Mask ban at the top of Hochul’s priority list makes me fucking sick. This fucking ableist, eugenics-loving, civil rights trampling monster.

She’s also pushing to make it easier to involuntarily commit people.

This fucking world hates disabled people and I fucking hate it.
According to Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, Gov. Hochul has four main priorities she's pushing for in budget talks:
- Mask ban
- Discovery reform changes
- Involuntary commitment
- Bell to bell cellphone ban in schools

A majority of workers at Sesame Workshop asked for voluntary recognition of their union—only to be met with widespread layoffs.

Unacceptable. @sesameworkshop.bsky.social should reinstate these workers immediately and open good faith negotiations with the union.
We expect @sesameworkshop.bsky.social to uphold our shared values of fairness, transparency, and respect by recognizing our union and collectively bargaining over our working conditions and the terms of yesterday's layoffs.

States and their retirement funds own at least $8.7 BILLION of TSLA. Or well, they did. They've lost nearly $1.5 billion of that since the start of the year!

California state employees @calpers.bsky.social and teachers @wearecta.bsky.social had $3.1 BILLION together.

Is your state on this list?

People need to understand this is a smash and grab. The billionaire oligarchs are looting the government right now. While most services and functions will be privatized and made worse, the real valuable heist is the data government has that Elon is stealing to feed his AI company.

Yeah. During a presidential town hall, RFK Jr. said he would be creating “wellness farms” to send children and adults to in order to “organic farm” for “3-4 years” in order to ween them off opioids, Adderall, and antidepressants.

He is talking about work camps.
Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

So far, 13 state legislators and four New York City Council members have called for Adams to be removed from office. Many more have called for him to resign but have stopped short of calling for him to be removed.

@cityandstateny.bsky.social has the most up-to-date list:
With Eric Adams refusing to resign, who is calling for him to be removed from office?
After a former federal prosecutor accused Adams of a corrupt quid pro quo, some elected officials want Gov. Kathy Hochul to remove him from office.

It is shameful that Starbucks let it get to this point. We need CEO Brian Niccol to bargain a fair economic offer with our union NOW.

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week

and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you *will* do something about it

This is effectively a snitch on women, people of color, and LGBTQ folks policy. White men can just baselessly accuse any minority of being DEI and get them fired. They created a permission structure to bring back segregation as a matter of policy by calling it anti DEI.

What we’re not gonna do is get caught up in The Discourse. Don’t entertain their denial of what we see with our own eyes. Don’t negotiate who is worthy of human rights. Don’t legitimize their arguments by arguing with them. People do this shit every time something happens. Stop.
