A friend in the neighborhood just sent me a picture from in front of Schumer’s building.
(I’d join them if I didn’t have a soup to attend to right now!!)

BREAKING: I’m hearing from several VA employees that they have been locked out of VATAS - thats how employees request leave - like administrative leave to file EEO complaints. It also shows your work schedule and OT. If this has happened to you, please reach out using the contact info in my bio.

And this ain't an "i told you so." It's a "we didn't get here on accident. And people who had an opportunity to report on it chose to act like it wasn't going to happen and are now taking zero accountability for their part in it."

You let conservatives convince you that telling the truth was "activism." Now you in the same boat, finding out DEI included you, too. And if the rules of journalism prevented you from saying the truth because it would APPEAR one-sided, then journalism is useless.

"No one ever thought this would happen" is dishonest and journalists not pointing that out are doing you all a disservice. Many people said word for word this would happen. You just didn't respect those people. And you need to be honest instead of the feigned surprise for sympathy.

I might have neurosurgery coming up and my insurance is already being a dick about less expensive stuff. So yeah this really sucks. Plus I live in Hawaii which is already expensive.

Today a reporter reached out to me after seeing posts I made on Bluesky about what’s going on at NIH.

Keep typing, keep talking, keep shouting, because your voice goes beyond the void.

So Target got real comfy thinking us millennial moms won’t take our basic girl bits to Costco & Aldi after they cut DEI programs to satisfy the new administration.

Big mistake. Huge.

the church pete hegseth is a part of, the CREC, is led by a lunatic who gives talks about "the lost value of sexism" and wants to drive women out of public life. this fully accords with hegseth's public comments. and he's been selected to run the largest corporation on earth

As DHS Secretary, Kristi Noem would enforce Trump’s mass deportation agenda.

In her own state, she’s banned from tribal lands after spreading lies: cartels “holding up shop” on reservations and are “recruiting tribal members.”

Tribal leaders see it what it is: racist, dehumanizing fear-mongering.

Police use facial recognition as it was never intended: As a shortcut to finding and arresting suspects without further evidence
Confident in unproven facial recognition technology, sometimes investigators skip steps, and at least eight Americans have been wrongfully arrested, a Washington Post investigation found.

I’m sorry, this might be a great investigation, but “as it was never intended” is obscene. This is precisely how many people specifically and repeatedly told us — warned us — it would be used.

It Must Suck to Be Such a Whiny Little Bitch Since 2007, Jezebel has been the Internet's most treasured source for everything celebrities, sex, and politics...with teeth.

One of the richest men in the world went on Joe Rogan's podcast to complain that companies don't have enough "masculine energy" anymore, whatever that means.
