Empathy, not cruelty

Compassion, not Cruelty. No ICE visibility brigade over Rte. 2

On the way out of Boston

MAKE HATE WRONG AGAIN.

Politics doesn’t have to be fueled by hate. Real progress comes when we replace cruelty with compassion, division with dialogue, and fear with understanding. Let’s bring empathy back into the conversation—our future depends on it.

His wife was dying, his federal job crumbling. It tested his faith — in God and Trump. One federal worker was rejected three times from the administration’s early resignation offer. Would he blame the president he voted for?

“Please have some compassion on my situation”

The cruelty and cowardice of federal management needs to be stressed.

They’re only out to save their own skins. No one is showing an ounce of compassion. Few are lifting a finger to help their employees.

“Trump signed an executive order calling for federal gov’t to share data across agencies, raising questions over whether he might compile a master list of personal information on Americans that could give him untold surveillance power… They have turned to one company: Palantir.” @sheeraf.bsky.social

DHS publishing an enemies list of Democratic politicians who dared to criticize their barbaric cruelty.

"One of the main enforcers of H-2A rules, the Labor Department's Wage and Hour Division, last year had one of the lowest levels of investigators since the H-2A program was launched in the 1980s ... If the Trump administration's proposed budget gets approved, it will make even further cuts."

Veterans’ Care at Risk Under Trump as Hundreds of Doctors and Nurses Reject Working at VA Hospitals Amid concerns about the stability of the agency, records show nearly 40% of the doctors offered jobs at the VA from January through March of this year turned them down — quadruple the rate of rejectio...

The VA is down 600 doctors and about 1,900 nurses so far this year, the first time the agency has seen net losses in years.

At several facilities, more than a third of the positions for doctors are unfilled.

‘Like working in a prison’: cuts, fear and understaffing at Trump’s labor department Morale has plummeted as staff charged with protecting US workers feel their core mission is being undermined

The Department of Labor is supposed to safeguard our workplace rights. But many of the department’s workers have left or been forced out from DOGE’s threats to federal workers. An understaffed and overstretched Department of Labor hurts ALL workers.

Holy shit - shoutout to these brave pilots who are doing what every single one of us need to be

Action: Phone zap! Call the Commonwealth Club and tell them to cancel the rest of Peter Thiel’s lecture series.

Here’s some phone numbers and a script:

There are so many people like Leland Dudek with the attitude: “Maybe if I cooperate and give them what they want, things will be better?”

No. This never works. Nothing good comes from being a collaborator.

“We’ve been looking for a messiah to bring in the end times,“ said a woman who called herself “Satan’s babygirl” and had a black upside-down cross painted on her forehead. “We believe Peter Thiel is the Antichrist we’re looking for.”

“If tech billionaires seek to spread Christianity, they should stop hunting Antichrists and reflect on the words of Jesus Christ, who urged his followers to practice empathy and forgiveness and to care for people rather than exploit and surveil them.”

This was the site of our first #TeslaTakedown, on Feb.13.

Later, one of our folks brought a Spirit Halloween banner.

May this be the end of the story for every one of them, & he a tiny footnote in the history of the fading madness we experienced on our way to a more just & sustainable world.

Person in devil costume with anti-Thiel posters

A familiar face makes an apearance at Peter Thiel’s Secret Antichrist Lecture in San Francisco.

A line of protestors has greeted the line of tech bros waiting to hear Thiel

First night of Peter Thiel’s “Antichrist” lecture series was met with protest in San Francisco

it is not civil when an evil person says evil things in a calm tone of voice.

conversely, it is not uncivil when a good person uses curse words to denounce evil things at the top of their voice.

it is evil to pretend not to understand this.

Screenshot of article excerpt: The Education Department also was concerned about other words in the application, said Adrian Klenz, who works with deafblind adults in the state. He said he has talked with state officials about the discontinuation of the grant. “I was told that apparently the administration is going through past grants and two words were flagged: One was transition and one was privilege,” Klenz said. “Transition — transitioning from childhood to adulthood. Privilege came up because a parent wrote a glowing review of staff that said what a privilege it was to work with them.” ProPublica obtained a copy of the grant application and confirmed that those words were included.

The Dept. of Education has pulled funding for programs in 8 states that support students with both hearing and vision loss.

A staffer at one program says he was told the Trump admin. took issue with 2 words on the grant application: “transition" and “privilege": www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Political violence.

Well said!

SFPD “let out-of-state cops run more than 1.6 million illegal searches of the city’s license-plate reader database — including at least 19 that were marked as related to” ICE.

The controversial surveillance technology is produced by Atlanta-based Flock Safety.

"We ... found that even a small group of folks, if well-organized, loud, creative, and consistent, can cause a remarkable amount of damage to a target in an urban area."

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath.

Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history.

So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

VA to set caps on its workforce, eliminate positions and tighten controls on hiring The Veterans Affairs Department secretary is creating a new "baseline" that cannot easily be exceeded, according to internal memo.

By cutting even more VA jobs Secretary Doug Collins is jeopardizing veterans’ essential health care services.

That’s not putting veterans first—it’s putting them last.

“Those promises, in the hands of a certain kind of court, can vanish without argument, without a hearing, without even a signed name”

“A majority of justices gave a silent blessing to immigration raids…that target people for looking Latino, speaking Spanish and working jobs that build this country”
