The right response: "Show me the enabling statute. Barring that, any attempts to remove my work materials or credentials will be treated as theft from the Federal government." Then ask for armed citizens to provide security.

It's nice to see that term gain wider usage.

good morning!! i might not be around much this morning because i am venturing out into the world, but before i go: it's #SelfPromotiomSaturday!!! i have a glass shop at nora.jewelry! i sell jewelry, game tokens and cabochons (flat-backed stones). here's some of what's available!

You don’t have to be religious, but prayers and vibes for the Pope are very needed. We do not need the inevitable upheaval of a new pope. Those of you who want to say it can’t get worse- it most certainly and likely will. Expectation is a more conservative pope after Francis dies.

Ive said it before but Ill say it again Gardening is a lot of fun and growing things is nice but also you learn a valuable lesson which is: I would absolutely starve to death if I needed to grow all of my own food

The US and Russia are not going to be allowed to carve up Ukraine. Other nations get a say.

The White Space books are great

Three: and the Governor of Maine did it to his face; in person telling him to pound sand, in front of a lot of people.

It's not easy, but we only lose if we quit. "All of these defections, remember, are coming from a base of less than half of the public to begin with. MAGA is a minority, and the more it carries out its political program, the more it will shrink." www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-a...

The wealthy will be fine with this. They've enough money to weather the storm, and they can buy all manner of things at massive markdowns. Think about how hedge funds bought up foreclosures in '09/'10. So long as the United States is still a country, the truly rich here will survive depressions.

What's the phrase? "Fuck your feelings." You voted for him. You ignored every warning for the last decade. You were OK with him hurting *other* people. You gloated when a real estate developer said he'd deport 20 million people...most of them farm workers. We told you this was coming.

Only if one thinks A: The left hand talks to the right. B: Rubio has 1) any real power, 2) isn't being sent to be all things to all people, so 3: Trump can claim credit no matter what happens. All of those, of course, predicate on his being an honest negotiator, which we will only know if he quits.

It wasn't "debunked" it was fraudulent from the get go. It wasn't a well meaning person saying, "wear copper for your aching joints", it was a cynical attempt to make money with intentional lies.

Great piece by @adamserwer.bsky.social. Reminder that this isn’t the first time the federal workforce has been resegregated: Woodrow Wilson’s 1913 order to impose Jim Crow rolled back almost half a century of progress that saw Black people working at every level of the federal government.

Call to action-Childhood vax/covid boosters (plz boost) RFK has fired ACIP to replace with his antivaxxers; kid vax + covid/flu/RSV boosters are at risk. States can make their own requirements. Use @5calls.org or @resist.bot to call your STATE reps to keep vax access. Script outline below.

the basic belief that underlies these fascists' policies is that they think straight white cis men are actually better than everyone else and that anyone who is not a white cis man doing jobs that they think white cis men should be doing is a drain on the system. because they are white supremacists

When the wrong person (racist assholes) will take what you're doing/saying and run with it as approval, the right thing is to stop. If terrible person thinks what you're doing is good, then you stop doing it. Period. This thread was excellent. Calling people out matters. Speaking up matters.

If you are looking for inspiration how to write great alt text - see the ones @clipart.bsky.social puts for their images.

Community colleges actually give a shit about lifting people up and not just reinforcing the illusion of meritocracy. Of course they're the ones with backbones.

Remember when Trump said that the Down dropping 1k points should result in Presidential resignation? I would pay actual US dollars for someone to play that clip to him live on camera and ask when he's stepping down.

Feels like academia - especially in the humanities - is rapidly being murdered globally.

TRUTH

Fascist freaks eat shit and die mad in the driveway, this house never answers a cop-knock

Looking at you @astro4edu.bsky.social @aas.org @aaas.org

@vespertinelyric.bsky.social Just was looking around for some of the program runners on Lyric FM and hey! Hiya! Greetings from a new follower, a one-time resident (and occasional returnee) of Dublin, now in Belgium.

Can't qwhite figure out why

It’s those sodding bootstraps again.

Wisconsin GOP Rep Glenn Grothman faced a hostile townhall today too in Oshkosh. It’s spreading and turning into a pattern
