Not to sound like the oracle of Delphi or anything, but a bald eagle getting into a fight with a Canada goose and the goose winning is absolutely an omen from the Gods.

Having to fight Elon Musk at DOGE before we’ve even battled Trump feels like having to defeat the forces of Saruman first at Helm’s Deep.

California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order:
"It does nothing"
"It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach"
Will not comply.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

Thank you, I’ll have plenty! I used to crochet a long time ago and just started knitting a few weeks ago.
It’s been a great way to stop doomscrolling and reflect 😌
I’ve finished a Sophie scarf and have started a sweater. (I’m waiting for more purple yarn & am casting on a new cardigan as I wait 🫣)
