Awesome song, and it gives off serious Flogging Molly vibes (making it even better).

"Public official?" "Appointed representative?" So, Musk is an appointed representative/public official now? What happened to their sworn testimony that he wasn't?

Espanol: El lado izquierdo es una orden judicial, con la cual los funcionarios pueden realizar búsquedas de manera legal.
El lado derecho es una orden administrativa, que es la que normalmente utiliza la migra. Esto no es suficiente para realizar una búsqueda.

That poor child. I keep my 10 year old daughter off social media for this very reason. I hope she can find peace now, and my heart goes out to her family. ❤️

McConnell was either complicit in or directly responsible for the entirety of our current political state. He doesn't get to rewrite his political legacy now. #stilltrash

A prerequisite of intellectual diversity in content is that the content be intellectual. Hate-mongering and anti-science discourse are often barely coherent and provide no intellectual contribution. I refuse to accept the responsibility to meet them half way between intellectual and insane.

Ooooooh! I bet that's so cozy for the sleepless nights in Kiev. Can they use it in Gaza to cover up the holes in their homes (before Netanyahu clears the strip for strip malls)? I can practically feel my concern for the dissolution of our government melting away!

Having expertly destroyed even the meaning behind 1984, the MAGA right fully embraces doublespeak... where "Political Loyalty" is "Merit", where "Ineptness" is "Excellence", and where "Ignorance" is "Intelligence."

@aoc.bsky.social please run. Please make this happen.

I'm still stuck on the Ukraine being responsible for being invaded by Russia. 😂 Is he fucking serious?!? Was the Ukraine dressed provocatively? Showing too much ankle and Russia couldn't control itself? Did the Crimean peninsula lead Russia on, you f**king 🍊🤡?

Speaking as an 🇺🇸 and Michigander, 🇨🇦 has no need to explain. Most of us get it and we're using the (admittedly limited) tools we have to resist as well.
Please resist this BS and know that we look forward to some semblance of normalcy after 🍊🤡 and Elon are gone.

Seems like an opportunity to branch out and reach a whole new demographic!
Lesbian porn isn't really my thing, but I am interested in how a world building/metaphysics angle would intermingle. 🤔 On balance, I'd read it.

Truly sad, and I wish I could describe this as "just politics."

We NEED this. Clearly, US Voters have a short memory and a year from now, we're gonna need a clear reminder of what happened. Thank you, Rep. Kenyatta!

Let me be clear: Being an MD means very little for most biomedical research, and he's showing his ignorance in this response.
Without NIH funding for biomedical research, academic biomedical research stops. Without academic research, medicine stops.

As a white dude raised in apartheid South Africa, he's clearly aware of how familial wealth and unearned privilege works. However, the US court system seems to still be a blind spot.

Kudos for this judge. However, Trump and Vance have stated that they don't believe that the ruling of federal judges applies to the executive branch. Congress is AWOL.
As federal judges cannot impeach, I'm truly concerned about the point at which they start ignoring those court orders directly.

Mr. Miller needs to read Article III, section 2 of the US Const., "The judicial Power"as vested in the SCOTUS and lower courts "shall extend to all Cases... arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States" and "to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party"

I read Atlas Shrugged once and I could swear I asked that particular Burger King to clean the bathroom stalls more often.

I was both (1) ready to believe this was real and (2) watch at least 30 mins of it. Sen. Sanders, this is a missed opportunity.

Fun fact: Before we started giving the vast majority of our country's wealth to billionaires, we had enough to do both.

...And they would be correct to do so, because even the idea is completely insane. The only problem is that they aren't saying it right now, as well.

For right now, yes. Anyone in management, such as SPEs, just got screwed though. Training is gonna take a huge hit and SPEs are like 90% of our support in the examining core. Further, OPM has just asserted that the CBA is illegal, so we'll have to see if the average examiner is actually protected.

I wish I could say that I immediately recognized this as satire.

We just received an email, as of 40 minutes ago, calling for immediate return to office, in a rolling fashion based on office space availability. The only people excluded are people covered by the CBA. All other remote work was just officially cancelled...

Sorry but no. The Republican party is now a Trump cult. They are not concerned because they are so incredibly uninformed and only "know" what he tells them.
It's fucking insane, we know what he's doing to Canada and Mexico is bullshit, and we feel helpless to stop it. We're sorry 😔

I gotta admit. I wish he was golfing more, because he breaks less when he's not in the office.

I didn't realize I was so lazy!
I suppose they have a point though. I could have started work at 4 am, rather than 5. I could leave after 6 pm rather than after 5. And having a cup of coffee before work is basically theft!
The last 10 days have been a long year...

A: Absolutely! We encourage you to find a job in the private sector as soon as you would like to do so. The way to greater American prosperity is encouraging people to move from lower productivity jobs in the public sector to higher productivity jobs in the private sector."
Wow...

Unfortunately, the answer is "In 2 years." The right will never have the spine to hold Trump accountable for his crimes.

As a federal worker, thank you for saying what we can't. (Also, here me hoping out loud that you're my next boss)

Before 21 Jan 2025, I loved working as an examiner. Right now, it's scary.
As of now, non-management examiners appear to be covered by the CBA and the Friday email indicates that "this memorandum does not supersede existing collective bargaining agreements."
That said, who knows how this goes?

Municipal fiber is awesome, but they can't protect you from interactions in the middle mile infrastructure. Most of that was paid for by the people and is owned by the big ISPs. Best to have both.

I don't feed trolls, but I do block them and put them on public display. Belittling the mentally handicapped while sporting a white supremacist handle is not the evidence of faith he thinks it is.

Did he really say that Americans LIKE private insurance?!? The entire US reaction to Brian Thompson would like to disagree.

It strikes me more as political convenience and a destructive manipulation of Christian faith. "Interesting" is a valid description, apparently selected from many less euphemistic ways to describe it.

When patent examiners enter the hoteling program (permanent remote work at the USPTO) their "official duty station" is designated as their alternative work site. Many of them don't have a local office "duty station" to return to and the office doesn't have space for them if they did.

Unity and pro-life action?!? So the "f**k your feelings" crowd wants a kumbaya moment... How convenient.
What exactly would we unify on? Cryptocurrency? Worship of a political figure who is the antithesis of Jesus' teachings? What exactly is pro-life about profits above human life/dignity/habitat?
