And then I remember that, like myself, Jesus was not a fan of the rich, a champion for the poor, not a fan of tyranny, an ally to sex workers, and just a little bit gay.

So honestly. Yeah. I kinda agree "Y'all need some Jesus!"

This is an example of the fun pro-tips I have been getting added onto my correspondence with sales and support professionals at vendors I contract with.

I just keep hearing "Y'all need Jesus!"

The Emergency Is Here | The Ezra Klein Show
YouTube video by The Ezra Klein Show The Emergency Is Here | The Ezra Klein Show

Ezra Klein has finally joined us in reality.

Maybe he can now push the rest of the @nytimes.com to call it like it is.

Because to fight this, we need to appropriately name it.

This is a fascist regime.

This is a coup.

This countdown is literally on the website I'm looking at right now. Get ready for a wild ride, this could get a little bumpy

This is disgusting. Its time for a change, kiddos

Time to get out of the offices, and into the streets.

5 takeaways about NPR's reporting on the whistleblower report about DOGE at the NLRB Here's a summary of NPR's findings about the report that a whistleblower filed to Congress about how DOGE violated security protocols and could have removed sensitive labor data.

DOGE cannot be trusted with your personal data. Concerned citizens have said it, now so are whistleblowers.

Read NPR's reporting about DOGEs shifty, illegal, and downright dangerous use of your personal data, and how bad their security is. ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€

Hey DC friends!!!!

So. I am the child of an @iatse.bsky.social stagehand, on advance crew of a major musical. I know how to pack some equipment in and out.

I also had no A/V equipment this time last month. Now I have enough to start a small studio

The revolution may not be televised. But it will be live streamed

Urge Congress to Protect FEMA Urge Congress to Protect Communities by Reforming, Not Destroying, FEMA

#HandsOff FEMA!!!! The Dept of Homeland Security has created a plan to dismantle #FEMA, which provides critical disaster response services across the U.S.

@nlihc.bsky.social has created this tool to contact your Congress persons to tell them to protect #FEMA.

Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, stating, โ€œTHIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT.โ€ Approximately four hours later, he announced a 90-day pause on most trade tariffs, leading to a significant surge in the stock market. Do you think this is insider trading?

When people write pieces rooted in sex shame and with dim understandings of how cyberspace works it gets under my skin.

@cosendem.bsky.social's need to be cautious to not be giving into fearmongering and feeding into an internet security state by supporting SB 201.

True to form as an LGBTQ organization, @economics.lgbt will be getting flags for May Day and other future days of action in protest of the administration. [Eddie Izzard fans may ask: Do you have a flag?]

Help me pick: Light or Dark? And if I got more than one... would anyone be interested in one?

I love that I have a broad, eclectic, and esoteric appeal. My followers here, as is the case on the platform formerly known as Twitter, consist largely of economists and sex workers. I'm such a fan of strange bedfellows

Who benefits from an economic crisis? Trump does. He declares an economic emergencyโ€”then manufactures oneโ€”which allows him to expand his power. Under the National Emergencies Act (NEA), the president can unlock more than 120 special statutory powers. No wonder he was just out golfingโ€”crisis pays.

The energy at #HandsOff Boston was incredible. I apparently will have the chop up the footage a little bit more so it'll fit here on @bsky.app and @skylight.social though... Stay tuned for more content I suppose ๐Ÿ˜˜
