1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Trump's Big Ugly Bill gives the top 0.1% $255,000 a year in tax cuts. What do we get in NE Ohio? 43,000 people losing their health care and 35,000 losing SNAP nutrition benefits.

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it. www.wwltv.com/article/news...

Pope Leo XIV's grandparents were 7th Ward Creoles
The newly elected pontiff, born in Chicago, has ancestral ties to the city’s historic Seventh Ward, according to genealogists at The Historic New Orleans Collection.

The ruling class wants the working class to argue over which party is better for the people. The reality? Working class people have been left behind by both parties. We don’t have to accept high costs and low wages. We can have a better America.

NPS is preparing for more firings. But they know parks are popular, so they’re trying to hide these cuts while gutting NPS from the inside out They’re planning to go after regional and national offices. You wont meet these staff in a park, but they're specialists who are the backbone of the NPS 💚
Yellow text over a photo of a ranger and child in a forest reads: The NPS is preparing for another wave of mass firings as soon as this week. Leaked reports indicate cuts of nearly 25% across the Department of the Interior. These cuts would paralyze the agency’s ability to protect our parks.Yellow and orange text over a photo of NPS scientists working at an archeological site reads: Due to the popularity of parks and public outcry (YOU!), staff in parks may be spared the axe. That’s a HUGE win. But there’s a catch. EVERY park depends on the technical support and leadership of staff beyond park boundaries. Join us to demand protection for our colleagues in specialized regional + national programs. Every day this week, we’ll be highlighting their critical work.Yellow and orange text on a dark background with a photo of a park ranger in uniform holding a telemetry antenna for tracking wildlife. Text reads: #NoParksWithout Science + Stewardship
The NPS Natural Resource Stewardship and Science Directorate exists for one reason: to help parks use the best available science to make management decisions. This is mandated by Congress in the NPS Omnibus Act of 1998. Read on for ways that NRSS scientists help protect parks.Yellow and orange text on a dark background, with a photo of three NPS staff in waders with nets standing in a small stream surrounded by wetlands. Text reads: #NoParksWithout Ecological Monitoring
Scientists in the NPS Inventory & Monitoring Division track the long-term health of our parks. Are wildlife populations healthy? Where is water quality changing? Are forests in trouble? Without this data, park managers are flying blind.

How about we start treating people like people? Is that too much to ask?
"The leader of Immigration and Customs Enforcement said that his dream for the agency is squads of trucks rounding up immigrants for deportation the same way that Amazon trucks crisscross American cities delivering packages.
'We need to get better at treating this like a business,' Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said, explaining he wants to see a deportation process 'like (Amazon) Prime, but with human beings.'"

Wishing you an OK day on March 23 — National OK Day! 👍 Back in 1839, the Boston Morning Post published the first known instance of "OK" (writing it "o.k."). It was an abbreviation for the joking misspelling of "all correct": "oll korrekt." 🧵
This is what happens when I design my own social media images: A bright yellow background and playful purple dots in the corners. Bold, stylized text at the top reads 'HAPPY OK DAY' in purple with a green shadow. Below that, the date 'March 23' is centered between two sets of decorative green dotted arrows pointing inward. Or is it not centered? I can't tell anymore. At the bottom of the image, three cartoonish 3D hands with thumbs up are on a circular yellow platform.

“Never quit” sounds great, but sometimes, you gotta quit. Be willing to say, “this isn’t what I thought it was,” or “this doesn’t appeal to me anymore.” Remember that you can quit “the thing” without quitting on yourself. Remember that persistence and fluidity can coexist.
