I'm part of ISAIAH, a #minnesota organization dedicated to a multi-racial, multi-faith organization building a Minnesota that works for all us. This year, we are part of the #yestohomes coalition trying to pass legislation at the state level - b/c we need more homes, more affordable homes […]

So, the deal #putin is offering is essentially "stop giving #Ukraine weapons and we'll promise to focus on bombing schools, hospitals and residential buildings instead of energy infrastructure" What a joke. #EUpol

Russia Breaks cease fire agreement with Trump mere hours later... Russia launches one of the largest suicide drone attacks against Ukraine of the war. They hit energy infrastructure in Sloviansk, causing a near total blackout in the city #AureFreePress #News […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

#minneapolis what are we doing here

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money. He was not dead.

Happy Kill Caesar Day to all that celebrate!!!🎉🎊🥳

Oliver Schoff.

From Illinois Governor Pritzker’s chief of staff, an excellent observation.

President Reagan and his administration did nothing to fight HIV/AIDS because it was "killing all the right people", including so many people I loved, and they practically rooted for the virus. I don't ever want to hear any Democrat praise Ronald Reagan in a speech again.

>20 #CivilService employees resigned from billionaire #Trump adviser #ElonMusk’s DOGE, saying they would not use their technical expertise to “dismantle critical public services.” “We swore to serve the American people & uphold our oath to the #Constitution across presidential administrations […]

If POTUS won’t allow the phrase “climate change” to be used, can scientists just switch to “Trump hotness”. Like, everyone would know that has to mean something else.

This article from @TheConversationUS is so good. So much to learn from history. Transgender and intersex people have always existed. https://theconversation.com/trans-people-affirmed-their-gender-without-medical-help-in-medieval-europe-history-shows-how-identity-transcends-medicine-and-law-248559

Please share this fact sheet on Ukraine with anyone who needs it understandingwar.org/backgrounder...

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

DHH going full mask off racist is a good time for a reminder that him and his wee pal wrote all that organisational management 💩thought leadership💩 based on running a company with *a few dozen employees* and is basically the manager of your local supermarket posting on facebook about how you […]

Remember, there’s infrastructure, and then there’s Dutch infrastructure.

The danger of politicizing the National Archives—with a far-right journalist potentially in charge—cannot be overstated. It's not just about Trump seeking revenge. It's also an attempt to manipulate the country's historical records in order to censor, erase, and rewrite history itself.

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

Since #elonmusk is gonna lie about #USAID tonight in a Super Bowl ad - here is my counter promotion https://player.vimeo.com/video/1052680025

Diversity, equity, and inclusion policies are how you make sure you are hiring the best. That’s it. That’s the post. #SupportDEI

Drop what you are doing and read this incredible story from Wired, if you can. After that, come back here. https://www.wired.com/story/edward-coristine-tesla-sexy-path-networks-doge/ It mentions that a 19 y/o man who's assisting Musk's team and who has […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Happy #blackhistorymonth , #startrek nerds.

#Breaking Greenland’s parliament the Inatsisartut today passed a new law making it illegal for foreign entities to donate to political parties or politicians in Greenland. The law was passed with 22 to 0 votes. That’s how much the people of Greenland want a hostile takeover from Trump and his […]

Pick one: 1. Elon is a private citizen, who must not have access to government records accessible only to government personnel. - or - 2. Elon is a government employee, and must divest from any organization involved in government contracts. #elonMusk #corruption #coup

I feel like #ElonMusk doesn’t realize he’s being #MichaelCohen ‘d right now. “So one of us is going to jail for this, and it isn’t me” (said in Trump voice)

I wrote more than outraged social media posts this weekend. Here's a post that just went up at Techdirt: "Musk’s Takeover Of The Government’s Computer Systems Needs To Be Understood As A Cyberattack, Or Worse" […]

‼️Indivisible has released a toolkit for mass action across the country this week, to get Senators to impede and oppose Russell Vought’s confirmation for Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Please participate in the action and share this link widely […]

The #punk in me wants to make sure that whenever I speak at a conference I freaking proudly share my #pronouns DEI is PAF

Who Can Stop Elon’s ‘Team’ Wilding Its Way Through the Federal Government? - TPM – Talking Points Memo https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/who-can-stop-elons-team-wilding-its-way-throuhg-the-federal-government

So based on the EO that changes the US Digital Service to US DOGE Service, #ElonMusk and friends - who are not federal employees (correct?) - have locked out employees of systems at OPM, GSA, and Treasury. This feels like a ransomware attack - you’ll get your systems back when the US buys a […]

Advice from someone who cares/thinks a lot about effective messaging? Don't use the acronym. Say the words "diversity, equity, and inclusion." Slowly and with emphasis. Every time. Don't let them hide their opposition to these basic, common sense, and popular ideas behind an acronym.

The government took down ReproductiveRights.gov, so I got the last snapshot from the Internet Archive and gave it a new home on the web. I still have some content for individual states to add. https://reproductiverights.health/ #politics #abortion #AbortionRights #trump

Please don't incrrdulously share this 'all embryos are default female' stuff. Like so much in bio, it's really not that simple. Both sex development paths in the foetus are active, requiring gene expressions that add and remove physical features. Female is not default […]

I think we can break people who do bad things into two categories: those who could be fixed by three ghosts visiting them in the night with a lesson to impart and those who can't "can't even be fixed by three ghosts" is the strongest assessment of moral failure yet identified
