Everyone should just copy/paste their job description into their response. He should be embarrassed micromanaging adults like this

NEW: With President Trump and other Republicans saying that the federal government should take over or abolish the D.C. government, I decided to dive deep into what that might look like — and what D.C. history tells us of when the federal government actually ran the city. 51st.news/district-of-...

We will defend the rule of law, DC Home Rule, and the right to govern ourselves.

These are the kinds of stories about the human costs of the Trump-Musk coup that desperately need telling right now. Local news outlets and independent journalists can do a lot of important work here, for their own communities but also for the national effort to push back against this insanity.

Also encourage people to email LC to oppose this proposed revision, which was announced a few hours ago (with comments deadline of today 😡). Your email can be short (1-3 sentences) and can focus on impact to your patrons. #critcat #LCSH #cataloging 📚

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Good morning to all fed government employees. We know you’re really going through it so we’re giving all of you 10% off this Saturday. Figure you could use a small break.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

If Ocean's Calling and All Things Go festivals are on the same weekend we riot

The wonderful Mike Luckovich

I love this. This should be the symbol of the new rebel coalition.

Next up databases (lexis etc) then the books, and libraries will be under attack.

Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?

I'm assuming federal agency libraries (and libraries in general) are the next target. I hate this

Everyone concerned about data loss right now should learn about the End of Term Web Archive, which I believe has been working on preserving federal websites for the past 8 months. The dataset you fear has been lost may well be here Just an incredible project. Thank you to everyone involved

At least 11 librarians in LA lost their homes in the LA Fires. A thread of their gofundmes:

Usually make a pumpkin cheesecake with gingersnap crust, but this year used home grown honeynut squash!

Broke my right wrist (my dominant hand) over the weekend and it sounds dumb but I never thought about how much the wrist is needed: opening pill bottles, brushing my teeth, using a fork and knife, zipping up, zippers, picking up dog poop, turning my keys in the door... all challenges now.

Are you a motorsports fan who just joined Bluesky? Here are links below to Feeds I created where you can find all of your motorsports series, teams, drivers & friends! Any posts mentioning said things will appear in each Feed! Just make sure to "Like" and "Pin" each Feed! IMSA:

Over here 👀 for familiar DC faces. Thanks to those who have already created #DCStarterPacks - super helpful! Any others to add? 🧵🧵🧵

The Diplomat is so damn good, season 2 is even better than the first. It wasn't even just the finale (which WOW), the whole season had tension, humor, and was so fun to watch

Since moving here from the hellscape that is X, my feed is somehow now full of posts about how awesome libraries are and I am HERE FOR IT! Support your local libraries, they provide a warm space safe for everyone and the free gift of knowledge!

F1 for sure! Occasionally I'll watch NASCAR or IMSA but usually only the big races

The 500 was a lot more entertaining than I expected

About a year!

The closest track to DC is Richmond. But closest indycar track idk, not many east coast tracks! Nashville?

I'm still a newish fan so still learning, but Leguna Seca looks like it would be fun to drive

I was an F1 first and my online mutuals were talking about races so I just started watching,

Hinch because I love his commentary in his post racing career

Pato! Seems like he has a fun /genuine personality and I'm rooting for him to get that Indy500 win next year
