the thing is that writing down what you did during a work week is actually helpful, especially when it comes to remembering everything you do at eval time just not, you know, emailing it to a dipshit who’s going to run it through Grok and have it fire you for woke bullet points

Why do so few people comprehend that you don't need to trust, respect, or even agree with other adults to stop trying to interfere in their lives or overrule their decisions? You simply have to recognize that their personal lives are NONE OF YOUR GODDAMNED BUSINESS.

Our new government, led by Republicans, wants to run your private life and have control over how you raise your kids. Republicans now want government in your bedroom, home, doctor’s offices, libraries and schools. They know what’s best for you. 🤦‍♂️

In college I had a history prof walk into class slam a potato down & say "this is the most important entity here. There is not one person on this campus or even in this city whose significance to human history will prove to be anywhere close to that of a potato" & ykw gotta admit he was 100% right

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

A full third of federal government employees are veterans. Elon and co think fed employees are a bunch of granola eating liberals but they're sorely mistaken. Rendering hundreds of thousands of veterans unemployed with cuts to their VA healthcare and no job prospects is a recipe for an insurgency.

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be legislators right now. We need them to be politicians. There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

Just as I was praising the American Bar Association (ABA), they went all milkshake duck, lol. Anyway, the National Bar Association (NBA) was founded 100 years ago when the ABA wouldn’t let Black lawyers join. NBA’s centennial conference will be held in Chicago July 26-Aug 1. #BlackSky #BlackLawSky

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Guarding a concentration camp isn't the kind of thing most people want to sign up for. Along with a racist effort to purge officers who aren’t white, military recruiting is going to tank and the ensuing national security crisis will be entirely self-inflicted www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Yes. I’ve persuaded my church to set up a weekly “open house” for drop-in solidarity, no agenda, just to chat. (A very easy task, to be clear; it’s a progressive congregation.) Actions grow from community.
