I owe the television part of my career to @joyannreid.bsky.social, as do so many other Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her. And that's why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.

Don't lose this in all the noise. Trump abandoned Americans in hostile areas for no other reason than doing their jobs. Now they have 30 days to move countries and find new homes, jobs, schools. Go to @altusaid.bsky.social and read the stories. Then call your reps. This betrayal cannot be tolerated

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

Last year, as a special Christmas gift for my theater kid (and, well, me), I became a @kennedycenter.bsky.social subscriber. Theater has been our shared comfort, whether it’s local school productions or national tours, something we could enjoy in spite of waves at everything Now this.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

!!! Judge Abelson “agreed with the plaintiffs that the executive orders discourage businesses, organizations and public entities from openly supporting diversity, equity and inclusion. ‘The harm arises from the issuance of it as a public, vague, threatening executive order,’ he said ...’”

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

Are federal workers lazy? Nope, says @andrewvandam.bsky.social — certainty not compared to private-sector peers. (I think we’re all about to find out the hard way how much federal workers actually do, now that thousands are no longer allowed to do it.) www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

As a diner, I don’t want waitstaff on commission and feeling pressured to upsell me if all I want is a snack and a cup of coffee. But I guess tipping encourages upselling as well (bigger check = bigger tips). I’d rather they just get paid a decent wage. www.washingtonpost.com/food/2025/02...

I want a leader who runs the government like a business. Specifically like the worst family-owned business imaginable. A pet store where the tropical fish have all somehow contracted gonorrhea. A failing adult bookstore run by two feuding brothers who keep trying to blow up each others' cars.

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked. Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care. And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care! AMAZING

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

"DEI" is the new "communism" under McCarthy: a baseless, randomly applied label allowing the government to target and eliminate anyone. Internal documents obtained by the Post show DOGE has long had a detailed plan in place for this. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
