Just look at his big push for AI data centers. The real estate "baron" in him sees an opportunity to use his office to cash in, & he has nobody in his cabinet OR Congress stopping him.

I had said earlier during this Administration that the #BloodyOrangeKing would sell off our public lands, preserves, & National Parks to the highest bidder under the guise of 'national security', & he will make sure that he gets at least a 10%-20% cut from that sale, if not more.

💯 This is just coming from a stateside perspective. I also feel that the dissonant attitudes towards accredited experts in their field does stem from propaganda that has a well-established hold on this country & has spread like a cancer across the 🌍.

I believe that (as a whole, the root cause of wars, genocide, restrictions of knowledge, religious zealotry (to include Zionism), & overall suffering the world over is the direct cause of patriarchal establishments who have been scared 💩 less of women since day one.

This also brings up the whole 'if you could go back in time' question. What would I do if I could? I'd likely go back far enough to the point where the roots of patriarchy were beginning to take shape, & eliminate it. Impossible task? Possibly.

NEW: Millions of Americans move every year. Under Trump's voter eligibility lists, those millions of recent movers could face disenfranchisement right before the midterms. But that hasn’t stopped DHS from moving forward with the lists.

Moved recently? Under Trump’s voter eligibility lists, you could be disenfranchised

The millions of Americans who move states each year could be at risk of losing their right to vote from Trump's eligibility lists.

Which is odd to say the least. What I do know is what I have seen from other unions of state workers I do know. And those unions seem to have it together when negotiating wages & benefits with WA. But as I said, I am on the outside of this whole MEBA drama.

000

Looking at this from the outside. There are multiple factors that are causing the current problem. A very large factor is the lack of communication between parties when problems in pay were first identified. But CBAs after these problems were identified were still agreed on by ALL agencies involved.

100

Should MEBA have gone to the table sooner to demand better pay for those they say they represent when they first noticed the disparities? Certainly. Did they? I can't say as I am on the outside on the specifics of the whole drama between MEBA, OFM, & WSF.

100

Should WSF readjust their workforce number determination? Most definitely. WSF is not the only state agency seeing staffing shortages or in need of making adjustments to their respective workforce numbers. It's a systemic problem, but their union reps seem to get their 💩 done when negotiating wages.

Abdul El-Sayed @abdulelsayed.bsky.social · 13h

So the current CBA agreement (agreed by both MEBA & WSF) is not fair? How so? From what I have seen on the reporting. It seems like leadership w/in MEBA needed to get to the table sooner back in '22-'24 when they first noticed the pay disparities, possibly before morale tanked to what it is now.

I hope a root cause to this is found. This is not the only state agency in WA that has seen staffing shortages due to illness in recent months, causing others within those agencies to flex accordingly to fill those absent roles.

President Trump recently attempted to ban several categories of Canadian imports. @ilyasomin.bsky.social explains that import restrictions are a congressional power under the Constitution, not an executive one, and will run into the same legal constraints as tariffs.

The President Doesn’t Have Unlimited Power to Impose Import Bans

Contrary to Trump’s claims, executive power to impose import bans is constrained by most of the same legal restrictions as the power to impose tariffs.

Americans have a history of putting up the middle finger to any kind of expert or authority figure that tries to tell them to do something, even if it's something that will save lives. Just like they did in 1918 & the '80s while blaming marginalized communities. I hate it here sometimes.

This case will likely lead to further exposure of what is likely decades of acceptance of rape culture at Cornell by staff, campus security, local police, & others involved both inside & outside of this "prestigious" university because 💰 from alumni & other donors to the school were more important.

The base in Okinawa will likely have to enforce curfews & buddy systems for single Marines going off base, if they allow them to leave base that is. There will be a very large political push to hasten the closure of this base.

000

In that case. There were many formal in person apologies to the Japanese government from Obama's SECNAV & reps from SECDEF. I seriously doubt this Admin will make the same effort with this Okinawa incident.
