If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

As an anti-vaxxer & anti-vaccine RFK Jr. is about to be INSTALLED by the spineless GOP Senate in Congress, TODAY would be a good day to get YOUR Covid and Flu vaccines, while you STILL can.

Never really wanted to use Apple Maps but turns out it would be the dumbest name change ever that made me leave Google.

That is such bullshit. People on medicaid aren't the problem. Corporate welfare and a broken taxing structure are. We need to return to the tax rates in place in the 1970's and corporations and wealthy individuals need to stop getting a pass. This has been creeping oligarchy!

What are good alternatives to Google Mail? For Mac users. And if everyone has your Gmail, how do you change all of that? One by one?
Google updated its Calendar application, and removed Pride Month and Black History Month from its application. Fuck Google.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job
This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake

The rush to destroy things like USAID and other agencies before lawsuits can stop them is to make it moot. When our stupidly slow judicial system finally moves to stop them it will be far too late. If all 10,000 USAID employees are home and projects abandoned it’s done. It’s evil.

They’ll FIND OUT at the gas pump, at the grocery store, at the mechanic shop, at the construction site, at the computer store, at the phone store… #tariffs
As any Freshman economics major will tell Donald, tariffs are imposed on the IMPORTING NATION—NOT the exporting nation. This means AMERICAN businesses will now pay 25% more for many essential goods and raw materials they import from abroad. (1/4)
npr.org NPR @npr.org · Feb 1
BREAKING NEWS: Starting Tuesday, nearly all imports from Canada and Mexico will be charged a 25% tariff, while goods from China will be charged a 10% tariff.

If you work in healthcare and can’t (or won’t) wear a mask for your patient… you need to find another job.

Wearing a mask should not be optional. If a patient makes arrangements in advance, has their chart noted as “masks required” and you still say “No”?

You don’t belong in patient care

I dragged my ass into Meals on Wheels for my kitchen shift today. Lunch was roasted chicken with apples and herb gravy, roasted potatoes, and mixed vegetables.
We sent out 737 meals, 169 special meals, and 574 frozen meals today.
I am a wreck, but our volunteers were kind enough not to comment.

Trans Travel Ban???

Is Trump’s executive order a travel ban for trans people, in effect if not in name? This trans woman says it is.

It's really dystopian to see how digitizing everything, which was supposed to keep records safe, is instead being used to quickly purge information. We should have known I guess, but cripes.

‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB".

The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.

my little brother was one of the fatal fentanyl overdoses that is being used to justify tariffs on Mexico and Canada, and I can't think of a more cynical and disrespectful exploitation of a tragedy that has touched almost every family in this country

The Trump Regime scrubbing health care data from federal websites is going to directly kill seriously chronically ill and acutely ill children and adults across the United States.

Doctors rely on this information to make life and death treatment decisions.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

I needed to go to ER tonight, but I was totally incapacitated from stomach pain and vomiting. My caregiver is too elderly to drive at night + lives an hour away. An ambulance terrifies my rescue pup and she has seizures despite 3 meds for them. I was too sick to drive. #transplant

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

🛬UPDATE—Airport control tower was understaffed at time of DCA airport crash—one controller was working 2 different tower positions, normally done by 2 people—which FAA memo says was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic”. ➡️We should not downsize the FAA

Here's a clip from 2009, when President Obama spoke about the Continental Airlines crash -- the LAST time we had an airline crash with fatalities in America.

He didn't blame Bush.
He didn't blame Reagan.

He just consoled America.
A REAL Commander in Chief.

You can't beat a kid into not being neurodivergent
So in looking back for a quote from the Kennedy hearing today, I just realized I missed the part where Sen. Tuberville appears to endorse "butt whipping" via belt over medication for ADHD in children.
