they're also ignoring that there's a time limit to this change in CA, whereas none exists elsewhere, so.

I watched adult children who inherited a 51% of a business force the employee owned other 49% to sell to a group that sold off all the core assets, fired workers, & took all the cash. Instead of raises we competed for “merit bonuses” from a shared pot of money & our value judged by managers.

"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

Our public discourse has to be about how wealth disparity & the power of the wealthy has made housing, education, health care & everything we need out of reach for those who work for a living.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

#FEMA folks are organizing a rally. It’s a ways off but let’s save the date. Share this shamelessly & let everyone know whether it’s your fellow FEMA employees or allies in the DMV area.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

Experiments have to be worth conducting to be valid. Hiring someone with a history of stupidity and racism along with terrible writing isn’t really an experiment, it’s a sign of very poor judgement by anyone who hires her.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.
