"The dozens of public employees whose information was collected in “dossiers” on the DEI watchlist site are overwhelmingly people of color. Of 44 profiles listed under agencies at the time of reporting, 29 were people of color, and 20 were women of color alone. Just five were white men."

There is no way for Mexico or Canada to avoid tariffs. The only policy reason for the tariffs is to pay for trump’s tax cuts to the rich. He doesn’t care if Americans ultimately have to pay for them.

Ethnic cleansing. So on brand.

It is *very* important to understand that Jews were never the only target of the 1930s Nazis and they are not the only targets of today’s Nazis. A Nazi salute is not only antisemitic. It is also racist, ableist, and queerphobic.

The fact that on an emergency landlords are allowed to raise rents by 10% is crazy. This means people will not only be displaced by fires in LA but by rent increases too.

Immediate rent increase moratorium and ban on evictions is essential in this time of the LA fires.

Americans are spending way too much on health care - an average of $12,555 per person in 2022. The average in other high-income nations? $6,651. We're spending almost DOUBLE what other nations spend, & yet we still get far worse outcomes for patients.

Musk is now stating no bills should pass congress before January 20th when Trump takes office. So we shut down the government for a month? This is not just irresponsible it is economic terrorism.

Sunday my husband fell of a ladder and severely broke both his wrists and leg. He is lucky he didn’t break his neck. He will require months of medical care and support. I am so worried about him and my ability to care for him. I am also worried health insurance will want him to go home and have me…

Baseball Bluesky is lacking. The Juan Soto deal is imminent and nothing.
