After the NYTimes published the op-ed "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?", I remembered that a NYTimes Guild report in 2021 found "Overall, median pay for women was $10,000 less per year than for men, meaning women earned roughly 92 percent of what men earned." nytimesguild.org/papers/2021-...

Anyway, there are moments of crisis and scandal when historically excluded people can start to break through. It is easy for those breakthroughs to be limited and mitigated by pre-existing hierarchies. We need to both see the break throughs and support the structural changes.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.
I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Starving people while building a massive ballroom isn't wise.
The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.
They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.
They’re refusing.
Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.
Starvation as a policy choice.

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.
NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

Another disturbing video out of IL, reported by Block Club Chicago: agents/thugs are seen detaining a man, pressing him to the ground as he gasps, “I can’t breathe.” A crowd quickly forms, begging them to stop.
We are outraged over the use of excessive force in immigration & federal operations.🤬

This is what's crazy to me I have never really been an early adopter but I've always liked technology and I've always been interested in advancements in my field and tried to stay current... But I can recognize a wrecking ball when I see one. This is not advancement This is destruction of everything
And if you mention it to your colleagues, they look at you as the old person who hates technology. Never mind you‘ve mastered all the tech you needed for the job & life -and then some- up to this point

Third party funds must be deposited in the U.S. Treasury and appropriated by Congress and apart from that I believe service members aren’t allowed to accept outside compensation so
Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."
