There are no words. We all know people can have their views. Be as racist as you want! Do you. But you don’t get to spew racism, while working in customer service, and also keep your job. You gotta pick one.
“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

This entire article is positive about Trump Gold Cards. It contains positive quotes about it from Trump, Lutnick and a CEO. It contains no quotes from the many critics of the program. This is sandwiched between 6 posts about Erika Kirk. CBS is lost.

I am deadly serious when I say that any liberal Project 2028 people should be taking names of the civil servants who go way past their authority to do stuff like this.

That is very much not me saying that normal employees following bad orders should be fired. But there’s a line. This crosses it.
That should be a career ending act of corruption

I fall into the deepest hole any time I put any significant thought into how different the world might be today.
It's been 25 years since a blatantly corrupt SCOTUS decision changed the world.

We may never know who actually won, because they made sure we could never find out.

Imagine how different the world would be today.

Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery.
Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff.
Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him.

i called. no one answered, but i was able to leave a voice message. it took 30 seconds. if you live in a state where redistricting is on the table to counteract the republican efforts, just call your state senator's office and leave a quick message.
For fellow Maryland folks, the office of senate president Bill Ferguson is answering calls and creating a list of people in favor of redistricting to boot insurrectionist House Rep. Andy Harris from office. Call! It takes 30 seconds.

410-841-3600 or 800-492-7122.

Important: Maryland senate leader refuses to redistrict to counter Trump/GOP, but Rep Jamie Raskin says if Indiana GOPers move, MD must act:

"There’s nothing ethical or moral about unilaterally disarming before authoritarians in a game they’ve created."

Everyone’s gonna die someday. Trump may die sooner, and when he does, I worry there will be a genuine explosion of violence by people who will be enraged by the celebrations, a deepening of the rift.

Friday’s chances are basically gone — maybe a flurry or two.

Early Sunday is the one to watch, but confidence low. The Euro shows a few inches for D.C., but temps & broader pattern make a coating more likely for now.

Still a couple days to track it.

Details: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...
Some snow could fall Sunday in D.C. area while Friday’s chance fades
A light accumulation is possible early Sunday morning, especially northeast of D.C.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

this reminds of that very sad black mirror episode where Rashida Jones has to subscribe to a tech service to stay alive after she gets sick but the price keeps going up and she has to get free version with ads that she blurts out at random times.
Unfortunately I did not pay for Premium Grandma w/out Ads and had to settle for free Grandma, and she starts every conversation telling me it would be cool if I got a job with ICE.

I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.

Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.
