We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

We need to have been building a world that sits in recognition of its relational interdependence thus giving rise to a kinder, more compassionate, more equitable, and more just version of itself for the past… entirety of all human civilizations, but we really need to be working to build it Right Now

Tommy Tuberville says his wife's homestead exemption established his residency in Alabama, but election records show both of them voted in Florida after that. And that's only the beginning.
Why did Tommy Tuberville vote in Florida if he lived in Alabama?

LGBTQ federal workers say they're terrified they're about to be fired for their gender identity, sexual orientation, or past efforts to support other queer and trans employees—in other words, a second Lavender Scare.

LGBTQ federal workers brace for a McCarthyist purge
"They’re not asking people ‘Are you gay? Are you lesbian?’ They’re asking, ‘Who is participating in DEI?'"

“scrub your website of trans people to save your funding” MIGHT seem like the rational choice when it’s put to you, but if you agree the main lesson they learn is that you can be strong armed
NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services.
This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Today is my personal holiday, the Feast of the Unfortunate Lion. Please enjoy some unfortunate-looking lions. I love the look of critters illustrated by people who are going off of other people’s descriptions and questionable representations.

Caught some URI nonsense. Grateful for a work team who makes me cancel or reschedule meetings so I can rest. I feel like we are all trying to keep each other from burning out.
