Part of one finding comfort with oneself is feeling their feelings not trying to mask and avoid and become more mindful. Think this effects all genders and is masculine as well

Yes. It’s so toxic that lying - in a fantastical and easily disprovable way - carries no moral opprobrium. When did this become ok?

It’s one of the reasons we’re so exhausted.

“We take the extraordinary step of writing this piece because we are alarmed about the risks of arbitrary and capricious political control of federal payments, which would be unlawful and corrosive to our democracy.” Shouldn’t treasury be nonpartisan & secure ?!?

So this is terrifying… is it legal and what does that mean ongoing?
DOGE operative Marko Elez got the ability to alter US Treasury payment system code on Feb 1, WIRED's sources say.

For days, Trump officials fed members of Congress and the press a different story.

Elez is out now for posts reading "I was racist before it was cool" and "normalize Indian hate."

Letitia James of New York and 11 other state attorneys general said that they would sue over a cost-cutting initiative that had given young aides to Elon Musk broad access to the federal government’s most fundamental computer systems.

our collective team is the country not a political party well past time for everyone in congress to protect the powers of their branch of government let alone our nation, that’s their constitutional mandate, as far as I’ve interpreted it.
Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

@schiff.senate.gov just tried leaving a VM … as your constituent I am very concerned about Elon Musk’s role in the American government, the access he and his team have been given to OPM and GSA seem illegal and maybe even a national security risk, these are opinions from my limited knowledge …

Wondering if MAGA is really MAW Making America Worse, noticing of Again is going back and will literally can’t. “We’re not going back” wasn’t just a Harris-Walz campaign message it’s reality every new day, hour, minute, second our beings move forward. I think it’s important our mindset moves forward
Pritzker: "He promised he was gonna lower costs & make us safer. He's done none of it. I realize he's only been in office 2 weeks, but it's gotten worse, not better. You think grocery prices have gone down? No, they've gone up bc of what he's threatening or what he's already put in place"

Jessica: He had a campaign rally in the middle of what should have been a somber occasion. And these DEI policies were put in place in 2013. He had every opportunity through his first administration to revoke them if he thought they were terrible, but he didn't.

This whole thread and replies from doctors, researchers. What does it mean to be the richest nation in the world if we freeze to stop innovation and helping people?
To help people understand the importance of NIH, share what you’ve used their funding for (in easily understandable terms).

I’ll start: my NIH postdoc funding helped me develop and test AI tools that could identify skin cancer across diverse skin tones.

Few material things can provide perspective. This does for me.

Photo of Otto Frank, returning to his family’s hiding place. In 1944, an informant betrayed them and the family was sent to Auschwitz.

His wife (Edith) was murdered, his daughters (Margot & Anne) died of Typhus.

Caroline Kennedy has written a scathing letter to US Senators about her cousin RFK Jr.

Despite her public profile, Kennedy is very private and it is highly unusual for her to speak about a family member this way.

The video of her reading the letter is six minutes long so I’ve linked it here.

Hope all these senators call her bluff, and the non-billionaire majority witnesses these threats and have the tools to decipher in the coming election cycles to make better choices for themselves, communities and us all.
1. Billionaire Nicole Shanahan, Robert Kennedy Jr.’s former running mate, is threatening U.S. senators who don’t vote to confirm him with political ruin.

Shanahan says she will spend her own money to ensure that they do not win their re-elections.

I went to Brooklyn to stand in solidarity with the owner of Miriam, an Israeli restaurant that became the target of antisemitic vandalism.

Jew-hatred will find no refuge in the City of New York. A hate crime against the Jewish community is a hate crime against all of us.
