Could have stopped that question before the word “on”

I laughed harder at this than I expected 😂

“Professional grade logistics” makes me think he was always THAT dude in every group project who never did shit and never bothered himself to wonder how anything got done.

The Sons of Liberty would like a word.

Can attest to this. Sadly, I’d kind of been in this camp in my younger days (not my parents’ fault, they were never conservative- I was just a real life Alex Keaton). It - again, sadly, but better late than never - took grad school to finally learn how to put myself in other people’s shoes.

Damn, somehow I never made this last connection. Good point.

I guess I really need to find someone in accounting, because apparently I’ve got about 8 months of back pay to sort out (and have been out of paying work for just about as long) 😂

“As necessary” … I suspect it’s been part of their plans/aspirations all along. Not white? Not Christian? Not straight? This administration probably already has a plan to dispose of you.

50 year old white retired navy officer, and I’ve been volunteering with our local Indivisible organization since April. It’s always heartening to see other folks “breaking the mold,” as it were.

Think I saw one of those for every division last night.

Yeah, the whole “don’t show up to a protest armed” as if these weren’t the same folks lionizing Rittenhouse.

And stuff like “if she was such a good mother she wouldn’t risk orphaning her kid by being there” regarding Renee Good.

Real class people. My circle has contracted a lot these past years

This - and the replies - has been great to see. I haven’t even made it all the way through and already shared the link in a chat with some friends who aren’t all on Bluesky who could stand to see this dose of hope.

Yeah, what little I still see from some extended family and former colleagues in an earlier profession/questionable life choice suggests plenty are downright enthusiastic about all this, and others may be tentatively clutching their pearls but still victim-blaming while they do so.

I suspect most of the ones I knew are currently downright giddy.
