Those kids at the Mets game today gonna have no voice tomorrow

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

📣 CDC 601/602/101 Petition to Unionize 📣 ⚪️ Who? Non-supervisory 601, 602, and 101 series CDC employees ⚪️ What? People in this job series to have the option to join the union (AFGE Local 2883: www.afge2883ga.org) ⚪️ Why? Benefits of joining AFGE: www.afge.org/globalassets...

If my brain functioned properly *naturally*, I wouldn’t need the medication. Like, hello Captain obvious???

How very efficient 🙄

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

If my anti anxiety meds were addictive, I wouldn’t have had to train my dog that she gets a treat when I take them to make sure she nags me every night until I do. Just saying

Seconded. I was *wildly* exposed to the flu this year between my niece, nephew, and my students and I did not get it

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Class Dojo and @duolingoverde.bsky.social ‘s videos have me high key convinced that as a society we have just decided nothing flipping matters anymore so let’s just go all in on the wildest ideas we’ve ever had

Kids always say my favorite things

ALERT Those unfamiliar with the SAVE ACT, it requires Americans to present a birth certificate or passport THAT MATCHES THEIR LEGAL NAME when they register to vote. The majority of American women change their names when they marry. Their legal names do not match the name on their birth certificate.

What will Starbucks pay for? 🤔 ✅~$8 million Super Bowl commercial ✅$800k a day for CEO Brian Niccol ✅Private jet for their CEO to commute from CA to Seattle ✅Advertising on X & Meta ❌Barista raises that match inflation/cost of living ❌Staffing stores properly ❌Accessible healthcare for partners

My little Eagles fans were so happy this morning. Also, they love when I do the Eagles chant. “E A G L E S Eagles!” 🦅

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???

thank you to Kendrick and the Eagles for making terrible people angry tonight

I am so ready for this

Wow. Such efficient. Very government.

Just me with my silly jokes: I can’t fit in a sleeve, silly. 🙃

That is *my* money. The government has just been holding it for me.

The concept of ICE is basically government funded kidnapping. Like saying you work for ICE is like saying “Yeah, I work at the kidnap squad”

@95sports.bsky.social Today my class overwhelmingly said “Go Birds 🦅 “

Guys, if he takes my job away please know it’s because he wants us all to be too stupid to understand what he’s doing and also I STG I will make some rich a-hole pay me through the nose to teach their kids

I’m currently in the “trust the process” phase of crocheting this scarf

Just a reminder (because I remembered myself today) that there is an app called 5 calls that will give you everything you need in order to call your representatives (including a script)!

If you're protesting tomorrow: "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present." MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

Forced Resignations Are Illegal – 5 CFR § 715.202 states that federal resignations must be voluntary. An email implying "uncertainty of your position" while pushing resignation deadlines could be considered coercion.

Today is Retraction Day, when we observe the anniversary of the retraction (Feb. 2, 2010) of the fraudulent paper that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. 🧪#medsky

I spent so much ink on Gitmo in my book about concentration camps because it was clear that by failing to eliminate detention there, this is where we've been headed for decades. What the US has already done is horrific, and in an unconstitutional no-man's-land, we face the possibility of much worse.

I’m losing yarn chicken on the edging of this blanket and I’ll have to wind another ball wahhhhhhh

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.

A big misconception about Greenland is that since it’s labeled a Danish colony, its residents are just a bunch of white dudes named Kristian—which is extremely harmful and inaccurate. The population is 85% Indigenous! It belongs to the Kalaallit people, not to Denmark and CERTAINLY not to the U.S.

I’m sure it already has happened but has someone taken the sound of music gif and changed the flag to the mango one?

Unions make our Social Security system strong.

My cousin started with me the other day on one of the bad places. I left it on read. As if he knew more about the topic of developmental disabilities than the person with a masters degree and 3 teaching certificates.

I’m not complaining but I’m also not sure how I get mushroom content

If it really was a “mandate,” then why is no one watching?

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

I am pretty firmly “she/her,” but tempted to change my pronouns fairly regularly just as a form of (I don’t know if it would be annoyance or protest. Basically to be a PITA)
