If there's one thing to call about for the next several days, it's this: early next week the house will be voting on a budget resolution that decimates Medicaid. This is an immediate life-and-death issue for so many, and the GOP House majority is razor-thin. Call early and often. And pass it on.

It's quick and easy to get through to your Congressperson's office, let's give them the numbers that will either bolster their resolve (Dems) or worry them enough to at least think about what they are doing (GOP).

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

So much upsetting stuff in here. So much. But I'm not one bit surprised that a chance to dismantle disability rights by attacking trans rights is seen by the Republican AGs as a golden opportunity. If anyone in your life needs to understand why solidarity is essential, start here.

In most cases, your employer cannot compel you to take a polygraph and, if they do, cannot use the results as the basis for adverse action. So, like Parks says, get some professional advice. Bc the best thing for you is never to take it at all, if that’s an option. LEAs are a little different.

504 plans are how kids can carry EpiPens or make sure their classroom is peanut free. It’s how kids with diabetes can use insulin. It’s how kids with mobility issues can have more passing time or use an elevator. An attack on 504 is an attack on everyone. Listen to @lollardfish.bsky.social.

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

"The order will lead to 25,000 minors losing the legal representation they now have, as well as about 100,000 missing out on programs designed to educate them about their rights." They've stripped legal rep from immigrant children via a stop-work order to @acaciajustice.bsky.social. Call your reps.

First page of the termination letter sent to probational staff. “performance has not been adequate” regardless of actual performance. Probationary doesn’t just mean new people. It’s also people who have been there for years but promoted to a new supervisory position within the past 12 months.

One of the main ways that "gen AI" bullshit and the bullshitters attendant thereto have fucked everything for everyone is that they fully succeeded in their attempts to obfuscate and occult what "AI" means, so now people hate the very concept structure of the term, even down to its far less bad uses

You cannot be a good journalist without knowing History. Different beats absolutely require different kinds and depths of history. And you can acquire that knowledge of history without studying it in college, because books. But you can’t do journalism without history.

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.
