The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

To instrumentalize what my sister is saying below: every time someone says DEI say “you mean civil rights?” Every time someone says they are against woke reply “oh so you’re a segregationist!” Words have meaning! Don’t allow that nonsense to stand.

Just a heads up for peeps, if you bought a Neil Gaiman audiobook from Audible, they are allowing refunds for them with no questions asked and no matter how long ago you bought them. I don’t even have an active subscription and they gave me credits back for two titles purchased in 2020.

Had a lovely solstice with a partner tonight. Listened to a witchy solstice playlist and wrote things we wanted to release on bits of paper. Then we tossed those into the fire. When the fire was down to embers, we discussed things we wanted more of instead. It was mellow and tender and warming.

The most disturbing thing about Florida turning its prisons into state-mandated conversion therapy centers is how the national GOP has been copying the Florida and Texas playbooks on most issues. This is something we need to make a major news issue NOW before they try to make it national.

I was a lifeguard. Can confirm. You don’t look for the splashy ones; you look for the silent bobbing faces. We train to recognize those quiet signs; otherwise people drown among friends in plain sight. I mention this because it’s true of other struggles. Check on your quiet, stoic-seeming friends.
