Together, we are the spark that will ignite the fire to end tyranny. Stand tall, speak out, and may the forest be with us all! The fate of the galaxy—our USA—depends on those who dare to rise. We are the resistance! #nationalparknerd

To recap, Trump:
-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI
This is disastrous leadership.

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

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.

I had a relative compelled into service to the enemy. He mistranslated all the manuals for captured equipment so that The Thing Don't Work.
Mistranslate the manuals, whatever that means for you.

a key take away from reading a lot of history for me:
the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”

when you stop reading "believe women" as "women never lie" and see it as "one of the foundational myths of patriarchy is that women can never be trusted" it makes a lot more sense.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains

Here’s all the Democrats have to do on Trumps cabinet appointments: Vote no on all of them. The vast majority of people will not care and it shows your core supporters who are paying attention that you give no quarter to fascism.

So let us get this straight: Increasing the minimum wage is socialism, but corporations keeping wages low by forcing workers on to public assistance is the free market?

How is it that I can work solidly without stopping to eat lunch --- I didn't even take a bathroom break today -- and yet I'm no further down the massive pile of work to do than I was this morning, or yesterday, or the day before? I swear I'm not chasing my tail here . .

Chasing the piles of work on the to-do list like a hamster on a wheel.....it never ends it never stops it never slows down. At least the hamster doesn't have to wear pants.
