"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

Legal counsel representing federal employees is now being targeted by the Trump administration. Law firms are receiving a clear message that retaliation is possible for those advocating on behalf of individuals or groups opposing the administration’s agenda.

I'll jump on #TrailTuesday with a photo of a quick hike to Thunderbird Falls just north of #Anchorage.

It's a great short hike for smaller kiddos getting introduced to hiking and nature.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️
Scatterplot titled “Empirical Evidence of Ideological Targeting in Federal Layoffs: Agencies seen as liberal are significantly more likely to face DOGE layoffs.” • The x-axis represents Perceived Ideological Leaning of federal agencies, ranging from -2 (Most Liberal) to +2 (Most Conservative), based on survey responses from over 1,500 federal executives. • The y-axis shows Agency Size (Number of Staff) on a logarithmic scale from 1,000 to 1,000,000. Each point represents a federal agency: • Red dots indicate agencies that experienced DOGE layoffs. • Gray dots indicate agencies with no layoffs. Key Observations: • Liberal-leaning agencies (left side of the plot) are disproportionately represented among red dots, indicating higher layoff rates. • Notable targeted agencies include: • HHS (Health & Human Services) • EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) • NIH (National Institutes of Health) • CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) • Dept. of Education • USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development) • The National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE), despite its conservative leaning (+1 on the scale), is an exception among targeted agencies. • A notable outlier: the Department of Veterans Affairs (moderately conservative) also faced layoffs despite its size. Takeaway: The figure visually demonstrates that DOGE layoffs disproportionately targeted liberal-leaning agencies, supporting claims of ideological bias. The pattern reveals that layoffs were not driven by agency size or budget alone but were strongly associated with perceived ideology. Source: Richardson, Clinton, & Lewis (2018).

Van Hollen: "There's no Article 4 in the Constitution that gives Elon Musk that authority, and the way he's been 'delegated' this authority is illegal, and the actions he's taking are illegal, and we need to shut down this illegal operation."

Remember, when you feel defeated. When you feel overwhelmed. When you feel like you can't keep track of it all. When you feel like it's hopeless. That is EXACTLY what the Trump Regime wants you to feel. We aren't whipped. You need to take a knee, you do that. We got this.

#Nuclear waste is about to be fast tracked without environmental permits or considerations. I grew up near these waters and now I'm not sure future generations will be able to enjoy them.

Ahh a personal #favorite the #DollyVarden. These, along with #trout , and #grayling #fish hang behind the spawing #salmon population and wait for the rogue egg to slurp up.

#Western #AK #locals rely on these fish as much as salmon for food and each play important parts in each other's #ecosystems
