Ok, update: Worklife Wellness Office and Occupational Health and Safety Office were RIFed.

CDC was targeted by a shooter just over a month ago. Many of us are traumatized.
So honestly… cutting the teams that help staff recover and stay safe? 🖕

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

MIT is the first university to reject Trump’s proposed “Compact for Academic Excellence.” MIT’s president: “Scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone,” and "the people of MIT gladly compete with the very best, without preferences."

I recently saw a post where someone’s 5th grade kid brought home worksheets about this guy. The worksheets painted him as some type of saint further whitewashing his racist legacy. I wondered why a certain segment was so adamant about lionizing a guy sane people know was a tool and vector of WS 1/

This is dishonest and sad.

You know damn well that us two different things.

You know damn well we did not see the protests interrupting his rallies as much as they did hers.

You know damn well protesting ICE incursions NOW is NOT the same

The level of gaslighting y’all will do about women is 🗑️

Noah Berlatsky @nberlat.bsky.social · 8h

a lot of ppl in comments saying that pro palestinian activists don't protest trump. that's simply not true. among other things in chicago, Palestinian groups are among those in the coalition that's protesting ICE incursions right now.

And its quite apparent- folks‘ experience circle has never included much of the 92% - cuz continuing to be amazed were not going to indef sit in silence as you act feral, disrespectful, and ignorant when you are wringing LOUDLY- is some crazy shit.

Carry on.

If you all would have included truthful Black History as part of American History, you wouldn't be so "shocked" by what is happening right now. In fact, what is happening now likely wouldn't be happening because you would have been able to see it coming with knowledge of history.

We Black experts are merely pointing out the GIGANTIC hole in your “protest” process.

You’re doing these demonstrations to make you feel like you’re accomplishing something—exactly why the government permits them.

To appease you people.

Now, now, stop trying to be a manipulative pouting baby because people are asking you a realistic question.

And ofc I can develop a plan. Like any clinician and legal professionals can for this, but that also takes long term planning to meet to do this.

Again, protests are a tool & not a plan.

Theres nothing wrong with protesting, m'kay? But it's only a tool & not a plan.

To have strikes & protests w/o a single plan with clear measurable objectives where you also check to see how things are going to reach your goal is like a client coming into my office to vent w/no treatment plan.

I’ll ask again. What’s the demand for Oct 18?

OhSoNotRight @ohsonotright.bsky.social · 1d

I disagree. As long as people are willing to stand and fight for Democracy, America is not over.

No Kings Day - Oct 18th. Stand and be counted.

Resist. Organize. Protest. Disobey. Free America.

The United States is in her final hours.

It’s not “doomerism” to acknowledge Project 2025, nearly 1/2-implemented;

our Supreme Court is poised to outlaw same-sex marriage and multiple basic rights;

armed gov’t agents are ✨kidnapping✨ thousands daily.

Rule of Law is dead. Face facts. It’s over. 🇺🇸
