πŸ’”πŸ€¬ It appears that the executive director of NSGC stopped this, being condescending and patronizing to the first time attendee students when they didn’t have others around. I’m furious. #nsgc25 #GeneChat

Trump & The Press: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
YouTube video by LastWeekTonight Trump & The Press: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

Just watched a couple of great segments regarding dishonest journalism -
Last Week Tonight With John Oliver (below), and The Daily Show with John Stewart in which he held both parties to account (youtu.be/LFeUo-nOxQU?...).

My mood is set to β€œhumor through the bullshit.”

There's something so darkly funny about AI software coming for writing jobs by generating text that also implies jobs like "chief editor at FirePitBase.com" exist

Slow down and block everything. Whip the democrats into getting on board with legal obstruction.

Present bills. Continually.

Organize democrats into coordinated sequential or concurrent acts of resistance.

Be a goddamned leader and LEAD the party.

Just a few general things off the top of my head

What $7.25 buys you in 2025 Americans who work 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, at the federal minimum wage no longer make enough money to keep themselves out of poverty.

The $7.25 federal minimum wage is a poverty wage in every state.

Meanwhile S&P 500 CEOs made $40k/hr in 2024.

There’s a minimum wage because employers would pay less if they could, but no maximum wage because the rich write our laws to benefit the rich.

Beyond vital political stakes, it also looks like admin misread the narrative, too. They tried to pitch β€œMS-13 illegal” and assumed story would end there.

Instead it’s become a daily, episodic, human-interest and court drama about a wrongfully deported loving husband, union-member and caregiver.

Letter from social security

Letter from social security

Hard to believe this letter is real. Yet it seems to be. It was sent to a 96-year-old widower. Who has no idea why. And no capacity to get thru to the clogged social security customer service.

Trump is a very violent man. He’s telling the court to πŸ–•off. This is fascism.
He must be removed from office. When is someone, just anyone, from the GOP going to snap their balls back on and stand up for the rule of law, democracy, decency, or morality?
I’ll wait…

I said it before and I’ll say it again: Target not only turned its back on diversity it spit in our faces. My wife and I haven’t been back since January β€” and we won’t be. We take our money where people like us are seen, valued, and respected.

SSA shifts to X posts for official messaging after cuts to communications staff SSA is once again walking back plans that would have limited the agency's level of phone support to beneficiaries.

1/ The SSA was just moved to X for official updatesβ€”because DOGE teens slashed comms staff. Only 138,000 follow SSA on X. Meanwhile, 73 million rely on benefits. Most are seniors, not social media users. This isn’t modernizationβ€”it’s Muskification.

When did takeover become a synonym for theft.The rich can take from the US= 36 trillion in debt. The rich are get tax breaks, bailouts and property. Is that why even a casino owner running a no fail business managed to fail? Maybe the system favors taking.

The modern definitions of the term do not erase the long history of gender-nonconforming, third gender, non-binary, and two-spirit individuals. Maybe take this day to learn about our history? guides.library.duq.edu/transpopulat...
