“DEI hire” is the new “entitlement program”—a phrase that literally means a person deserves what they’re getting, but folks run away from the label because they let the Right turn language inside out.

Quote from @garethgore.bsky.social in the new docuseries How I Left Opus Dei: “These people have no savings to fall back on. They’re not being paid any wages. They’ve made no pension contributions. They have no Social Security contributions. They’ve got no legal protections if they want to leave…”

If the Fuhrer of “efficiency” can bring his snotty-nosed kid into the Oval Office, I say all the moms being required to RTO should tote their little ones along and let them run amok in the office. Where does it say the employee handbook that you can’t?

When you need financial advice the most is often when you can afford it the least. To provide mutual support in these tough times, I'm offering 50% off my regular hourly rate to clients who are currently unemployed or trying to pursue self-employment.

Yup. Constantine was problematic AF. Martin Luther & John Calvin & Henry VIII were problematic AF. The Vatican is problematic AF. My grandparents were and my parents are problematic AF. I chose Norwich to be my last name for many good reasons; I’ve got no reason to make excuses for my ancestors sins

it needs to be said that while democratic elected officials are trying to get into the USAID building which was shut down by musk, CNN and MSNBC are showing the entirety of a trump press conference.

DEI is when a woman or non-white person who is qualified for a job receives that job. The meritocracy is when a 19 year old gets to run the United States government because he posted the dankest memes

WTF, Virginia Senators @kaine.senate.gov and @markwarner.bsky.social?? Stop treating today’s GOP as good faith democratic actors when they demonstrate hundreds of times a day that they are testing the boundaries of how much authoritarianism they can impose on the U.S.

It helps to be one of those Washington valedictorians who was raised by an authoritarian narcissist and still figured out how to survive and rise.

Washington is full of rule-following valedictorians who were inspired by the West Wing and did Model UN and moot court and studied their heroes and who believe in using government to help people. That's nice, but you need to learn how to swing on the illiterate bullies who steal lunch money.

There's no hierarchy in Jesus' words. None. Love God, love your neighbor as yourself. Also, there's the earliest Christians, like Paul: "There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus." NO HIERARCHY.

I just saw video of the crash in DC. To me it looks like the military helicopter went straight for and into the plane. The plane didn't appear to be the one aiming at the helicopter. And my brain is full of questions, including who was on the plane?

Another volatile day for the stock market, another demonstration that share prices are often inversely correlated with the common good. 📉

What will happen to me if the worst comes to pass? If I’m injured, sick, or unlawfully or unjustly detained? If I die? What will happen to my loved ones? Many people are asking themselves these scary questions today. I'm giving a free webinar about your options for self-determination: bit.ly/3E4q61J
