I had to check … and double check… that this wasn’t a gag. A joke. A farcical play on the emergence of AI “co-workers”. I’m still not 100% sure it’s NOT. It’s definitely sad.

The first rule of content design: words matter.
Kidnapping.

Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.

Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.

A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.
stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.

-You cannot legally deport people without due process.

-You cannot legally deport citizens.

-They are defining down deportation to break the law.

A Black Senator just broke that record. Suck it, Thurmond.
Strom Thurmond made his Senate record while fighting against Black voting rights.

It stood for 67 years.

A Black man is about to break it.

There’s no reason to have a Democratic Party if it won’t go to the mat to save the Department of Education. It’s a fundamental belief that children in America deserve better futures. It’s tremendously simple. You cannot continue funding a government that would close this.

The Department of Education will begin sweeping layoffs tonight with about half of its 4,400 employees expected to be let go, sources tell CNN.

Helpful reminder: Your friends are going through the hellscape just like you. They are not ignoring you. Some people tend to isolate themselves in times of stress or depression. Feel free to do a friend check in! #friends #social #mentalhealth

If the US blocks access to HRT, ADHD drugs, and SSRIs, I cannot begin to describe to you how much all of the tech sector will screech to a halt. The internet is built and maintained by trans people, people with chronic depression, and the neurodivergent.

I know it’s a lot of doom and gloom and people don’t know where to start so my suggestion is find your neighborhood/close by community fridge. Take when you need and donate when you can. That is something you can do.

I’m notoriously pro-sandwich.
You know how some days you feel you can’t control a dang thing?

Yeah, you know that

A reminder that there is one dang thing you can (usually) control:

Your sandwich.

That’s right. Just make a sandwich you like and you will feel a *tiny* bit better. I swear it works. This sandwich made my day
