Employees at our suburban Chicago Meijer have been ordered to not wear their diversity shirts or cover DEI terms with tape if they do. We are heartbroken as they were our answer to Target. I can't find online corroboration but we heard it first person today at our local store.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important:
Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

I think the reason people are frustrated with Democratic leaders is that they expect these elected representatives to act like a real disaster is happening, which it is. Four-day weekends and bratwurst junkets in Munich kind of undercut that

Reminder once more that the President has ZERO authority to reallocate funds already appropriated by Congress for a particular purpose.
And an unelected billionaire oligarch has even less than ZERO authority to hijack & reallocate funds.
This is a coup. A hostile takeover. A Constitutional crisis.

Painting over values at an FBI office. If one image encapsulates the current state, this might be it.
The values are still there, just obscured. Short of cutting out that wall, they will remain there. Our values may be under threat & may feel obscured but we can hold the line. We can push back.
