Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

“Go back to your country”: a close read(ing) ✊🏾✊🏾

Or your sponsors should at least pay more considering how many times I have to rewind before my brain accepts your input 😂

I appreciate all of the great coverage of the fucky indictments of Tish James and Jim Comey, but I'd really appreciate if those speaking on the matter would verbally distinguish between their names better, e.g. "Mr. Comey and AG James." My AuDHD struggles w/ one's first name being the other's last.

"James Comey (to scale)" 🤣

Target(ing) autistics? 🧐 Target's new "10-4" policy is an aggressive act against autistic customers and employees alike. Just another reason not to shop at Target. thehill.com/business/560...

Looks like I'm getting out of Dodge at just the right time. oof.

Screenshot of a text message alert from the Massachusetts (MA) Department Of Transitional Assistance's (DTA) Centralized Office, which administers the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Food Stamps Benefits Program, timestamped received on 1:35pm EST on Monday, October 27th, 2025, which states the following: "[DTAMSG]: President Trump is currently choosing to not issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table. You also may have your benefits further cut starting in November because of changes Congressional Republicans and President Trump enacted in the "One Big Beautiful Bill".

Screenshot of the official website of the government of Massachusetts' (MA), Department Of Transitional Assistance (DTA), which administers the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Food Stamps Benefits Program, titled "Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About November 2025 SNAP Updates." The key section featured here reads as follows: "QUESTION: Can Massachusetts use state funds to cover the federal gaps? ANSWER: SNAP brings in more than $210 million dollars monthly in federal funding. The state budget cannot absorb even one month of federal failure. Massachusetts is working closely with community-based partners to support residents who are impacted by the Trump Administration's decision to withhold SNAP benefits, including through state-funded resources such as food banks, Healthy Incentives Program (HIP) benefits, and state-funded cash benefits like Temporary Aid To Families With Dependant Childre  (TAFDC) and Emergency Aid To The Elderly, Disabled, & Children (EAEDC)."

Screenshot from the Massachusetts (MA) Department Of Transitional Assistance's (DTA) official "DTA Connect" Cell Phone App, which displays my personal "History Of Benefits" tab, showing that last month of October 2025's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Food Stamps Benefits amount was $298.00!

I'm one of the people who will not be receiving my usual SNAP Food Stamps Benefits for the upcoming month of November 2025, and Massachusetts just confirmed today that they will not be paying even a partial amount to those of us who are state residents either.

Fireworks over the U.S. Capitol and Washington Monument with the text, "happy fiscal new year"

Happy fiscal new year! Having participated in the deferred resignation program, I am now officially unemployed after nearly two decades of service to the American people.

"some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily execute civilians" says today's New York Times, continuing their long tradition of whitewashing fascism

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

"Expedited service can take 2-3 weeks" it says 12 weeks after I submitted my application 😭😭😭 (but UPS says it's coming tomorrow, so it's all good now... aside from paying $60 for nothing).

Except when they're stressed. My last orange kitty let out what my bestie aptly described as "hot garbage farts" on the regular once we cohabitated with bestie's kitty 😅

Ugh. State is still stalling on my X gender passport with name update. Just called and received confirmation they've had everything they needed from me for more than a month, despite having paid expedited processing fees for a travel date that was before they even asked for info they already had. 🤬

ah, well

Terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione dismissed by New York state judge A state judge said the evidence presented to the grand jury doesn’t support charges of murder in the first and second degrees under the state’s terrorism statute.

Breaking news: A Manhattan judge has dismissed terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione, who is charged in connection with the ambush-style killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

I'm not opposed in principle. Today, some of the most revolutionary technologies we've funded with public dollars vanish into patent trolls' and incumbent market leaders' portfolios rather than entering the market when their initial developers fail to sustainably penetrate the market.

[cite_start]A screenshot of the first page of a court document from the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts[cite: 3]. [cite_start]The document is titled "MEMORANDUM AND ORDER" [cite: 43] [cite_start]and was filed on September 3, 2025[cite: 1]. The document lists two related civil actions: * [cite_start]**Civil Action No. 25-cv-11048-ADB**: President and Fellows of Harvard College, et al., Plaintiffs, v. United States Department of Health and Human Services, et al., Defendants[cite: 4, 5, 14, 17, 21]. * [cite_start]**Civil Action No. 25-cv-10910-ADB**: American Association of University Professors - Harvard Chapter, et al., Plaintiffs, v. United States Department of Justice, et al., Defendants[cite: 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 36]. [cite_start]The order is from Judge Burroughs, D.J.[cite: 44]. [cite_start]The text begins by identifying the plaintiffs in the consolidated cases[cite: 45].

A screenshot of pages 81 and 82 from a court order, detailing the judge's rulings and the relief granted. **Rulings:** * **For Harvard's case:** The court grants Harvard's motion for summary judgment on several counts, including violations of the First Amendment and Title VI. It grants in part Harvard's motion regarding the "Freeze Orders" and grants in part the defendants' motion regarding the "Termination Letters," citing a lack of jurisdiction. * **For the Organizational Plaintiffs' case:** The court grants the plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment on their First Amendment claims and denies the defendants' cross-motion on several counts. The ruling on the "Freeze Orders" and "Termination Letters" mirrors the one in Harvard's case. **Ordered Relief:** 1. The court vacates and sets aside the Freeze Orders as arbitrary and capricious. 2. The court vacates and sets aside the Freeze Orders and Termination Letters as violations of the First Amendment. 3. The court vacates and sets aside the Termination Letters as violations of Title VI. 4. The court permanently enjoins the defendants from implementing the Freeze Orders, Termination Letters, and their unconstitutional conditions.

JUST IN: Harvard won summary judgment against the Trump administration with the court finding that the admin violated Harvard's 1st amend. rights. The court has vacated the funding freeze orders and termination letters and issued a permanent injunction.

While the EO (and court rulings permitting its implementation to continue) stripped bargaining rights from most of the government, not all agencies have yet "terminated" (insofar as they purport to have this authority under the bullshit circumstances) their covered CBAs. nyti.ms/4g9gstG

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:

As am I (road trip and all), but mostly because of the cab of the moving truck I was driving was broken into but they failed to break my lock on the roll door. I still have that lock. It's very easily picked by even a novice with rudimentary tools, but no one ever seems to go that route. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bass: I just signed an executive directive that puts all city departments and leadership on notice to protect Angelenos—essentially from the federal government.

We’re also filing a FOIA request because we want to know: Who are these masked men, and why are they masked in the first place?

I've been anticipating an orderly shutdown since the budget proposal came out. The proposed budget barely covers the mortgage for most offices.

Love his opinion, hate his opinion, whatever. But if you can’t bring yourself to celebrate Mahmoud Khalil’s release as a victory for free speech, you’re on the wrong side of history.

Keep us posted! Maybe your experience will be better. I was at the DC passport agency.

Welp, I just left the passport office and they were decidedly not informed of the court order and maintaining business as usual. Offered copies of the court orders, but they declined. They're sending it to their policy office. Guess we'll see what happens from there.
