These are officials, scientists & engineers with decades of expertise sought after by private sector companies. They partner with private corps on projects & have them on speed dial so most immediately had better offers. The time & money to rebuild this expertise leaves us less safe.

And this incompetence has dire costs to Americans. These officials, engineers & scientists are highly sought after individuals & likely snatched up immediately by private sector. To replace their decades of expertise will take time we don't have & $$$. This made us FAR less safe.

These officials plus the "nuclear guys" (scientists & engineers) are very connected & sought after by private sector. They instantly had better offers elsewhere so these mistakes cost us far more than is being disclosed.

‘It’s a death sentence’: US health insurance system is failing, say doctors Firms including United Healthcare have denied basic scans and taken months to reconsider, physicians say

Health insurance giants, including United Healthcare, have denied basic scans and taken months to reconsider, physicians say

Same. Just spoke with a friend who hadn't heard of a single thing done so far by Trump & who thought all this would take months going through the house, senate &/or courts before becoming effective.

I believe that's just a twitter rumor. Two children were found in Iceland with their mother. The large block of children missing is from Trump separating children last administration.

Bloomberg philanthropy to cover U.S. climate dues after Paris withdrawal Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's philanthropy and other U.S. funders said on Thursday they will cover U.S. financial obligations to the UN climate framework after President Donald Trump called for the U.S. to withdraw - for a second time - from the Paris climate agreement.

After Trump ordered the US to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement, Bloomberg Philanthropies and other U.S. climate funders announced that they will “ensure the United States meets its global climate obligations.”

No. This is why many of us moved from disability 'rights' to disability justice. It doesn't matter what rights you technically have in law if there's no pathway to realistically and *safely* accessing those rights for the average person.

Krasner May File Charges Against J6 Defendants Pardoned by Trump – DV Journal Philadelphia’s progressive Democratic District Attorney Larry Krasner is looking into bringing state charges against the Pennsylvania January 6 defendants

I wish him luck and good for him for at the very least trying to do something

If you're a federal worker and you want to blow the whistle and share emails or memos from the new administration, my DMs are open and I'll keep you anonymous.

This is how you do it...

He also commissioned 5 murders that were not carried out prior to his arrest for running illegal darkweb marketplace Silk Road. These are serious crimes & to pardon his man who was clearly guilty of a pile of crimes is outrageous.

This is real. There are piles of evidence that the richest man in the world spends his time fondling his own ego with fake accounts on social media. He isn’t running any of these companies. He’s just a weirdo on drugs and high on his own press.

This is your mission. We take our power back now at the local and state level. Stop waiting for a national hero. It’s you. Get to work.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

Never forget!

No words.

Tiktok is a critical community for isolated groups (chronic illness, neurodivergent, abuse survivors) plus, for many, a source of income. It is more than entertainment for many people who, otherwise, have very little community or safety net.

Two that changed to far lesser quality materials in the last decade are Coach bags(used to be heavy leather) and Fitflop (used to have ergonomic sole support before 2016) so I buy only buy old stock for those items now.

It’s nearly impossible to explain to non disabled people the hope we had at the beginning of the pandemic.

Hope for inclusion & accommodation. For better awareness & treatment of chronic illness.

Having that hope ripped away and replaced with increasing ableism, eugenics & hatred? Its devastating

How you can help the incarcerated firefighters battling L.A. wildfires The Los Angeles-based Anti-Recidivism Coalition, a nonprofit dedicated to ending mass incarceration, started a fundraiser on Friday to support the fire crews of California’s prisons.

I had a lot of people asking me so I wrote an explainer: Here's how you can help the incarcerated firefighter battling the blazes in Southern California this week:

Susan Faludi talks about this in "Backlash" too: In the '80s tons of men were told 'we can't hire you because we have to hire a woman' even though companies weren't hiring very many women. Managers were just too chickenshit to tell men they weren't qualified.

It’s perfect. Here Sheryl was, “leaning in,” taking charge, being the front woman and explainer and COO for the terminally vacant, inarticulate, and people-repelling Zuck FOR YEARS, and rather than gratitude, he does this.

How low can you get? But a great cautionary career tale for powerful women.

Call BOTH your Senators. Just say three things: your name, address and that you oppose a specific nominee. That's all. No need for a script.
They MUST tally your call, they WILL count it, and they DON'T have to tally calls from people who don't live in their state. So just call where you live.

I sure hope you are right. I am the only Democrat in my mostly military families neighborhood.

I had a walk today and thought about the relationship between civility, discomfort, and abuse.

Some of you know that “civility” is one of my hard “ugh” triggers. This thread will explain why.

Duckworth: "He's already had to pay off a woman who accused him of sexual assault in order to keep his last job at Fox News. What is he gonna be willing to do to pay off the next accuser who might show up after he becomes secretary of defense and has access to the nuclear codes?"

Absolutely hate “we went too far” revisionist history. “We all believed women and it went too far.” No we did not all believe women. I was there

Karla, perhaps try Poshmark. I have found several excellent new with tag discontinued old stock items so I now have gathered multiples of my favorite clothes. Enter info from clothing tag to streamline search. Good luck.
