An AI video but make it Seminole and Miccosukee nations reclaiming Mar-a-Lago.

I don't know what happens next but I hope it is joyous because that's the story I need right now.

Only a privileged person tells a person whose living on ssdi this. Why aren't you triggered, Deb? That's my question. Why isn't everyone triggered and helping us fight back?

Last week I was thinking about resubscribing to @washingtonpost.com when my now-cancelled subscription runs out. Glad I didn't act on that. Just signed up for a year of support for @marisakabas.bsky.social instead, which is a small price to pay for the HUD AI toe sucking video story alone...

SSA employee to me re: 50% staff reduction: "Can say unequivocally that such deep cuts to SSA, which is already at historically low staffing, will cause significant to extreme degradation of services, very likely including checks missed and individuals dying before their claims can be processed."

Other countries have social safety nets. The US has women.

If you have ever wondered why our safety net is so inadequate and so full of cruelties and indignities, it is because of anti-Black racism.

Holy bots, Batman! What do we do about them here?

Waiting for them to get a donate button up...

yes, the rise of fascism is bad, but have you considered that some very wealthy people were rudely spoken to

THIS IS REALLY REALLY BAD cc: @murray.senate.gov and @cantwell.senate.gov

I know many of us are thinking about baleen on the news, but here is the @nytimes.com spouting some whale-y interseting stories. I hope this was on porpoise and isn't just a fluke. ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ

#DraftPete @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Politics aside, Buttigieg is a preturnaturally skilled communicator, and having him get up on television and just give a press conference about bad shit Trump is doing might actually help to break things through to people who don't realize we're in crisis.

This is going to kill rural hospitals

As a native-born Ohioan, I'm usually immune to taunts from the north, but this one burns. Sometimes buckeyes really are poisonous nuts.

Iโ€™ve seen too many higher ed folks wave away the threat to our universities. We need to understand what is coming and get organized right now to fight back. Join your union, form a union, join your AAUP chapter, talk to your colleagues. Do it now @ucaft.bsky.social

Lol.

Kids, The Onion headlines used to be jokes not just a direct reporting of recent events.

There is a really weird disjuncture between how people on the internet perceive current events and how people I encounter every day seem to perceive them.

Some people have the idea that if you 'study policy', you should only speak up after you've done a 'rigorous' analysis, which almost guarantees speaking up after the damage is done.

Does anyone have any info on when the SIPP online codebook will be back up? Or happen to have a downloadable version of the codebook? This is for the 2014 and later panels, which only had the online interactive codebook.

They replaced Native American Heritage Day with Black Friday.
