Optimistic realist. Humanity gets twisted into evil shapes by trauma, but we can recover, be better, & extend our recovery to others & the planet.

The President of the United States is a dementia addled sociopath whose delusions are going to kill Americans.

That MF would stand in front of the White House claiming it's on fire, would get little push back from legacy media, and MAGA watching it on tv would agree with him, the ignorant fucks that they are.

Trump: Portland is burning to the groundβ€”insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

I'm reminded of a joke.

An accountant, mathematician & physicist are in a room & are asked "what does 2 + 2 equal." The mathematician says "4" & leaves. The physicist agrees, "it's 4," & then he leaves. The accountant gets up, closes the doors & blinds, then asks, "what do you need it to equal?"

You almost have to pity these sad little wannabe-rightist flacks. Almost.

They can't figure out who their audience is; whose spittle they have to lick. They desperately fling crappy Trump-stroking wrongnesses onto the churning mindless bad take sea, hoping blind idiot Senpai notices.

So much of what's happening right now in mid-tier "elite" opinionating is auditioning for an imagined right wing nomenklatura. And it's disgusting.

Someone yesterday casually mentioned that their husband was generating cryptocurrency in their garage.

Then there is support staff, including food service & cleaning staff, which is predominantly female, with a disproportionate number of Black & immigrant women. They are often paid low wages & have less access to benefits.

Nursing Home Staffing: Share Of Immigrant Certified Nursing Assistants Grew As US-Born Staff Numbers Fell, 2010–21 Nursing homes have long faced a shortage of direct care workers, a problem which has been greatly magnified during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using nationally representative data from three sources, we fi...

"Facilities with higher shares of Black & Hispanic residents particularly rely on immigrant labor. Recent studies have found that CNA hours increased in regions with immigrant inflows, & that the increase improved the quality of care provided in nursing homes."

Nursing home staff in America are disproportionately women, with Black women making up a significant portion of the workforce. The staff is also becoming more diverse ethnically, with a high percentage of Black, Hispanic, and immigrant workers, especially among Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). Many nursing assistants have less formal education, which makes the job accessible but can lead to lower pay. 
Demographics
Gender:
The vast majority of nursing home staff are women. 
Race and Ethnicity:
People of color make up a significant portion of the workforce, particularly in roles like nursing assistant, where they are the majority.
Black and African American workers: These workers make up a disproportionate share of the nursing home workforce, especially when compared to the overall workforce.
Immigrant workers: Immigrant women, particularly from the Caribbean, Central America, and Southeast Asia, are a vital part of the direct care workforce, especially in areas with high immigrant populations.

Temu Goebbels is basically calling everyone who exercises their constitutional rights to protest and speak out against the Trump regime terrorists. He wants to be able to arrest anyone who disagrees with him. Sorry, Stephen. This is not Nazi Germany... yet.
