Just learned from NPR that the federal government is the largest employer in the great Kansas City area, for example. I found it helpful to be reminded that, of course, this isn’t just about people who work and live in DC. Federal employees are in all of our communities.

Absolutely unbelievable. Just imagine if this had happened on Biden’s watch. The Republicans and the media would be in an uproar — and rightfully so.
But it’s on Trump’s watch, so crickets. 🦗

I'm generally a fan, @ossoff.bsky.social, but maybe lay off the fundraising emails right now because I'm worried about WAY BIGGER SHORT TERM problems than MTG running against you. It feels a bit too tone-deaf and "politics-as-usual" for the dumpster fire happening in our country this week.

What we're seeing with this map is mainly the impact of how Title I cuts would hit low-spending (low-wealth) states.

I'm super allergic to cats, so I'm a dog person IRL. But in these times, the algorithm seems to be figuring out that I'm 100% here for everyone's cute cat pics. 🤷♀️

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

I'm not saying there's a causal relationship between this kind of idiotic thinking and the hellscape we currently find ourselves in, but maybe cruelty toward others should be removed from the playbook. 🤷♀️ Know better, do better.
