Kipling’s classic poem “If,” 1895:
“If you can keep your head when all about you losing theirs ... If can wait & not be tired by waiting ... If can think — & not make thoughts your aim ... If you can trust yourself when all doubt you ... Yours is Earth & everything that’s in it.”

Schadenfreude:

On Trump driving market to worst performance in five years (since last time he was President):

President Zelensky: 150 Ukrainian firefighters are ready to travel to California to help combat the wildfires.🇺🇸🇺🇦

Corporations give money to Trump because they, like him, only care about themselves.

Wisdom from his many years.

To honor one of the most compassionate Americans we've ever known, consider an act of kindness today, for a loved one or even a stranger, however small.

Be the reason someone feels seen today. Sometimes all it takes is a kind word or a sincere gesture.

It will make Jimmy smile.

This is so spot-on it’s scary.

I continue to be deeply moved by this statement to the heavens by President Carter.

WI Public workers earning $50,000 a year saw their take-home pay shrink by about 8.5% because they had to pay more for their benefits, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau at the time.

Act 10 ended ability of public-sector unions to negotiate over issues other than raises, and those raises were capped at rate of inflation. Unions had to hold annual elections to maintain ability to negotiate for raises. For those elections, they must win a majority of all eligible members.

All irony is lost on Scott Walker: “Walker responded to the decision on X, calling it "brazen political activism."

If the ruling is upheld, AFT Wisconsin president Kim Kohlhaas said employees will have the opportunity to create and join unions and advocate for what will help improve public education, higher education and the lives of our citizens, through the essential work public employees do in state agencies.

“Nobody could provide this Court an explanation that reasonably showed why municipal police and fire and State Troopers are considered public safety employees, but Capitol Police, UW Police and conservation wardens, who have the same authority and do the same work, are not," Judge Frost said.

Public safety employees are exempt from the collective bargaining limitations imposed on general public employees

Act 10 overturned by Dane County judge. Walker-era law decimated public employee unions
