Via Angry Staffer:

By my count, the GOP has tried to reduce the salary of:

- the first Black SecDef (Austin)
- the first Black LGBT Press Sec (KJP)
- the first Senate-confirmed openly gay Cabinet member (Pete)
- the first refugee/Latin American to lead DHS (Mayorkas)

Sounds about white.

Jake Sherman:

>claudia tenney is on the floor introducing an amendment to reduce Karine JP's salary to $1.

@GottaLaff So white GOP Rep. Tenney wants a Black person to work for $1.00, aka the amount used to legally formalize giving someone nothing at all?

I thought making Black people work for nothing was 160 years out of fashion.

Really wish #MSNBC and other televised news outlets cared about the most basic grammar.

Rep. James Comer’s family business is shadier than anything involving Joe Biden https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/11/9/2204662/-Rep-James-Comer-s-family-business-is-shadier-than-anything-involving-Joe-Biden

(Also, argh! & for real, that’s not at issue! Why rebut moot arguments? The #fraud in & of itself was DECIDED as a matter-of-#LAW. All this trial is deciding are the remaining 6 counts: 1. falsifying business records 2. #conspiracy to falsify business records 3. issuing false financial stmnts 4. conspiracy to falsify said false financial stmnts 5. insurance fraud 6. conspiracy to commit insurance fraud; + the amount of disgorgement.)

Hi everyone! I am looking for a new role and would appreciate your support. Lately I've been working mostly with functional languages (#Elixir, #Erlang, #Haskell, #Elm) in web development, but I'm also passionate about programming languages and tooling (compilers, static analysis, development environments, etc). Let me know if you see an opening that you think I may enjoy!

@georgetakei
Evangelicals have no problem crossing other people's boundaries. What evangelicals object to is when someone stops them from crossing those personal boundaries.

On #Oct7 #Hamas terrorists were not only 1s who documented #warcrimes they had committed during deadly rampage across southern #Israel. Some of #atrocities were captured by Gaza-based #photojournalists working for the AP Reuters CNN NYT whose early morning presence (and ride-alongs) at the breached border area raises serious #ethical questions. Was this coordinated w Hamas? Did #wireservices who published their #photos approve of active participation w/out press cred https://honestreporting.com/photographers-without-borders-ap-reuters-pictures-of-hamas-atrocities-raise-ethical-questions/

What's the best use of your time, attention, and resources if you are living in the USA and have concerns about our country's direction?
Good question!
You are the best person to answer that. It's a democracy, after all.
Do something small that you know needs to be done.
