“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

Turns out “Move fast and break things” is ALSO a stupid idea for federal safety agencies.

The anti-CRT/DEI/WHITE movement predates the American education system. But don't take my word for it... Read the primary sources Hurry up. It might be illegal soon.

What could be more important than laundering Dear Leader’s share in LIV golf now that he’s president?

Also, if you lay people off, you still have to count the cost of paying severances, and defending the lawsuits that will arise.

We haven’t even been able to make Election Day a holiday, and nothing is being done about the price of eggs, healthcare or rent. But let’s definitely celebrate our ancient Dear Leader.

Knowledge is power…

This definitely the way to bring egg prices down. 🫣

Hard to believe we still have to risk losing children to this.

cc: @Gavin Newsome It’s time to build a CDC & NIH in California with the folks who were fired from the feds. In fact, I think each blue state governor needs to scoop up these scientists, healthcare workers and laboratory workers asap. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

This is such a great idea. Would love to see @petebuttigieg.bsky.social go around the country talking about the news and showing what’s been done. The “news” won’t do it.

😂😂😂 😭😭😭

We were robbed. It still breaks my heart.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

“Others who are back in five days don’t have any teammates in the same location. They find themselves jockeying for parking, a place to sit, and private rooms to make video calls.” But tell me again how great return to office is for collaboration. 🙄 www.wsj.com/tech/amazon-...

SURPRISE 🙄

Good news when we really need it!

Why not just overturn County of Santa Clara v Southern Pacific Railroad (corporate personhood) while we’re at it? If 50 year old and 90 year old precedents are fair game, why not take the wayback machine for real?

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

Back to strategizing about which other town to shop in to find something not on shelves. But tell me again how the GOP is supposed to be the party of business. Seems like the Party of Empty Shelves to me. #stockup

@nytimes.com Wake me when you start actually providing independent journalism.

This is a room where we turn very modest salaries and budgets (and lots of coffee) into new knowledge, life-saving innovations, and technology that feeds business growth. It's literally the loom that spins hay into gold but these numpties are suddenly worried about the cost of hay.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

🔥🔥🔥

This explains a lot actually 🫣

“Why do I need NOAA? I’ve got a weather app.” Is equivalent to asking “Why do I need farms? I can go to the supermarket.” www.noaa.gov/about-our-ag...
