During a GOP town hall at Coeur d'Alene High School, Teresa Borrenpohl called out, “Is this a lecture or a town hall?” Witnesses said three unidentified men, who were not wearing badges or ID, then physically removed from her seat by order of the Idaho county sheriff.

Having co-taught DEI workshops (improv), most workplace DEI boils down to "Have some empathy, and don't be a dick." When people get upset at DEI it tells me they are can't change, won't listen & adapt, and are bad at teamwork - which I'm lead to believe are important skills for the workplace.

If Joe Biden said this, the entire Republican Party would be yelling about Munich/1938/appeasement, & it would prompt nonstop front page headlines about whether he was mentally unfit to be president.

So when you're fired, if you want to keep your same insurance you can get COBRA. This is what COBRA will cost for me if I choose to do it. The bottom numbers. Every month.

Section 504 prohibits discrimination against disabled people & guarantees equal access to anything (services, programs, buildings, etc.) that receives federal funding. It paved the way for the ADA. The sit-in that got it passed is an extraordinary moment in US history. I am incandescent with rage.

I really don’t think it’s happenstance that pretty much every remaining institutional safeguard broke down within 15 years of Citizens United

Not one single person in America voted for this fucking South African weasel. Not one. He is not an elected official. All government employees should ignore him. Don’t comply in advance like Whitaker. Make Elmo use official government channels instead. www.thedailybeast.com/faa-chief-mi...

If you’re a straight, cis person who has ever posted some version of a rainbow with “you’re safe with me” or similar, it’s time to back up the words with action— contact your reps and ask them what they’re going to do to protect trans people from this administration, particularly trans kids.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Instagram and Facebook have recently blurred, blocked or removed posts from two abortion pill providers. Instagram also suspended the accounts of several abortion pill providers and hid the providers from appearing in search and recommendations. nyti.ms/4h3PF1x

Watched the first episode of the Mr Beast show last week and learned it’s possible for a piece of media to make me feel simultaneously dirty-on-the-inside and incredibly bored.

it's just so insulting how stupid they think we are. they're so desperate to blame the most vulnerable for crises created by the most powerful, they so badly want a culture war to stave off any consciousness of how oil execs/billionaires/defunding everything for police are killing us all

If you’re the kind of person who easily forgets what you’ve accomplished, you need a practice for reminding yourself. Count the years, the finished projects, the progress, the praise, count it all up and use it as evidence against the ever present criticism in your head that you’re not doing enough.
