I passed a resolution condemning laundry.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.

This isn’t controversial.

A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

“Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.”

Social Media Post: Dear Every Cashier in America: the proper response to "thank you" is "you're welcome," not "no problem." And *you're* supposed to thank *me* 9/12/15, 8:31 PM Actually, the 'you're welcome/'no problem' issue is simply a linguistics misunderstanding. Older ppl tend to say you're welcome, younger ppl tend to say no problem. This is because for older people the act of helping or assisting someone is seen as a task that is not expected of them, but is them doing extra, so it's saying 'I accept your thanks because I know I deserve it." 'No problem', however, is used because younger people feel not only that helping or assisting someone is a given and expected, but also that it should be stressed that your need for help was no burden to them (even if it was). Basically, older people think help is a gift you give, younger people think help is an expectation required of them.

Huh. Surely people don't really get irritated by this. I always say "no problem" when someone thanks me.

(Soooo ... I guess this means I qualify as "younger people" then? *first pump*)

I don’t think “…ongoing efforts to downsize the government” accurately describes what’s going on, tbh

REMINDER: Cutting IRS spending is not a “cost-cutting” move.

Cutting the IRS lowers revenue.

It’s a move to protect the wealthy, like Elon Musk.

Auditing the rich returns $12 for every $1 spent.

I do not need the Dems to tell us how bad things are. We already read the news. I need them tell us *what they plan to do about it*

I loved this story and recommend it to my fellow book nerds!

Totally missed that, and it's so obvious now that I know. I need to reach that show now.
