I think a lot of folks are basically shrugging and saying, 'eh, layoffs, part of doing business,' is because so many of us have NEVER HAD employment protections. They can't comprehend it being illegal to randomly fire someone. We should ALL have those rights. Layoffs SHOULDN'T be business as usual.

The thing about the business 'move fast and break things' approach is that in government, the price paid for carelessly broken things is human lives and our planet.

We are now a reality show. Do not get sucked in to endless watching. We know we need to fight without the minutia of everyday evidence—and focusing on it is an energy drain. Find the helpers, protect your neighbors, learn where to plug in within your community to be most effective, hold on to hope.

Bsky is an inclusive place so please add alt to your images 💜
⚠️ A lot of people won't interact/repost if an image lacks alt 😶

📢 And please, ffs, do not add alt where you just say "tweet" or "quote", that's just a dick move 😠

~For those who simply forget: you can toggle a reminder in the settings 💜
Posting this again because a lot of people said they found it helpful! Guide to ALT text: www.perkins.org/resource/how...

Other than the mega wealthy, is it even possible to find a jury of people that haven't been negatively affected by the US health insurance industry in 2024?

This was such a cool study, I threw out my planned schedule to write about this instead.

Ecologists worked with art historians to find out if it’s possible to study landscape changes by looking at art from the nineteenth century. 🧪 🐡
