This was Kirsten Hillman

Late last night, with about 15 minutes notice to the Union, the NLRB’s HR sent an email adopting the terms of the forked-up resignation scam. HR also provided us a contract that appears to be drafted by AI or LegalZoom. As labor lawyers, we’re happy to go over this in detail. 🧵

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

It strikes me that both real journalism and our legislative branch do not work under emergency speed. It takes seconds to tear something down and hours, days, or weeks to respond effectively.

I fear the damage done to our country in such a short time will take decades to repair.

Canadian Ambassador was on fire yesterday on NPR. Camly laying down facts. https://www.npr.org/2025/01/30/nx-s1-5277019/kirsten-hillman-canadas-ambassador-to-the-u-s-discusses-trumps-approach . This one in particular struck me:

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

We say that people don't notice constitutional regime collapse because it comes on too slowly but I'm not sure how much faster it could be happening; we are literally at concentration camps on day 9.

I want him to golf as close to 100% of the time as possible. When he is golfing he is just grifting and not otherwise actively dismantling democracy.

You don't even need to sell the actual bridge anymore.... and now I am wondering why there isn't a $BRIDGE coin yet.

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak.

Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

Tablespoon of rice

It was ridiculous on each plate.

Not to downplay the severity of this, but he is likely to violate the law every day of office. By confirming Hegseth congress just said do whatever the hell you want, we won't stop you.

Welp. The GOP could not even pass the very lowest bar of courage.

Anyone who voted for him is either and idiot, a coward, or both.

I don't know... It could be some level of software checking, but I would think there would be plenty of errors still. I am also wondering how long before we get the unchecked toilet tweets.

One this that has struck me is the current language of TFG posts. You don't suddenly start spelling words correctly and using full sentences after years of covfefe. So someone is potentially looking at this horrific nonsense and fixing grammar and spelling. A true Grammar N**i

Senate learns of new allegations against Hegseth The Defense secretary nominee's former sister-in-law, in an affidavit, said she witnessed his drunken aggression and that his second wife worried about her safety.

"Pete Hegseth’s former sister-in-law, in an affidavit given to senators on Tuesday, alleged that the Pentagon chief pick caused his second wife to fear for her safety... Hegseth also stated that women should not have the right to vote or work, according to the affidavit."

I don’t want to hear a word about fentanyl coming “over the border” ever again, but I know that’s too much to ask.

Ending support for Electric cars likely help Tesla as they are already established and hurt innovation/competition in the space. I doubt we will see nothing Elon doesn't approve of for a while yet.

On a light note... this was the size of the rice that came with my curry. We were comically dividing this between the 4 of us.

This will inevitably cause deaths. They know this and cruelty is the point.

Fundraiser for Kenzie Brownsmirh by Zac Brown : Help the Brownsmiths Rebuild Don't we all love the Brownsmiths? Four people and a cute pup who have dedicated their lives to… Zac Brown needs your support for Help the Brownsmiths Rebuild

Our good friends Val and Kenzie lost their home in Altadena as part of the fires. Along with their two kids and dog they are safe, but will have a long road ahead. Any help you could throw their way, if you have the means, would be appreciated.

Just now in presser on SoCal wildfires, FEMA Regional Administrator advises for those affected please register for assistance these ways:

* Go to disasterassistance.gov
* Download the FEMA app
* Call (800) 621-3362

Certainly seems too. Now I am just not sure if I love of hate that my profile picture is different on all the apps.

Alright trying out this cross posting using an app. I generally like the Threads community, but the whole billionaires spoiling our fun seems to be leaking over there. So let's see how posting everywhere works for now.

Not if you find a cold lake... sauna AND cold plunge team building.

I agree... and yet somehow I can see the personification of death trying to distance themselves from these folks.

It was a little cathartic after the past few weeks.

Sunset from the Air

Nighttime shot of Lowell, MA from the air

This past weekend a friend who is a pilot took me up on a flight. It was nice break from it all... and the sunset didn't suck either. Second picture is Lowell, MA

Bean people here!
