WTF

Do you have access to all of your performance evaluations and observations - and any certifications- on your personal device/ personal drive? Make sure things are backed up - regardless of where you work.

Support Senate Bill 5382, and protect our initiative process against the corruption of big money-fueled signature fraud. SB 5382 will make Washington’s initiative process more secure and trustworthy by requiring that petition signers must be registered voters.

There are multiple protests in Bellingham on Monday. Remember to stay on sidewalks and keep it peaceful. Here's more info on 50501. www.newsweek.com/50501-moveme...

Follow the money

"The men appear to have barricaded the entrance to the bank, spray painted the security cameras, and ordered the employees to lie on the floor. We're watching now to see if they do anything wrong."

Elon Musk believes any delays to his plans could be costly www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

A dusting of snow lured Juniper and Fern out of their cozy den. Lazy snow days and den fur forever 🐻❄️🐻

🚨BREAKING: Alliance for Retired Americans and two labor unions file lawsuit against Treasury Dept. to block disclosure of personal and financial information to Musk and DOGE. Follow @democracydocket.com for details on this and every pro-democracy lawsuit. www.democracydocket.com

The thousands of people who participated in the Civil Rights Movement – from Fannie Lou Hammer to the Black residents who boycotted segregated buses – knew barriers. They knew injustice. They faced those circumstances & continued to fight discrimination & oppression head on. That is our task today.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

There's such a tone of sadness to the CBC reporting right now. Adrienne Arsenault says, “I feel like the whole country, all of us, are getting both a history lesson and a politics lesson and an economics lesson and a lesson in heartache.”

What the right wing REALLY means:

"Two of those sources said also they wanted access to classified information."

Dr. Hotez nails it!!! In addition to his list, my worry is for the next generation of scientists who are in training now. We are going to be fucked for so long just because folks could not bring themselves to vote for the black lady 😡

Where the hell was this before the election

One more sign of impending fascism and dictatorship.

Donald Trump is perfectly poised to cash in on his presidency, Constitution be damned. Here are the five key areas where the president is likely in violation of the Constitution’s emoluments clauses.

We should be banning NDAs not books. Until we greatly limit the use of NDAs, powerful people will continue to use them as a weapon of silence -- leveraging their power to cover up wrongdoing. Protecting trade secrets is one thing, covering up bad behavior is another #WomeinSTEM #WomeninTech

Drivers heading to and from Seattle will see delays beginning next month, as the Washington State DOT begins construction of new culverts on both lanes of I-5 between Arlington and Stanwood in Snohomish County.

The Trump administration has required that all communications and social media posts from federal agencies undergo prior approval before being shared. This directive is currently in effect until the end of the month.

Elon doing the salute

The constitution forbids leveraging public office to make money because doing so degrades public trust in the office, opens you being manipulated by foreign actors who understand your motives, and it fundamentally violates the very idea of government as an entity of service to others.

Trump ignores transition rules. It’s a ‘hostile takeover,’ ally says. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This. This is the whole game.

If House Republicans really wanted to protect women, they'd release the Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz' alleged sex trafficking - not try to ban their colleagues from using the bathroom. Stop the bigotry and release the report.

NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next. I urge you to read my 20 lessons in How to Survive the Broligarchy, inspired by & featuring the great @timothysnyder.bsky.social 1/ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
