We r f'd! " the latest step in the White House's unprecedented move to push career federal workers out of their jobs, and, observers say, replace them with loyalists — a return to a patronage system that federal law sought to banish more than a century ago." www.axios.com/2025/01/28/t...

Luckily we've got a real A Team heading in to this part of the U.S. government right now... 😬 www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/h...

There is no more important story that needs your attention than the fact that the GOP is trying to steal a North Carolina Supreme Court seat. Please watch, share, and take action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzh1...

Fun while it lasted 😓

I would love to see a bunch of musical artists and celebrities put on a nationally televised tribute concert for Pres. Jimmy Carter on inauguration day with all proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.

Black folks know this, but I need everyone else to understand it too. The term ‘woke’ started in the Black community. It was about being informed, educated, conscious of social injustice & racial inequality. Now, hyjacked by the right & weaponized against us. That’s why I’ve left the word behind. 🧵

THIS is how it’s done, folks.

Who here agrees?

She was there before Elvis, Little Richard or Johnny Cash swiveled their hips and strummed their guitars. If you've never heard Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of rock 'n' roll, you should.

Land doesn’t vote. Stop pretending it does.

1. In April 2024, California raised the minimum wage for fast food chains to $20/hour The industry claimed it would be devastating & require significant job cuts and prices increases Here is what really happened: workers got a raise, prices went modestly, and the industry continued to add jobs

Standard predatory American Businessman Serial CEOs swoop in, eliminate a bunch of divisions, layoff a couple thousand workers, pump the stock prices, and cash out with a huge bonus. Then they do it again somewhere else. And again. And Again. It's not about the company, it's about that bonus.

I think the wrong questions r being asked about the proposed tariffs. The real question Is how little will he accept from Mexico , Canada and China in order to be able to say the threat of tariffs worked ?

Funny because true.

@unusualwhales.bsky.social is a great account to follow for real time info on a wide variety of topics.

Me and Bubba (Morris) running some errands on a brisk Sunday ❤️. He looks thrilled 😂 #adoptdontshop

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

A lot of truth here👇 lefsetz.com/wordpress/

This is what I’ve been talking about, trying to be thoughtful about when to be outraged. It’s going to be a very long and very dark four years. Sometimes letting republicans fight with each other is going to be the only way. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/22/u...

Despite my general malaise about my country right now, I am very impressed by this 8th grade student of mine! #doinggood #volunteerism #givingback
