Good news. All unions are endangered, in every work area. Keep fighting. It will be a long 4 years.
The National Treasury Employees Union, which represents federal government employees in 37 agencies and departments, has sued President Donald Trump over his order that makes it easier to fire career civil servants and replace them with political loyalists.

"It wasn't a Nazi salute. He's just autistic!"

People need to stop using autism to excuse every shitty thing Musk does. I've known lots of autistic people. None do that salute or associate with German fascists.

It's not because he's neuro-atypical.
It's because he's Nazi typical.

President Trump's inaugural address was a misleading assessment of the U.S. It has a growing economy, falling inflation, slowing illegal immigration, a record-breaking stock market, the lowest levels of violent crime in years and a military that has limited engagement in conflicts around the world.
Trump’s inaugural address centers on pledge to lift a country in ‘decline’
In his second Inaugural Address, the president reprised dark themes from his first and laid out an expansive policy agenda.

If you’re waiting for a charismatic leader to step up and fix everything, get used to waiting.

There’s no mythical rescuer coming. There’s just all of us and the daily work of supporting our communities.

Find a local org, get involved, help the people around you. That’s the only answer.

I will never understand why people who know nothing about education are given any say in it. I don't want politics or corporate greed anywhere near our schools & libraries. I want EDUCATORS in charge of education - teachers & librarians in charge of everything! #EduSky #libraries

Don't think for ONE SINGLE MINUTE that this is not exactly what DJT intends. Every bill that is intended to help people will be blocked & stalled because of his sick need to be a fascist dictator while letting a non-citizen foreigner who's destroyed his own businesses be the Rasputin to his Czar.
President-elect Trump said Friday morning that it would be better for the government to shut down now, under President Biden’s watch, than to let congressional gridlock result in a politically damaging stalemate after he takes office next month.
Trump Says Shutdown Should Happen on Biden’s Watch, Not His
The president-elect is eager to evade responsibility for the consequences of a potential shutdown even as he blew up a bipartisan deal that would have kept it open.

W O W. Did not take long for blue sky to sell out. Really disappointed in the Blue Sky owners. That was faster than Musk by years. One more kick in the face to my eternally overestimating people.

I keep seeing this reference to public bathrooms as women's "private spaces" and I just do not understand it. Strangers are strangers even when they're women! We're not communing in there for hours at a time, talking about perimenopause and who's getting divorced and shaving our legs.

One of the highlights of my life is when young people send us their fan-sequels to Banned Book Club and No Rules Tonight.

Haruna Toba, a student at Japan's Akita University, sent us this touching manga where Hyun Sook meets the characters from her favorite book.

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.

You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1
