Oh, so now it’s a crime to bring your whole self to work
So apparently my company can't remove the guy cooking his beets and tuna in the air fryer. People have picked up and moved their desks because of it. One guy said he was at his desk seasoning chicken breasts.
People are livid.

While reporting When the Wolves Came, we learned why this is not a barrier to a third term for Trump and his team: They don't expect to have elections in 2028. You can listen to the whole award-winning series here: www.ruthbraunstein.com/podcast
President Trump acknowledged Wednesday that the Constitution makes him ineligible for election to a third term.

This is not the point of this accurate post but I still crave liverwurst sandwiches and hot chocolate in honor of Meg and wonder about that delicious lumpy beige alien fruit
Madeleine L’Engle made this point extremely effectively decades ago in A Wrinkle in Time.
No one should EVER monitor Nazi space without a strong support network that can check them regularly and watch for signs that the propaganda is taking hold, and address that reality promptly.
Without a rock solid accountability network, it is playing with fire.

This is I think also one of the reasons you (you as in a regular person) shouldn't got into nazi places to try and 'debate' them (or worse, to hang out and check the vibe. I know somebody who radicalized a lot after doing that to neo-nazi metal concerts (not the only reason he radicalized)).

When I was at Medill (last century) as a newspaper major (lol) the greatest aspiration of the broadcast journalism majors was CBS. CBS was where real television reporting happened.
News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."
One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."
