Now NOAA has been seized — just like the Department of Treasury, USAID, and Department of Education.

I used to think if we had a maniac in office, our generals and admirals would be able to temper the 🐂💩. I don’t think we can rely on good leadership anymore, as this toxicity is leaching through the chain of command.
apnews.com/article/isra... Trump's suggestion the US 'take over' the Gaza Strip has endangered the hostages, made Americans more unsafe at home and abroad from terrorist attacks and put the world one step closer to full on war.

Trump's suggestion the US 'take over' the Gaza Strip is rejected by allies and adversaries alike
The comments by President Donald Trump came amid a fragile ceasefire, during which Hamas has been turning over hostages in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners.

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

Happy Black History Month!
America may be facing a SUPER villain, but we are the heroes of our own story.
With resilience, grace, and unapologetic power, we rise. No villain can dim our light—our magic is unstoppable. My story is called Unleashing Black Girl Magic: The Superpower Within!

Had a nice visit with the folks at Specialized Miami Coconut Grove yesterday. The crew there was great with the people visiting the store and were kind enough to indulge me for a quick chat about our experiences with Specialized and the industry in general. 10/10 recommend.

I wonder how active duty, reservists, veterans or dependents are feeling now that CINC is blaming, in part, the pilot and crew of the Blackhawk for this incident. It’s disturbing to see him try to place blame within hours of the event, before any investigation.

Sen. Schiff presses Kash Patel to look at the Capitol Police officers behind him. Patel doesn't.
"I want you to look at them if you can, if you have the courage … and tell them you're proud of what you did. Tell them you're proud that you raised money off of people that assaulted their colleagues."

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.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Bikes are fun. They don’t need to be, nor should the be this complicated for the vast majority of us who ride bikes. There’s some cool things happening in technology, but I feel like the industry is going in the wrong direction, making things more difficult for small independent shops

Someone could get used to this. Starting the day off with fresh fruit, poolside in the Florida Keys ain’t so bad.

In the beginning we had about 500sqft and an idea. I really just wanted to start a business that would allow me to work for myself and contribute a little to the bills at home. I didn’t realize how little “a little” would be. Within a couple months we leased another 500sqft next door

I always make sure to stop in and chat with Steve at All Keys Cycles when I’m down here. His store is a lot like what mine was in the beginning. We just want to keep people on their bikes. He’s usually has some gems as well. Might want to take this Trek Y bike home with me. #localbikeshop #keylargo

I took some time to visit World of Cycling in Homestead, a really unique shop. In addition to a great selection of bikes, they have a beer and wine bar as well a an extensive selection of beers and wine in coolers. The staff were great and the store was very clean.
