A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.
Will Ogles be censured for his comments?
Because it's quite hard to read this as anything but a call for the expulsion (or worse) of 4.5 million people on the basis of their religion.
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
four men holding up a banner that says "NO VISAS NO VICTORIES SECURE BOTH FOR CUBAN OLYMPIC ATHLETES LET CUBA PLAY . com"
a source has informed me that Let Cuba Play was outside Surprise Stadium prior to the Cuba/Royals exhibition game. members of the Team Cuba delegation were denied visas to enter the U.S., including the team's pitching coach, Pedro Luis Lazo. (photo from Let Cuba Play)
anyway the reason jobless claims continue to fall but record numbers of people are out of work is because unemployment insurance runs out but we're still unemployed and otherwise untracked. hope this helps.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social
I ask this genuinely but also knowing the answer: why are the millions and millions of dollars these people have never enough? have some self-respect!
Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming
"Job listings rarely explain what the work actually involves. 'People are hired under ambiguous labels, but only after contracts are signed and training begins do they realise what the actual work is.'"
i don’t doubt that people are sincere when they say this stuff, but this has been the line for over 40 years and is perhaps the biggest reason why “sorting out the rest” never, ever, ever happens
Hey everyone!
Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today!
But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold.
I just resorted our list to put those on the top.
Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!
You can’t deport citizens. Some naturalized citizens can be denaturalized after a felony conviction.
He is describing expulsion, a crime against humanity. It should not be subject to negotiation.
Primary the entire leadership. Get them out of office if they won’t defend our rights.
now we're cooking with gas
I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place
Reminder that Third Way is a Republican group attempting to pretend to be democrats to try and hamstring the left, and a good way to operate is to do the exact opposite of whatever they suggest.
The man who literally wrote the book on the use of vehicles as ramming weapons says any claim Good used hers as such is false, and that her execution, followed by the false claim, is "death squad behavior."
Dear legislator: I am not remotely interested in your personal "take" on what the Trump administration did in Venezuela. I would much prefer it if you initiated some kind of action and then told us about it.
Everyone Who Isn't In A Cult: If you nominate gavin newsom you will lose
Dem Party: Oh thank god i wasn't sure we could manage it this time
Oh look, AI bros are grabbing what they perceive to be a disadvantaged group and using them as human shields. (See also: "Disabled people can't draw! Poor kids can't afford art supplies!")
Must be a day that ends in y, eh?
For your holiday ambiance, I've made a hypnotic yule log fireplace with ultra slow motion macro footage of flames stretching & warping like liquid as fire reacts with calcium chloride & barium. This is real fire I filmed, not CGI or AI.
10hrs, 4K, crackling sounds, no music, no ads. Happy holidays!
This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.
Hey losers leave trans folks alone
It’s because your guy is a scumbag, James Woods. It’s embarrassing that he has to piss on the grave of someone you personally know for you to see it.
Our society only seems to promote people who think the point of art is to hold a finished product, rather than the process of creation. I'm ashamed to admit how much it bothers me that you can be so obviously ignorant and still be taken seriously.

If you plan to get an America The Beautiful National Parks pass, do it before the year ends. They’re apparently putting his face on the cards in 2026.
I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore
1. Over Thanksgiving, texts from Dem. Sen Ruben Gallego leaked where he repeats far-right talking points on masculinity, lamenting that Democratic women "look like men."
Using far-right gender-panic rhetoric will not ingratiate the Democratic Party towards men.

Seriously unsure how you can even encourage kids to go to college now when on top of being extremely expensive they are run by the biggest cowards on earth
