I think we should have a four day work week but instead of a longer weekend we should just have Wednesdays off. We need a breather

It’s not going to hurt you to use someone’s correct pronouns, add a ramp to your restaurant, or learn some basic phrases in Spanish. Americans act like including someone means they’re surrendering part of themselves.

I truly cannot imagine anything less helpful right now. This is nothing more than the nihilist's version of obeying in advance.

It's an agreed order, signed by the judge; if the federal government doesn't "honor" it, they are violating the order and will be back in court for a contempt hearing.

And, to be clear, it is just a line down the "galaxy brain" meme to ask, "What if they don't follow the court?"

Well, that would be lawless, and the plaintiffs would go to court to hold them in contempt.

And we'd go from there.

Tuck makes a few good points here but specifically "It is impossible to build coalitions with other people when we are singularly obsessed with ourselves." You can take this to be a scold (you are not special) but it's actually a gift (you are not alone)
I think a lot of folks could benefit from taking a minute to read this from @tuck.bsky.social (and support Gender Reveal while you’re there).

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

UPDATE: This bill was defeated today in the Senate.

This is a victory for government accountability and our First Amendment rights.
aclu.org ACLU @aclu.org · Jan 28
A dangerous bill sanctioning anyone who works with the International Criminal Court is moving quickly through Congress.

H.R. 23 would harshly punish lawyers, academics, and rights advocates — and their family members — for helping the ICC pursue justice for war crimes and other atrocities.
