A little nippy this morning. Be careful out there today, whether working the oil field, moving grain, or taking care of livestock.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

I'm hearing now that *every* technologist CFPB hired to investigate Big Tech was fired this evening. That's somewhere between 70-100 people. wired.com/story/dozens-of-cfpb-workers-terminated-in-after-hours-firing-blitz/

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

The idea of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social’s next book is so simple and beautiful. She is so good. Just preordered. “The Last American Road Trip is one mother’s promise to her children that their country will be there for them in the future –- even though at times she struggles to believe it herself.”

@rissamadelyn.bsky.social good to see you here. You close your fb?

@rissamadelyn.bsky.social hi!!

hey question, is this bad?

CDC data’s “explicit purpose” is to guide researchers toward the places and people who most need attention, Patrick Sullivan, a former CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service officer, said. “It’s hard to understand how this benefits health.” www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Two people dead in the tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas, yet we’ve spent all week listening to RFK Jr lie, deflect and make a mockery out of public health. The CDC are prohibited from sharing updates. We deserve better. Wear a mask. Ideally an N95 or better. Hand out extras. Give to mask blocs

🚨BREAKING: New York appellate court UPHOLDS John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act of New York. This reverses a lower court decision in a case from Newburgh, NY. This is a big victory for the minority voters who brought suit and voting rights in the Empire State. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-yo...

Most Americans are going to get a gigantic wake-up call about how many services they actually receive from the federal government, which depend on a fully functioning workforce that doesn't have to spend its days worrying that a bunch of malevolent assholes are going to fire them.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Reporters: Please stop calling things DEI that are not DEI. This is only cementing the propaganda being used to legitimize the dismantling of all types of initiatives that are not DEI as well as legitimize efforts to end civil rights enforcement. Be specific with your language. Be accurate.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

The chaos is meant to distract us from the real dangers.
