Debbi S

I messaged you. Lol

Your dog doesn't look familiar, so if we know each other, it's pre-pets. 😂 But anything is possible in the Jewish game of 6 degrees of separation. Especially in Smaltimore!

SAVE DOCS (eOPF, mypay, benefeds, PMAS, CV, telework agreement, contacts). Save/BCC termination email.

Opening a termination email triggers lockout countdown. DO NOT OPEN until ready.

Not all of this applies to everyone, but if you're a service member or government employee, it may behoove you to follow the parts of this that are applicable to you.

Caroline Kennedy's letter to the Senate on her cousin RFKJr. is devastating. It is an absolute condemnation of his fitness for office, his lack of character as a human being and must have been deeply painful to write. Any Senator who reads this and votes for this man should be run out of office.

Not read, because I immediately assume it isn't going to be accurate and it will lean towards supporting Trump, Musk, and the new administration. Why? Because Bezos owns WaPo.

Musk is working on replacing contract workers in the Department of Education with AI chatbots, aiming to use generative AI to handle student and parent inquiries.

Musk’s website, DOGE, leaked classified government information to the entire world. NOFURN [Not Releasable to Foreign Nationals] information on their website about the [intelligence community] headcount has prompted a scramble as people check whether their information has been accessed.

Opinion | Trump Can Ban Transgender Birth Certificates Most states allow natives to alter their recorded sex, an affront against science and a danger to women.

Ilya Shapiro, famed victim of cancel culture, icon of free thought, celebrates administration banning birth certificates recognizing trans people.

A hearty “fuck you” to everyone who bought his transparent shtick.

From @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America

So this is the book that explains, in excruciating detail with great storytelling, exactly HOW the systems were set up to favor mediocre white dudes in the first place.

Or, as Oluo puts it, how the system came to work as designed.

For those who hate making phone calls, especially to senators and congressmen, check out the "5 calls" app. It's available on both Apple and Android. I have nothing to do with it, but I've found it helpful. You select the issue (like Musk), and it provides a script for you to use.

NEW: Federal workers are starting to receive a copy of the court's restraining order against the Trump administration barring the regime from freezing federal grants and financial assistance. Excellent work, and worth the read:

Dr. Oz. Seriously?! WTF.

Texas Education Board to Vote on Bible-Infused Lessons in Public Schools A new curriculum would focus on Christianity more than other religions. A kindergarten lesson on the Golden Rule, for example, would teach about Jesus and his Sermon on the Mount.

House Republican introduces measure to ban transgender women from female bathrooms in Capitol Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina introduced the resolution as Rep.-elect Sarah McBride, D-Del., is set to become the first out transgender member of Congress.

Absolutely vile.

You have no idea how many times I have confused them. 😂

Finally at the point where I could put the sleeves on string. A few more inches to knit before I join the v-neck sides together and start knitting in the round. The sweater is Ruth by Cocoknits. #knit #knitting #handknit

Hello from Debbi.

Check that you're current with vaccines and get those that you need before inauguration. Just in case.

I switched last year and I love it. The informational charts and graphs are fantastic.
