In NC, @davidjoy.bsky.social powerfully explains why it’s wrong to remove a “compromise plaque” without public input, and why revering the confederacy is offensive.

The Smithsonian Trump EO is an alarming overreach in2 cultural institutions. When governments dictate which stories get told, we lose the opportunity 2 learn from our history. The Smithsonian should remain a place where scholarship determines how we present our national story.

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

A Missouri Representative has filed a bill to track pregnancies in the state.

HB 807 will: "Maintain a central registry of each expectant mother who is at risk for seeking an abortion of her unborn child and make the same available to a prospective adoptive parent who has completed screenings."

Data and information about the flu vaccine is political? WTF
On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now

Justice Brandeis said, “Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for the law. It invites every man to become a law unto himself. It invited anarchy.”

They are going to ignore court orders.

If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect.

It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.

Con law and fed courts clearly weren’t JD’s best classes in law school.
JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

We had many fatal plane crashes in decades past when hiring practices favored white men. This DC accident is the 1st fatal U.S. commercial air crash in 16 years. That hardly suggests fairness in hiring is a problem. Quite the opposite. Trump is using a tragedy to push his racist, sexist message.

Reporter: You blamed the diversity elements but then told us you weren’t sure that the controllers made any mistakes.

Trump: It’s all under investigation.

Reporter: That’s why I’m trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this crash.

Do you wonder why you haven’t heard much about this massive TB outbreak recently? Cuz the CDC can’t hold any press conferences or issue public statements of any kind.

When Musk denies that he did a big ol Nazi salute during the inauguration, remember this, from Jean-Paul Sartre, 1944.

"It was a Roman salute" is an updated version of "actually, the Buddhists also used swastikas." If you are using it post-1945, you know very well that the association has changed.

The media coverage of Musk's obvious Nazi salute tells you all you need to know about whether democracy is about to, or has already ended here.

That a Nazi salute defines the first day of the second Trump presidency illustrates that even the most doomsaying cynics among us cannot predict how truly awful the next 4 years will be.
