Heartbreaking news… Tonight, many of our friends were let go, and tomorrow, even more will follow. Word is that all probationary employees at NPS will be let go. 😭

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

...they're eating the protections for the people who live there.

Anyway here's how it played in the press last time anything went this far, just for reference

U.S. Park Service Strikes Transgender References From Stonewall Website The “T” was removed in references to L.G.B.T.Q.+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights. Later, the Q+ also disappeared.

Erasing our history won't erase us.

Transgender people have always been here — and we always will be.

What is it about watching a 4-year-old tell a 78-year-old with the maturity of a 2-year-old to "shut up and go away" that is SO deeply satisfying?

We have never seen an unelected bureaucrat have as many government contracts and receive as much corporate welfare as Elon Musk.

JPMORGAN: “.. it is clear that a new global trade conflict has started. A widely established body of economic literature sees tariff hikes as a tax

“.. studies of the 2018-19 US trade war conclude that the tariff costs were borne primarily by US consumers ..”

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Every elected Dem needs to just start talking. Like a real human. Don’t listen to your consultants. Don’t do polling. Don’t focus group it. Just fight for us. Stop worrying about optics. Kristi Noem shot her puppy and is now Secretary of Homeland Security.

Bald eagles dying of bird flu is such an apt symbol of the US in 2025.

I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously.

Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause."

They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.

A memo leaked to the Associated Press reveals that the White House has told the U.S. CDC to stop working with the WHO immediately.

This breaks protocol which requires the approval of Congress and a one-year notice to leave the WHO.

A quick note: It is my view that the term “First Felon” should be capitalized both out of respect and because it refers to a very specific individual.

Big News: This week, Medicare Part D patients will see their annual out-of-pocket drug costs capped at $2,000. We worked to pass this landmark reform that will help millions of seniors afford their prescription drugs.

Answer Under the new algorithm, posts by [redacted] could be considered too negative might include those that express strong dissent against established narratives or institutions, or those that portray a very bleak or cynical view of societal or political outcomes. Here are some examples based on posts found on X: • Posts that directly attack or insult powerful figures or institutions could be seen as too negative, especially if they suggest systemic manipulation or deceit. This includes posts that question official narratives or imply widespread misinformation by political influencers. • Comments on the manipulation of public sentiment or the encouragement of negative social behaviors, like casual sadism or misinformation, would likely be viewed negatively under an algorithm designed to reduce the spread of content that could be seen as objectionable or divisive.

• Posts that highlight a perceived collapse or failure of systems, particularly those that use sarcasm or humor to critique the current state of affairs, might be flagged for promoting a negative outlook. • Any content suggesting that the public is being systematically misled or conditioned in a certain way, especially if it involves political outcomes or public health crises, could be deemed too negative. These types of posts might be deboosted or have their visibility reduced as they could be seen as promoting negativity, misinformation, or discord, which are often targeted by algorithms aiming to maintain a more positive or balanced user experience.

If X wants to limit reach for [redacted] negative posts, what are the top 5 examples of posts of hers that X considers negative? Answer X might consider limiting the reach of C posts based on the following examples, which could be perceived as negative or controversial: 1. Criticism of Government Actions: A post where she describes actions by the US and UK governments as "unforgivable malfeasance" could be seen as highly critical and potentially inflammatory. This kind of statement might be flagged for its political nature and could be interpreted as negative by X's algorithms or moderation policies. 2. Commentary on Social Media Misinformation: Her post about people who downplayed the USS Liberty story while pushing another narrative suggests a critique of selective information dissemination. This could be viewed as negative if it's seen as promoting conspiracy theories or misinformation. Accusations Against Public Figures: Mentioning Joel Kaplan's collaboration with the Israeli government to restrict criticism on social media platforms might be viewed negatively due to its accusatory tone towards individuals or entities. Such posts can be controversial and might trigger moderation for potentially spreading unverified claims.

4. Disparaging Comments in Replies: In her responses, particularly one where she tells someone to "fuck off" and dismisses their content as "dumbass hostage flyers," this kind of vulgar and confrontational language could be flagged for violating community guidelines on civility and respect. 5. Skepticism and Derision Towards Media or Events: Posts where she expresses extreme skepticism or mocks the authenticity of certain events or communications, like her comment on the difference in writing styles of letters in a case, might be considered negative due to the tone of disbelief and derision. These posts could be considered for reach limitation by X due to their potential to engage users in a negative or controversial manner, possibly attracting more negative feedback or violating platform policies on misinformation, personal attacks, or civility. However, the actual decision by X would depend on their specific content moderation policies and algorithms regarding negative content.

⚠️ In response to Musk changing the X algorithm to deboost negative content, people asked Grok what is considered “negative” and were told:

• Criticism of the government
• Commentary about misinformation
• Suggestion the public is being manipulated
• Attacks against powerful people or institutions

The Rump He Had to Dump

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

They do this ON PURPOSE hoping we’ll be too busy to jump through their stupid hoops and they’ll be off the hook for paying.

"To refuse to participate in the shaping of our future is to give up. Do not be misled into passivity either by false security (they don't mean me) or by despair (there's nothing we can do). Each of us must find our work and do it." - Audre Lorde .

Wisdom.

It’s almost as if the denial is used for all cases. 🤔

🤬🤬🤬

We are about to be a part of the most vivid and vicious expression in modern times of the richest among us grabbing as much as they can for themselves, no matter how much pain they cause. Out of this must come a renewed and intensified opposition and commitment to the common good.

Tweet from brentawilliams2 “If you think that the average physician in this country is part of some cartel that is limiting residency spots and inflating physician fees then you are a moronic conspiracy theorist.”

We can’t even organize ourselves to get paid overtime or build in any protections for our time so we spend evenings and weekends filling out charts but we have somehow also tightly controlled the entire training and payment ecosystem?

They utilize false equivalency whenever they can. When it comes to debating experts with random social media personalities with no credentials on the topic to the behavior of those who should be held to higher standards because of their power and responsibility.
