It’s important to remember that no one person can do all that is needed but each of us can contribute in the ways that are possible for us. In the end what matters is that we see one another and lift each other up!

Major airports are refusing to air Kristi Noem’s propaganda video blaming Democrats for the shutdown, and there’s a reason: it violates the Hatch Act

You can’t use taxpayer resources for partisan attacks. Period.

This is exactly what I fear: the loss of our best and brightest.

"So we read with interest yesterday the news that two Nobel-winning MIT economists are decamping for the University of Zurich next year.

MAGA may be fine with this. But we liked it when America was a magnet for Nobel laureates, not a place they wanted to flee."

Oh god, I remember that one. So infuriating. And he got away with it too.

This is a really weird take from what I wrote.

I just want him back in the swamps, preferably to be consumed painfully by alligators. His smug face really really bugs me.

That said, I hate them all.

Republicans continue to postpone the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the newest Democrat elected to Congress, for a 14th day.

Her day one promise is to be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

Good. Let the Russians suffer. Let them collapse.

Then we should rebuild that iron curtain and keep them behind it until they learn to behave properly on the world stage.

I’d be interested to see which regions of the country generally have the most people receiving disability benefits. I’m wondering how much industrial pollution from (often now defunct) industry has created a population that suffers.

Or for him to run it at a loss (he’s got his billions). It’s his very own propaganda machine.

For those of you attending the #NoKingsMarch; please stay safe and keep it peaceful. Please be mindful that there may be bad actors among us.

Their purpose is to cause chaos to get a reaction from the police. Report them when you see them.

the position of the administration it seems is that it is illegal discrimination and divisive racism for historically excluded groups to organize on that basis to improve their position. it’s basically just a genteel version of david duke’s complaint that there wasn’t a NAACP for white people

Victor Ray @victorerikray.bsky.social · 2h

I know it is beside the point because this administration simply wants resegregation but conferences for Black professional associations have always been open to everyone. Typically, the started as a response to white exclusion, and did not replicate that.

Very bad: OSU unilaterally cancelled the registration of grad students attending the joint conference of the National Society of Black Physicists and the National Society of Hispanic Physicists. And OSU won't fund recruiting at the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science.

Noting that the photo on the left is ICE pepper-spraying the same minister who they also shot in the forehead on a separate occasion with a pepperball, so it's decidedly not an accident and empirical proof that they're going after people who aren't violent or threatening.
