Constituent services. Make use of it. Something wrong and (often even tenuously) government related? Call/write your congressperson.

I have had to tell a recruiter "I will never work on anything intended for killing people" before. And the euphemisms used by military contractor recruiting remain very disturbing. What did you think "significant business growth" meant, recruiter?

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

Because lots of people seem confused about this, there are a ton of non-ableist words you can use to describe what’s going on and who’s in charge. I happen to like the profane ones, but there are more. Willful ignorance! Ludicrous! Ridiculous! Patently wrong! Evil! Harmful! Dangerous! Foolish!

I have zero patience for “do climate work but just don’t call it that”. I am not talking in code about an existential threat bc a handful of Americans like profiting off oil and gas & have managed to brainwashed another handful of Americans. Don’t capitulate. They’ll take your funding anyway.

This is what its like to work in the Trump administration now. When a career official objected to declaring that living immigrants were dead on legal and ethical grounds, security guards went to his office and told him to leave. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

we need to keep a close eye on the legal battle between maine and the trump administration. the battle is purportedly about trans athletes, but is really about federal vs blue state power. if maine can beat trump on trans athletes, any blue state can beat him on any issue.

Covid remains a consistent threat to health, along with the other stuff having a heyday out there like Flu B, measles, and tuberculosis (FFS). Mask up, wash hands, keep some distance, and save a life. Might be yours, as they say.
