I do enjoy the idea of putting Vance in charge of something as loose and ill-defined as β€œfraud.” Looking forward to any fraud anywhere being a personal failure of that guy.

UPDATE:

In this environment it takes a lot of courage to report SA and file a police report.

THREE women, all political appointees, spoke up about Shawn DeRemer's gross behavior despite potential career repercussions and virtually no employment protections.

We believe them.

It’s cool how we solved the problem of bikes on the sidewalk by letting people ride essentially motorcycles on the sidewalk.

You don’t know me at all, but I’ll apply for this right now! And I’m letting you know! Take me back, Chicago. DC was one long misadventure.

If you just opened this app for the first time in a few hours, close it now. Trust me. There’s nothing here you want to see.

At this point, we need to be reading β€œThe Free Press,” as an ironic literary device of a name. Sorta like Todd Solondz’ β€œHappiness.”

Definitely think we’re gonna be saying β€œprobably in the files” long after anybody still remembers what that refers to. Like, somebody cuts you off in traffic or leaves a bad tip: β€œmotherfucker… [muttering] probably in the files…”

I’ve been workshopping a Swiffer Test of AI and new tech. Is this thing more revolutionary than the Swiffer? No? Ok, I’ll be ignoring it then.

Thanks Josh, ❀️. Will just also say that the sentiment I hear from people there today is, β€œsure, ok, but how will this article help or hurt my effort to KEEP TRYING to do good comms work that’s useful for people?”

Homeland Security Hires Labor Dept. Aide Whose Posts Raised Alarms

Career communications staff at the Dept of Labor were ignored and many resigned when a 21 year old starting posting white nationalist meme. Now he is going to DHS. This is who prospers under the clicktatorship.

Honestly believe that Richard Nixon himself would be out here calling for hearings and arrests if somebody killed the Washington Post sports section.

A Piece of Work | Kim Kelly Workers can no longer count on the Department of Labor.

Labor Secretary Frances Perkins’ first challenge in office was figuring out what to do with Section 24, a gang of immigration agents who were causing chaos with β€œhighly visible and extreme” raids on immigrant communities.

So she defunded them.

Goddamn, Kim. Just getting to this. It’s going in the book of things for my daughter, Francesca, to read so she understands why she’s named that. It’s the kind of thing that keeps my fury stoked. Thanks.

β€œIf we were living under fascism, this post would be a death sentence” deeply and dangerously misunderstands how fascism actually works. Fascism is not a light switch. It’s a process.

Was just reading a section of Eichmann in Jerusalem that describes this, the utter silence that swallows up any hint of bravery.

Nice little correction to anybody who felt slightly better after the TN results last night. Like clockwork.
