Trump admin has frozen or cancelled $28 b for projects, almost all in Dem districts. Small amount of frozen funds in GOP districts are in predominately Dem states (CA, OR, WA, CO, MN, IL, NY, MD), or in predominately Dem cities (St Louis, Atlanta, Greenville) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Trump admin is freezing or cancelling billions of dollars in funding for projects in Democratic areas.

“Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.”

Incredible, timeless advice.

Also; don’t. talk to cops. If you get arrested, shut the fuck up.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

ICE agents are the modern SS, you can't change my mind on this.

"During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she 'doesn’t look like' a Greeley."

www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Chicago Tribune: Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents.

“I am Latina and I am a service worker,” Greeley said. “I fit the description of what they’re looking for now.”

During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she “doesn’t look like” a Greeley.

“They said this isn’t real, they kept telling me I’m lying, I’m a liar,” Greeley recalled. “I told them to look in the rest of my wallet, I have my credit cards, my insurance.”

If you are applying for a faculty job in Texas, argue for a higher salary than you'd get at other institutions. The lack of real tenure protections is a de facto compensation cut and you should negotiate accordingly.

Texas search committees know that getting good candidates is an uphill battle.

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 3d

If you make "controversial statements" outside of classroom, that the President of the university dislikes, you can be summarily fired even if you are tenured.

Julie Greene @greeneland.bsky.social · 3d

I just learned, Thomas Alter, tenured professor, has been terminated effective immediately. Shame on Texas State! We mst build support for Tom. spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/south-tex...

Mum broght me a new smell today. It's punkin pie, but I got kinda stuck in the bag when I was smellin. It's a good one, though; sweet an spice. The smell. Not the bag. But the bag is OK, too. Very crinkle-y. --sTuffin🐾

Stephanie the tuxedo cat is standing on a beige rug, on a wood floor. Photographed from above, she has her head stuck through the handle of a tan plastic grocery bag. Stephanie collects smells; no matter what it is, edible or not, she wants to smell it, and she seems pleased when she gets a smell she's never had before. I obviously don't let her smell dangerous things like spray paint, or mineral spirits, or epoxy, but anything safe for her is fair game. She never touches any of it; she just wants to collect the smell, and then off she goes to do...whatever it is that little Oreo gremlins do when Mum isn't watching too closely. She's an odd little thing, but very cute. ♥️

my wife: maybe 🤔

Newsom is allowing trans rights on paper to keep the cis liberals satisfied, which they will be, while ensuring trans people (and queer cis people!) don't actually get to have rights in a material sense

Trans News Network @transnews.network · 3d

CA UPDATE:

Newsom has signed these queer rights bills:
- AB 82 / SB 497 (Medical privacy)
- AB 1084 / SB 59 (Name/Gender changes)
- SB 450 (Adoption access)

And vetoed these bills:
- SB 418 (HRT stockpile)
- AB 554 (PreP)

Final total: 8 bills signed, 2 vetoed.
