The Internet Archive is the latest victim of irrational funding cuts. In this case, however, you have the power to help preserve the preservation of human kind's vast knowledge & cultures.

“All the best people” 😬

Oops, he did again…

Been working at this place for months Just today found the location tags in the aisle. 🤦‍♀️ I’d been guessing all this time on where things go. 😬

It’s nice that Brexit can help the US understand what we’re all in for in a few years. 🇺🇸 @theguardian.com

NEW: When a firefighter dies, a small team of federal health workers helps pinpoint what went wrong and identify how to avoid similar accidents in the future. Trump laid off nearly all of them.

👇🎯 They. Are. Breaking. Signed. Contracts. For. No. Legal. Reason. You want to pass legislation not funding this stuff going forward? Fine. Epically idiotic, but legal. This is something else. Shredding the basic foundations of the rule of law. Textbook authoritarianism.

HEALTH CARE IS NOT A REWARD FOR OBEDIENCE. DUE PROCESS OF LAW IS NOT A REWARD FOR OBEDIENCE. HUMAN RIGHTS ARE NOT A REWARD FOR OBEDIENCE. THESE ARE THE UNIVERSALLY ENSURED GUARANTEES OF A SOCIETY THAT TREATS ITS PARTICIPANTS AS PEOPLE RATHER THAN THINGS.

We’re honestly on a fast timeline to exactly this.

Happy Easter 🐰

A measles-infected quack treated children in Texas while RFK Jr., now Health Secretary, praised him as an “extraordinary healer.” As measles spreads across 24 states, RFK pushes junk cures and anti-vax lies. Three are dead, and the cult of ignorance sits at the head of public health. 1/2

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

Remember, don’t engage with any counter protesters. Their goal is to turn our peaceful displays of democracy into violence. And for those who want to believe we are being paid, it’s easy to find out for sure: just show up yourself and get paid too! 😉

Absolutely nothing happened today in sector 83 by 9 by 12

Rethinking your cruise vacation... HHS Secretary RFK Jr. laid off CDC cruise ship inspectors & their top outbreak expert—despite the program being funded by cruise line fees, not taxpayers. #CDC #CruiseHealth #RFKJr #PublicHealth https://twp.ai/4ild17

PAY ATTENTION: 93 years old and she still knows a dictator when she sees one. No excuses for the rest of you. Get in the streets or get out of the way.

@maddow.msnbc.com My dad is 98, WWII USNavy Veteran. Showed up for democracy in San Diego today. "I fought for it once, I'll fight for it again!" 💙🇺🇸💙 THIS is what democracy looks like!!!!

Happy Easter

Fun Tariff Facts: during the depression the US lost access to many imported paper products. They were replaced with an unusually tough paper stock made of hemp from the Philippines (then a US colony, and tariff exempt). Anyway, that’s why they were, and still are, called Manila folders / envelopes.

Angel of the Lord: He is not here, He is risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead. Alito: Okay, first of all, this violates ALL sorts of rules Thomas: This was a LAWFUL execution, who is God to interfere

Right Now, most of the American can relate to this message from the 90's.

The Stones record “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” today in 1968. “Mick and I had been up all night,” said Keith. “It was raining .. there was the sound of these boots near the window, belonging to my gardener. It woke Mick up. He said, 'What's that?' I said, 'Oh, that's Jack. That's jumping Jack.'” 🎸

Got some little pins made.

Republicans are trying to steal an election in North Carolina. For the sake of our democracy, let us hope the courts once again prevent that from happening. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/repu...
