gaza has been destroyed. Israel's genocide is making Gaza uninhabitable - and our media outlets are complicit by suppressing the truth. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/83-all-pla...

montrealgazette.com/news/local-n... Trudeau didn't commit to pitch for plan on securing border and avoiding Trump's tariffs, Legault says

The occupation army allowed aid into Gaza after replacing sugar with sand, mocking the famine it fabricates against us. Do you see the despair in people's faces? Do you hear their hopelessness?

To be fair she does look like a chicken.

And so the formal ethnic cleansing of Gaza begins ("the first official acknowledgment from Israel it is systematically removing Palestinians from the area"), just as Trump and Netanyahu promised would happen if Trump won.

98-year-old Dick Van Dyke endorses Kamala Harris and reads a speech from 1964 when he shared a stage with MLK: "Hatred is not the norm. Prejudice is not the norm. Suspicion, dislike, jealousy, scapegoating, none of those are the transcendent facets of the human personality. They're diseases!"
