Dismantling these departments that warn us about the weather is in Project 2025, and the core reason is they say these departments (RIGHTLY) drive “climate chang alarmism”, which “is harmful to future prosperity” (aka BIG OIL PROFITS)

This one never gets old:

"Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government."

Anyone else feeling the government is becoming destructive of these ends (life, liberty, pursuit of happiness)?

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

"Tinkering around the edges will not be enough."

Law alone will be not be enough to stop lawlessness. "We must respond to politics with politics."

Brilliant read from 2 former CFPB lawyers on how we must think big after the Trump regime fully destroys admin law.
www.yalejreg.com/nc/the-100-d...
"Finally, we must acknowledge that the Trump Administration’s corruption and legal maximalism is part of the same cynical wave that we have seen washing over the courts these past few years. The claim that a rule does not need to go through notice-and-comment if President Trump says so is fundamentally similar to the “get-out-of-text-free cards” that conservative judges have been finding in their stockings. We should not be asking what we fear more, the executive branch or certain elements of the judiciary. We need institutions that work for actual human beings, up and down the line. Our response to the current aggressive lawlessness from the executive therefore cannot be to push for new laws that further restrain the government from delivering for working people. The urge to protect human beings from a reactionary leviathan is understandable. But we are extremely skeptical that law alone will be enough to stop lawlessness—that judges and rules can stand up to pure political power. We must respond to politics with politics. We must recognize the role that frustration with a government that never seems to do much for everyday Americans had in creating this mess. The only effective response to the Trump scourge will be to offer a viable alternative, premised on a government that can deliver real solutions to the widespread discontent millions of Americans feel. That government has to be able to take on corporate abuse that rigs the economy against working people, the big tech oligarchy that poisons our children, and polluting industries that boil our planet. What should we do with these lessons? Tinkering around the edges will not be enough. We must be willing to start from a blank piece of paper and begin with a fundamental principle: the law must be able to sustain a government that can address the problems Americans desperately need it to solve. We need protections from lawlessness and we need a system that works. There will be no movement on any number of critic…

“All of these precautions have kept me safe. In contrast, almost all my colleagues have had COVID at least once—some multiple times. Some even have Long COVID.”

Mitigations work! Repeat infections are not inevitable.

Grateful to the HCWs still masking & protecting themselves and their patients

Citizens’ Impeachment has long held that if just 5% of Americans contacted their members of Congress about impeachment, it would be the largest collective action of its kind in American history. It would almost certainly lead to his removal from office.

A study of masks and respirators confirms, yet again, that earloop KN95/KF94 masks perform similarly to surgical masks. Earloop masks should not be recommended as a substitute for proper headstrap N95 respirators—except for the rare wearer who passes a fit test in them.

Panda Express becomes the latest business to ban masks for employees, insisting that being able to see facial expressions is necessary for team building.

This is ableist & discriminatory. Employees have to apply to be allowed to mask, putting an undue burden on disabled staff.
Screenshot of a Reddit post from r/pandaexpress It reads Anyone else's store put up this notice? And then has a photo of a typed piece of paper which reads: At Panda, we are dedicated to providing a warm, welcoming, and engaging environment for both our guests and associates. Open and friendly interactions are a key part of our hospitality philosophy, and clear communication-including the ability to see facial expressions-enhances teamwork and guest service. To ensure consistency across all locations while balancing individual needs, we are introducing the following guidelines regarding mask usage for all associates. Policy: Beginning April 20, 2025 associates should not wear a mask covering any part of their face while working, unless required for specific job duties or safety protocols. • Guests are welcome to wear masks at their discretion. • Associates desiring an exemption to this policy for medical, religious, or other protected reasons should speak with their manager or HR. • This policy applies to all associates, both front-of-house and back-of-house, except in locations where local or state regulations require otherwise. • Associates in California should note that this policy is not applicable in California due to pending state legislation. Panda remains committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace and will work with individuals to address specific needs while maintaining a high standard of teamwork and guest service. This approach ensures consistency across our locations while allowing for appropriate accommodations when needed. Any accommodation requests must be submitted in the LOA/Accommodation Portal for review and approval.

They never even studied the presentation of autism in women, girls or minorities.

ASD and ADHD presents differently than in little boys.

And with this administration, we have returned to only studying disease through the eyes of how it affects males.

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!
