My Spanish is not very good, but I will definitely be using it more often in public now. Even when not talking to Spanish speakers.
I'm a white male of German ancestry if you go back far enough.

Book bans are illegal in Illinois!
“Here in Illinois, we don’t hide from the truth, we embrace it,” said Governor JB Pritzker in a press release. “Young people shouldn’t be kept from learning about the realities of our world; I want them to become critical thinkers, exposed to ideas that they disagree with, proud of what our nation has overcome, and thoughtful about what comes next. Everyone deserves to see themselves reflected in the books they read, the art they see, the history they learn. In Illinois, we are showing the nation what it really looks like to stand up for liberty.”

After spending several minutes digging this can of food out from the box in the corner of the pantry, Daisy was having no luck getting into it. She eventually gives up and puts it back. #cats

DC Children's Hospital has just contacted me to tell me my reporting is "inaccurate" that they have stopped providing gender affirming care. How is it inaccurate? They still provide "mental healthcare." Read my response.

Does anyone need more proof that Trump doesn’t give a crap about workers?
In his ongoing rampage against the laws of the land, Trump this week fired National Labor Relations Board acting chair Gwynne Wilcox — despite her congressional appointment not being up until 2028.Robert Reich (Alternet.org)

IDK man, but this DEI hire is teaching a 6 day class on industrial cybersecurity while also keeping up with a DFIR job while also selling a house and doing two visa applications alone while all this shit *waves* is going on. And even cleaned the gutters. But it’s probably because I have t**s.

Their talk of a meritocracy is smoke and mirrors. If they really intended to hire on merit, there would be no reason to revoke an executive order that prevents them from discriminating based on race, sex, etc. They revoked it because the know damned well that they will be discriminating based on all of them!

@kevinbowersox It's not smoke and mirrors, it's jut that the biggest merit is being a white Christian man. That's the first selection criteria.
There's hiring on future merit, potential, and that requires being aware of your own biases.
And there's hiring justly on past merit, which requires fixing the pipeline and being aware of not just your own biases but the systemic biases shaping the pipeline from before pre-school.

The question that bothers me is: How long will Republicans play along before they realize they support a delusional, demented narcissist that will take each of them down with him.
They know. We know they know. They know we know they know. And still...
