A story in one word: "No"

True words.

“When environments are designed with neurodivergent people in mind — ensuring accessibility, inclusion and safety — it is likely to make those spaces more inclusive and supportive for all.” insightplus.mja.com.au/2025/5/why-w... #neurodiversity #autism

An important point to keep in mind.

Kitty Shall Never Starve

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Trump and his white nationalist allies are busy trying to kill Black History Month from America. And you know, it just don't get any more history of black people in America than that.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Again, imagine if George Soros took control of all our government intel, shared it publicly with … Edward Snowden, I guess? … and they talked about how they were going to take down evangelical mega churches. The right would self combust

This is the proper way of Skiing y'all

in one of the pierce brosnan bond movies the villain is a newspaper guy who wants the world in chaos bc it means more news for him to sell. I remember watching it and being like "this is impossibly dumb" but you know what, I may have been wrong on that

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

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

ah cool, an archive of all CDC data before they tampered with it

cannot be said enough that for a decade a critical number of americans have simply refused to accept that he means what he says

Lutheran Social Services is one of the largest employers in South Dakota, operating senior living facilities across the state. Republicans are shutting it down Perhaps more concerning is Mike Flynn, known foreign asset, having access to this data?

Don’t let anyone tell you this guy is popular or that the country is trending his way. Just isn’t true. Never was.

Which Muppet best reflects how you’re feeling about [gestures at entire world]?

I mean, utterly ridiculous amounts of beauty.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

SCOOP: The email Andrew Kloster, the Office of Personnel Management’s new general counsel and self described "raging misogynist," used to sign up for his X/Twitter account appears in a leak for an escort service website. The IP address for the escort service website account is in Washington D.C.

Incredible things continue to happen on the federal worker subreddit.

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

Hope everyone is doing ok and keeping the existential dread at bay! I’m just focusing on the one thing I can do right, and bringing this tiny armoury to life one pointy fella at a time #swords #miniature #handmade #metalwork

“I coached football long enough to know that, when somebody draws up a playbook, they plan on using it.” @governorwalz.mn.gov We told you. We told you. We told you.

has anyone done a study on the cumulative hours of productivity lost by ADHD people needing to check their phones for two-factor authentication for work stuff. “oh i’ll just check the google authenticator app and— *sees a notification & immediately falls down a digital attention hole*

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.

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.

I’m not a lawyer yet, but my advice as a layperson to any federal employees is this: do not take this deal. There’s no money approved for the severance packages they’re offering and a very good chance you’d be left without either a job or a severance package.

There is a sickness spreading among some who believe themselves to be Christian. The sin of empathy. How do you even put those words together as a Christian?

Excellent post

It’s always a great day to study history. For absolutely no reason at all, here’s the timeline for the rise of Natzi Germany. Read up please, because it’s full of interesting “coincidences” for Trump 2.0 1. It’s starts in 1933, a timeline.⬇️ www.museumoftolerance.com/education/te...
