Was literally talking to the union representing federal air traffic controllers earlier today about how there’s already a major shortage of air traffic controllers and the resignation offers they all just got from OPM could seriously endanger public safety.

Small groups of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world The most effective resistance to the Trump administration won’t be en masse, but undergroundβ€”and it will start in small communities

Through my activism, I’ve realized it’s organizing, not public protesting, that forces lawmakers to act. So I’m not alarmed that people aren’t in the streets (yet). The most effective resistance isn’t en masse, but undergroundβ€”and it starts in communities.

Since not a day goes by without someone saying I’m β€œjust another big account that doesn’t say what to do.” I’ll once again say what I think you can do.
1) 30 states have local/state elections starting in Feb. Get involved/run.
2) Join a special issue group like civil rights, abortion or immigrant

Who Are These Federal Workers Trump Wants to Fire? The civilian workforce has barely grown in recent decades, is scattered across the country and accounts for a small fraction of US spending.

Reality for Musk/DOGE: β€œWhile federal spending has grown sharply and regulation is arguably in need of correction, there is no such long-run trend in federal employment, and firing lots of federal workers would not in itself result in much savings or deregulation.”

Milton’s β€˜double Empathy Problem’: A Summary for Non-academics - Reframing Autism Currently, Autism is classified as a diagnosable β€˜neurological disorder’. Most non-autistic people think of Autistic people as β€˜lacking empathy’ and […]

Double-empathy problem:

Because autistic and non-autistic people experience the world and express emotions differently, it can be difficult for autistic and non-autistic people to experience cognitive empathy for one another, which can cause misunderstandings.

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of β€œprotecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

with exceptions, bluesky is pretty efficient at handling reports. but reporting is tough cos a huge % of reports are people beefingβ€”not real issues. how to set a serious report apart?

give context: don’t make them scroll posts

Kamala Harris once wrote , β€œIt is misleading to suggest that impenetrable cybersecurity is possible; our focus must be on … detecting … any effort to harm us,” and we β€œcan’t afford to be naive.” She knows MAGAs breached voting systems in swing states. She shld request recounts & ballot images. 1/

Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD

I’m so disgusted and so sorry you have to even think/ worry about this. πŸ’” If this happens, someone needs to require gender neutral bathrooms in all federal buildings. We should have them anyway.

Decapitation Strike Preserving America from Trump's Appointments

"Each of Trump's proposed appointments is a surprise. It is comforting to think that he is simply a vengeful old man, lashing out. This is unlikely. He and Musk and Putin have been talking for years. The whole idea of his campaign was that this time he had a plan"
