thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning:

"As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

Request a copy of your records through a FOIA request. In California, employees have the right to do this. Does anyone know what the law is in Washington, D.C.?
NEW: I'm hearing from federal employees that they're being told to file a FOIA request if they want their employee records. Meaning they've been locked out of their records and have to file a Freedom of Information Act Request to get them. If you got this email, please contact me. Signal in bio.

Why can't any of the three-letter organizations take action from a logistical perspective?
i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

Central American democracies are far more effective than the United States, which seems controlled by oligarchies.

What a beautiful furry friend; he looks just like two of mine. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Today we said goodbye to Sam. 2009-2025
Sam delighted in fresh air from an open window & the small patch of sunlight that would slowly slide across the floor. He demanded scritches while eating. We absolutely loved him every. single. day. Our lives were made better by Sam sharing his with us.

I remember it like it was yesterday: it was 2011 at Jimmy John's, with Nine Inch Nails playing overhead. I felt like a hollow shell, drifting away on a light breeze.
Overheard the classic rock radio station running a ticket contest where you can choose if you want to win tix to Billy Idol or Nine Inch Nails. Very kind of them to recognize and welcome new generations of Dads into the classic rock radio umbrella.

the world they want is one where you're either unemployed or work an almost no wage job, you have almost no political input or self determination and you’re happy about it because you can get a t-shirt off temu for a $1
The plan is to crash the economy to suppress wages.

I enjoy it because I can swear freely without fearing a ban.
A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad.
