This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the rich by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to essential safety nets.

4) Threaten to shut down the government.

5) Repeat.

They're trying to get away with it again.

For several months, one of the people running in the primary for the open seat in the US Senate for California has been sending me emails about our "shared Jewish values".

This started quite early on my journey towards joining the tribe. I certainly did not tell the American Democratic Party that I was considering becoming Jewish.

I wrote to the campaign and asked for the source of their information (and their position on data privacy) and received no reply.

I had recently started following a bunch of twitter accounts like @jewwhohasitall and several other Jewish accounts, so I do think Twitter was the mostly likely source of this metadata, which they sold and which either included my voting state or was compared to other data to uncover this.

Which means, essentially, that Elon Musk has a list of Anglophone Jews and roughly where they live.

I guess this is how #Apple does #layoffs these days.

First they require in-person #returnToOffice, then they relocate business units from one location to another, and force those who can’t uproot their lives to leave.

The Apple location in #SanDiego isn’t going away. But they intentionally forced 121 people to choose between moving to #Austin, or lose their jobs. Make no mistake, this is a layoff.

Never mind the fact that #Texas is hostile to anyone with a uterus, or is not cishet—why the hell anyone would move *to* that state? If anything, Apple should be shutting down their Austin office, and paying for people to relocate to a state that better ensures their safety.

Evangelicals prove they are the most gullible humans on the planet by replacing their fictional Jesus sky wizard with crooked Nazi #Trump.

No wonder they eat dog food and send their welfare checks to filthy rich hucksters and pretend billionaire Trump.

Being pregnant in Texas deserves a CDC warning and travel advisory, seriously.

And their politicians wear that like a freaking badge.
