How is Trump citing security as the reason to outlaw collective bargaining of federal workers when his order notably excludes law enforcement? "'Police and firefighters will continue to collectively bargain,' the White House fact sheet states"

Several scholars of color and marginalized academics have said this several times on Twitter and here, but many people remain there because that’s where their communities reside and there are huge exit costs. Not everyone has the PRIVILEGE to leave a community behind.
I'm at a point where I'm honestly vaguely surprised that anyone who isn't an admitted fascist (or at least fascist-comfortable) and/or a corporate account is still actively on the former Twitter. The best time to have left is long gone, but the second-best time is now.

hi Bluesky sorry it’s been a minute, *gestures at news environment*, I went to Florida for 5 days and wrote the kind of long magazine essay that jschool students dream of, and I genuinely think you might learn something new from these young Floridians @teenvogue.bsky.social
How Young Floridians Are Fighting “Florida-Grown Fascism” Under Ron DeSantis

Just in case anyone missed it, the below came from Netanyahu's twitter account (making the colonial politics of what's happening real clear), then they deleted the tweet while Israel was bombing a hospital in Gaza, which killed 1000 people. None of this can pass
