I used to represent Chapter 282 over 20 years ago. At the time it was FDA HQ. Now, I think it also includes the district offices in nearby cities.

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

The Administrative Procedures Act doesn't exist because as Trump said, "we are federal law."

There are employees who work a 4x10 schedule with regular days off (RDO) Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and others with Sunday, Monday, Tuesday who will not get this email or have the opportunity to respond during working hours. There are others who do not access .gov email b/c they don't use computers.

If one person gives a Nazi salute, they’re a Nazi. If multiple people give a Nazi salute, you’re at a Nazi rally.

Can confirm

TBH this is probably why there are so many immigrants and asylum seekers.

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

ABA membership is completely voluntary. I've canceled my membership and encourage folks to do the same.

My Two Dads same premise, but weirder b/c they were rivals for mother and one was the dad, but they never found out.

Things can be more than one thing at a time. It's also a kleptocracy and plutocracy.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Firing the senior JAGs is the same as firing the Inspectors General. They don't want anyone investigating illegal actions in civilian agencies or the military. They especially don't want someone independently prosecuting based on law and the constitution.

Jeru saw through Puffy all the way back in the mid-90s. One Day is an amazing diss track about how fake Puffy has always been. This video is pretty awesome b/c he raps the song live and explains it. And, his speaking style & his flow are both broken up the same. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYZH...

I want to see him race Enrique Bradfield.

Judge Dredd, but with the royal "we."

Maybe he'll hire me and pay off my gambling debts if I praise him publicly as a genius. Please hire me.

Happy Friday

It's not the sexual assault they are concerned with. It's that he groped a man and not a woman.

What’s happening is a generational wound

Because the Orioles don't need starter depth or a lefty.

I think we now know who will be cast as the next Bond and Bond girl.

Oh yes, Homer’s famous “Tes Thdpssssps.” 👍🏻

incredible exchange, @marisakabas.bsky.social

This is why I insist on spelling out as "diversity, equity and inclusion"—instead of DEI being used as some scary, ambiguous acronym the way "CRT" was used. People aren't as easily scared when they hear the actual words it stands for.

This is the most brutal post on the AF1 news. Spend a moment with how deeply insulting it is. I am in awe, and some amount of empathetic pain on Trump's behalf. 😶

Boeing has had some problems when they rush things, but it's possible some people don't read or watch the news.
