NEW: Federal workers had their out-of-office replies changed to an unhinged and probably illegal partisan screed; when they changed them to neutral language, the replies were changed yet again. @leahfeiger.bsky.social and @telliotter.bsky.social have the details:

Government Workers Say Their Out-of-Office Replies Were Forcibly Changed to Blame Democrats for Shutdown

Some employees at the Department of Education changed their responses back to the more neutral language, only to have it changed yet again to the partisan response, multiple sources tell WIRED.

In my @teenvogue.com debut, I spoke with congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social about the incident involving her and an ICE agent at the Broadview ICE facility earlier this month, where protests against the Trump administration's aggressive immigration policies are ongoing daily.

Earlier this month, U.S. House candidate @katmabu.bsky.social, 26, was involved in a confrontation at an ICE rally that went viral.

The absent House Republicans may claim, “We’ve already passed our bill!”

That’s true, but they did so knowing it would fail in the Senate. You can't blame a shutdown on us when you present an unworkable "solution" and then skip town.

House Democrats occupy the House Floor while the Republican side is empty

They control the House, Senate, and White House. A shutdown is their doing, but House Republicans aren’t even at the Capitol!

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee.
You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

Lefties are radicalized by financial emergencies or institutional failures. Righties are radicalized by people being mean to them online.

The mass graves discovered in Chemmani included a baby bottle, schoolbags, and children's toys among the 141 skeletons. This is yet another reminder of the terrible atrocities committed against the Tamil people.

The skeletons' identities have yet to be discovered, but many think the victims could be civilians who disappeared during Sri Lanka’s civil war in 1983.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class.

This is Kirk's legacy.

You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

Huntington Beach, CA - As Patriot Front, Ryan Sanchez and Neo-Nazi groups are leaving they began to pummel one man in a leather jacket, who told me he was there to mourn Kirk but “hated Nazis.”

Attackers include members of the GDL and Robert Wheldon.

the only people on the left upset are the influencers and i think their audiences should wake up from their parasocial relationships and see what side they're really on.
