Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

There's an important point here that I'm not sure everyone is fully appreciating. People still in their probationary periods took their career positions because they were committed to doing the work of keeping the government humming regardless of who won this or any other election.

Jacobs: It's so funny to me that my colleagues on the other side spent 30 minutes talking about how we don't want unelected bureaucrats making these rules when they're literally allowing a unelected Elon Musk run roughshod over congress' power of the purse

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Note: In 2024 alone, Musk’s enterprises were awarded approximately $3 billion across nearly 100 federal contracts, averaging about $8 million per day.

I remember reading something about the "Stay At Home Girlfriend" Movement from a former stay at home girlfriend and she said "When you give a man the power to feed you, you give him the power to starve you."

Elon Musk’s staffers are still attempting to manipulate the Treasury payment system to halt the flow of funds following their recent losses. Reminder: U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has restricted DOGE’s read-only access. No one is above the law.

Musk’s team—Christopher Young, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gavin Kliger—is currently at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). This move comes just months after Musk posted “Delete CFPB” on his X social media platform.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Hi friends from Canada / Mexico: I’m so sorry our President is being a shit. I know what you have to do is going to suck for our country, but your actions are economic self-defense, and you have to stand up to bullies.

I probably don't have to actually say this, but to my Canadian and Mexican friends and followers: this is extremely stupid and I hate it.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

What's really annoying on an existential level is knowing that Elon isn't actually destroying the federal government for ideological reasons, he's doing it for the same reason he lies about playing Path of Exile, which is to impress the shitty little dickheads on the website he ruined

Do not buy where you would not be hired. Some companies shore up on toxic workplaces whilst others continue to seek to build safe and inclusive spaces with a diversity of ideas from people of different backgrounds.

After almost 14 years at BioWare, I am devastated to learn today that myself and others must seek new opportunities. I am so grateful for all of the learning, challenges, and most importantly the team. I will remember my time here with joy. Tomorrow we'll move forward. For today I will just be sad.

Just a reminder to all you former Bioware devs.... we love you and the magic you created is not diminished by the greedy and cowardly execs who let you all go. You will go on to make great & amazing things no matter where you land. Out from under the yoke of EA you will not only survive but thrive.

Sincere #ThankYouDADevs to all who have dreamed up, built, and fleshed out Thedas and its characters. The depth and thoughtfulness of these games has brought me a lot of joy and I know myself and many others find them uniquely inspiring. The good you have done ripples out in so many ways. Thank you.

Hello! I’m looking for work, ideally in an editor role. It’s been an honor to work with so many talented professionals, and a pleasure to meet so many amazing community members, in my 19 years at BioWare. I’m so grateful to all of you.

apropos of nothing, if you’ve never been to the japanese american national museum and you’re local to LA, i highly suggest visiting their permanent exhibition on internment camps. really read about the words/actions of the politicians who tried to justify their existence. People still remember.

Protect trans people in your spaces. The orange dipshit and his cronies can all say whatever they want, but offer time, energy, and support for the trans people you know, even if it’s just breathing room for them to be themselves. And learn to throw a proper punch. For many reasons.

When I daydream about a Democratic Party that learns messaging, the slogan I imagine is: Get the Government You Pay For. Clean air and water? You pay for that. You should get it. Medicare and Social Security? You paid for that. You should get it. Your kids’ education? Safe food? Roads?

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
