Look, I get the automatic rejection email thing. It’s a little more frustrating after 3 interviews and an in-person all day interview I burned 10% of my PTO for the year on. But how do you justify not sending a personal follow-up when I CURRENTLY WORK WITH YOU.

I’m in late stage burnout at this point. Every email or Teams message that is an FYI is just getting marked as read atp. If there’s not an action item why are you sending it to me.

Someone should do a segment where they ask a pundit to defend several DHS posts, but sneak a couple examples of posts from known neo-nazis just to watch them spin those.

Imagine a CEO laying off a bunch of people and then giving himself a bonus by suing his own company and then immediately settling the lawsuit in his own favor. Except you’re the people and it’s your money, and you’re technically his boss.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

“We are under invasion from within, no different than a foreign enemy, but worse—they don’t wear a uniform.” This is the President of the United States, who ordered the entire leadership of our military to sit and listen to him, speaking a few minutes ago.

Deploying our superb armed forces on American soil, in peacetime, against Americans, is an illegal and unspeakable perversion of our men and women in uniform. Military rule will bring profound and lasting harm to all of us. Conservative and Liberal Americans reject it. We the people reject it.

JD Vance said he doesn’t care if the US commits war crimes. Did it make the news? Donald Trump said he’s declaring war on Chicago. Did it make the news? Executive agencies keep posting Nazi blood-and-soil propaganda. Did it make the news?

If “grade 6” of your pay scale contains a monthly salary that would not allow a person to qualify for any apartment in the city that your company is in, then you need to really consider what is happening to people in grades 1-5.

It's amazing how simply waking up and existing in the US today feels exponentially more stressful. You don't even have to read the news to experience this. Just going through daily life here with things the way they are is suffocating and defeating. I can't express enough my disgust towards the US.

None of this is based on actual crime statistics, btw. It’s based on Trump’s brain calcifying in the late 1980s and his deeply ingrained racism.

I think it's important to remember that conservatives don't care about crime or "disorder", they want to be able to use the force of the state to prevent anyone from acting in a way they don't personally approve of, and that's what's going on in DC. Crime's just how they justify it.

We've gone from the alt-right being the fringe of American politics to DHS going full fascist - recruiting people to ICE with messages about "Defend your culture!" and "Save America." Deeply alarming for anyone who has picked up a history book.

Unquestionably the most dangerous and corrupt attack on the independence of US economic data in American history. Trump is firing the head of the BLS, a longtime civil servant confirmed 86-8 by the Senate, simply because the job numbers came in below his expectations today
I was just informed that our Country’s “Jobs Numbers” are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under “TRUMP” despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting “Kamala” elected – How did that work out? Jerome “Too Late” Powell should also be put “out to pasture.” Thank you for your attention to this matter!

From the LinkedIn of the woman—a white lawyer from Carlsbad, CA—who filmed this encounter and shared the video:
know we're not supposed to share things like this on Linkedn, but I'm going to share it anyway because it was horrifying and it's happening everywhere and it needs to be shared.
This morning when I was driving home after dropping my son off at summer camp, I saw a swarm of ICE agents as I drove past our local Home Depot. It looked like they were tying up some workers, and my first reaction was to pull into the parking lot.
I couldn't think. I couldn't process. I couldn't reason. I just jumped out of my car and started filming.
I then watched as these two people were disappeared into unmarked vehicles, with one of the ICE vehicles trying to back into me when I wasn't looking.
Another woman tried to help. An ICE agent tried to slap her phone down when she tried to get a phone number to call this man's family. They wouldn't let her. Instead, they whisked him away and accused her of obstructing justice.
I'm currently lying awake in bed at 11pm thinking about how these men won't return home to their families tonight, and their families will probably never know what happened to them.
I've been through some traumatic events in my life, but I've never witnessed anything like this.
This was down the street from my son's elementary school in our little peaceful coastal town.
You may not see it on the news, but you'll hear it from me because it needs to be shared.

I believe that loans (esp student loans) should have a repayment cap. Like if you take out a $10000 student loan at 6%, once you hit $16000 in repayments, the loan is paid. Regardless of whether or not there’s any principal left. At the very least it would make income-based repayment not a scam.
