Just a reminder that these Haitian immigrants in Springfield -- who came here legally, did everything they were asked to do and more -- became a target of federal crackdowns because the white nationalist vice president shamelessly spread racist lies about them.

if you've been wondering how thin the commitment to the cultural is as an. 'alternative' to explicit racism of the more clearly segregationist sort, consider the implications of "the mere fact of us being able to notice" that someone is of South Asian heritage as ruling our assimilation

The ads that Anthropic’s running on all the tech podcasts keep reminding me that Anthropic is a Public-Benefit Corporation… What is the acceptable % risk for “elimination of humanity as a whole” when operating under such a public benefit structure?

They keep using this line and it's nonsense for many reasons, but also, if that's truly the case, there are only about a dozen "fraudsters" per state: the insurers. No one else could benefit from this particular no-claims "fraud." So where are the prosecutions of health insurers? 🤔

After an initial outcry, Republicans largely support a plan to replace the Statue of Liberty with a golden, inexplicably nude statue of Trump. Citing national security concerns, the White House confirmed that drones, missiles, bombs, and lasers will shoot out from ‘the appropriate orifices.’

Ten years ago today, CPSC shared its first safety meme. What started as a single baby floating in a force field in outer space has become a universe with dozens of safety characters spanning hundreds of safety graphics sharing thousands of safety messages.
All of CPSC's social media characters gathered around a giant number 10 floating in outer space. The text reads: Happy 10 years of safety memes to all our followers and friends! Tomorrow, we care for one another all over again!

A moment to reflect.
Ten years ago today, we shared the first CPSC meme.

I thought I'd be in for a sensible three or four years at CPSC. Job hopping to make more money was the norm at the time. Then, I heard the words of parents who'd lost children in product safety incidents. Almost all of them said the same thing: "If I had known about this hazard, I would have done something to protect my child."

And then, there you are - the person who hears those words from too many parents and every day gets to put your skills to good use to do something about it. How do you walk away from that mission? Where do you go from social media content that saves lives? I still don't know.

In the meantime, I've had the honor of flying our social to the edges of the atmosphere. Hull bending. Warning lights blinking. Cats, dogs, and birds talking safety in meme form across the internet.

Thank you to every leader, supervisor, and colleague who has allowed me to take our social media to unexpected places near and far. It's not easy to say yes to this kind of work, but you always have. 

A decade in, it remains a privilege to serve the American people and I am grateful every day for the opportunity.
