Jewish orgs Keshet and the Hebrew Free Loan Association are giving out interest-free loans to LGBTQ+ folks who need to re-locate but can’t afford it. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE JEWISH.

“The idea that people were having to pick up and flee their homes was something that resonated Jewishly.”
Persecuted for being LGBTQ+ in Trump country, they now have a chance to start over someplace new

9/ The tariffs are DESIGNED to create economic hardship. Why? So that Trump has a straight face rationale for releasing them, business by business or industry by industry.

As he adjusts or grants relief, it’s a win-win: the economy improves and dissent disappears.

During the night of 1st/2nd March Stalin made his biggest contribution to the working class, socialism and entire world by dying. He spent his last hours laying on the floor with pooped pants, which was a very fitting end to a vile monster like him. #stalin #fcktankies

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

We need to invent new curse words. Stronger ones. Obscenities that rend time and space

I am simply not going to make it through this historical period with just the curse words currently available

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

We've been so fortunate to have so many folks draw attention to our work on the prevalence and public health consequences of canine vaccine hesitancy. (CC: @stecula.bsky.social). I found this piece in @washingtonpost.com today to be especially thoughtful.
