Reminder that Trump spent all week trying to get Kamala Harris assassinated too by pulling her secret service detail and then using the police union to pull her security detail offered by the LAPD, let’s not forget about that.

Look, I don’t know why this is so complicated for people When a man says violence against women isn’t a crime, they told you who they are, and you can believe it or you can explain it away, but then you know who you are, too The misogyny was always a core point

NEW: Salesloft said hackers accessed its GitHub account between March and June of this year. During that time, they were able to access data that later helped them steal information from several customers, such as Bugcrowd, Cloudflare, Google, Proofpoint, among others, some likely still unknown.

These workers were *building* the plant. And construction had to stop because of the arrests. Which means that ICE is now directly undermining efforts to create domestic manufacturing jobs.

Twitter is owned by a neo-Nazi, the LA Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal are owned by pro-Trump billionaires, and CBS News will soon be run by a far-right Likud extremist. American media still has a liberal bias problem.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

I ran across a personality type I've not seen before. A coworker would rather spend 3 hours on an outage call with management than do 10 minutes of work to avoid it altogether. It's not laziness; they just love to hear a manager thank them for fixing it. This goes against every fiber of my being. 🤯
