I have no idea how many people have applied or what I'm up against. I have no professional brewery experience, just kitchen and barista experience from 20 years ago. But they know that and apparently my passion for homebrewing made them interested enough for Interview #1.

The owner (who also does basically everything right now) will be going to LA for a couple weeks in late Spring, and they want someone who can be trained up fast so when he leaves they can literally make the beer and do everything while he's gone.

This job looks incredible. It's a Brewery Production Assistant position and they basically need help with *everything.* Everything from cleaning and inventory management to making the beer.

I had my interview with the brewery on Friday, and I think it went really well! Lasted an hour and they said they'd be meeting Tuesday to discuss who they want to call back for a second interview, so hopefully I'll hear by mid-next week.

THEY'RE GOING TO ISSUE PERMANENT VISA BANS TO TRANS VISITORS TO THE US.

This isn't just for athletes. The directive as stated applies to all visa applications made by trans folks and declare it material fraud to use a different gender marker on applications.

Treating Elon Musk as the equivalent of a malign foreign actor seems to be the only prudent approach at this moment.
New — HHS just got another email with guidance stating that they aren’t required to respond to the 5 bullets email, but if they do they should follow specific guidelines including:

“Assume that what you write will be read by malign foreign actors and tailor your response accordingly.”

what you’re saying is that the fascist have complete control over peoples government email addresses/chats and are now just searching to see what kind of dirt they can bring to fight to target citizens with nazi violence?
you can downplay this all you like, but this is how state violence starts
Over on X, Chris Rufo is out with a series of leaked internal chats between trans intelligence analysts at NSA, where they talked about things like coming out, bottom surgery, and their sex lives. So yeah, employees should be afraid of things like that even if they’re not fired.

LGBTQ federal workers say they're terrified they're about to be fired for their gender identity, sexual orientation, or past efforts to support other queer and trans employees—in other words, a second Lavender Scare.

Those are brownshirts and concentration camps and the people writing these stories need to start calling them what they are.
A group of prominent military contractors, including former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince, has pitched the Trump White House on a proposal to carry out mass deportations through a network of “processing camps” on military bases and a “small army” of private citizens empowered to make arrests.
Documents reveal how military contractors want to take over mass deportations
The group, led by Blackwater veteran Erik Prince, has close Trump ties.

Absolutely correct.

Call your House representatives. Write them actual letters. Show up at their local offices. Flood the zone.

Demand they draw the line while they still can.
If Congressional Democrats vote for a budget and debt ceiling increase while Trump and Musk are breaking very serious laws and usurping Congress's power of the purse, it'll be enablement. Validation. A pathetic path to historical infamy.
I strongly agree with @brianbeutler.bsky.social. Take a stand.

The media is what brought us here to begin with. It’s infuriating what’s happening with them!
They sure didn’t have an issue with constantly airing about Hillary for her ‘email server’, or Joe for his ‘age’.
The entire media apparatus is complicit in the hostile takeover of our country!

He is talking about trafficking in prison labor. This is another word for slavery.

He is talking about trafficking human beings.
He says he is not sure if they can legally do it, but if they can, he would "Do it in a heart beat" He says: "we could make deals where we get these animals out of the country." For a "small fee"

If true, it won’t be long until Democratic leaders fear the same thing.

The Republicans let these vampires into the house. Put THEIR pitifully cowardly necks on the front lines.
Morning Joe reporting that Senate Republicans are falling into line on Trump’s worst nominees because they fear for their personal safety and the safety of their families. If true, our democracy is now effectively lost.
