Think about the last time you went to work knowing your pay might not materialize. That’s what federal workers are facing now that the Senate rejected a plan to pay them during a shutdown. seiu.co/4o8Xp5O

As the government shutdown stretches into a fourth week, lawmakers are no closer to ending it.

Oct. 23, 1775: After his ongoing meeting with representatives from Congress and the New England colonies, Gen. Washington records his decision that all Black Americans, free and slave, would "be rejected altogether." He will incorporate this racial ban into a formal order next month.

Indian-Am hijaban COO quits Sequoia VC after they continue coddling bigot partner. They’re only killing their own deal flow https://www.ft.com/content/8e6de299-3eb6-4ba9-8037-266c55c02170
Sumaiya Balbale — a practising Muslim who has spoken publicly about how her gender, ethnicity and faith have shaped her career — stepped down after five years at the company in August. Her decision to leave was precipitated by Maguire's social media posts, according to three people with knowledge of the matter. Maguire, an outspoken and high-profile investor who is close to Elon Musk, wrote on X in July that New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani "comes from a culture that lies about everything. It's literally a virtue to lie if it advances his Islamist agenda. The West will learn this lesson the hard way." Balbale complained to other senior partners at the firm, who declined to take action against Maguire, arguing he was just exercising his right to free speech, the people said. She left soon after, feeling her position was untenable.

My BSky timeline is strewn with posts about Nazi symbolism in the military and what it "really" means, and that it's not a big deal.

In light of the Graham Platner story - reposting this...

Marine from 1985 to 1993. Infantry, 0331/Heavy Machine Gunner. Nazi tattoos were everywhere. When Black/Latino Marines would complain, we were ignored.

Mr. Platner claims he didn't know the tattoo was a Nazi symbol. He's lying 100%.
