Hey @podbean.bsky.social please stop recommending fucking Ben Shapiro to me to listen to. I'm sorry but #fascist who spew #hatespeech should be deplatformed, not given a megaphone. And if you can't get that through your head, I'll take my business elsewhere.

Scandal after scandal at the #StateLibrary of Victoria. Exhibitions interfered with & cancelled by people who've never worked at a library, museum, or institution with public requirements, hired without scrutiny. Contempt for staff knowledge. Researchers discouraged from expert staff consultation.

If you're looking for a book that will scare the pants off you, may I suggest "Prequel" by Rachel Maddow. It's her research into how Nazis tried to influence elections and subvert the US government during WWII. Very topical considering current events. #fascism #americanfascism #nazism #ww2

This unwavering commitment is a key reason the Trump administration will continue to attack workers and unions.
But remember that there is courage — and hope — in solidarity.

Across the country, America’s unions peacefully stood in solidarity with @seiuca.bsky.social President David Huerta & showed that if you come for one of us, you come for all of us.

Same for state and local government employees. We have trainings on what is specifically allowed and not allowed. If it can be called a sandwich, its not permissible. Literally sandwiches are our barometer of teaching in official training courses.
But a flying palace is okay.

For some context - fed employees can’t even accept a SANDWICH when having a meeting with non-feds. But yeah, sure this isn’t a problem AT ALL 🙄

It’s been a difficult week with the news of the #Transban being upheld by #SCOTUS. My wife is losing her job. Our whole family is losing our healthcare, our home, and our income. And the Navy is losing one of the finest and dedicated Information Technology specialists it’s ever had. #FuckTrump
