this statement from WSF relies on you to 1) not notice that they are using the top earning job class and passing that off as representative; and 2) not realize that to make the math work here they would be demanding crews work ~73 hours per week, every single week they are on-duty

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

It is seriously exhausting to be in a political community in which you must constantly explain to people that they are not going to like the consequence of electing a Republican, then see them flop and sweat when they finally face those consequences, and act like they had no idea this would happen.

Samuel Alito flew flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the Jan 6 plot. Both ruled in favor of Trump's mail-in ballot sabotage. I don't think I'll ever get over this.

An $8 million no-bid flooring contract went to a firm with no apparent concert-hall
experience. Low Country Flooring—a South Carolina company whose portfolio runs to
residential and historic preservation work—received a sole-source, five-year, $8 million
contract to replace, refinish, and maintain wood flooring in the concert hall and
elsewhere. The justification signed by then-Vice President of Operations Matt Floca after
the Kennedy Center was renamed declared the firm the “only one responsible source,”
yet there is no evidence the contractor had ever installed flooring for a concert-hall stage,
with its specialized acoustical and performance demands. When Center staff asked about
theater-specific qualifications and performance testing, the contractor’s representatives
said those requirements were never part of the scope discussed with Center leadership

If you ever doubt how magical this world is, one day you will decide to go to a World Cup watch party in Oakland that you found online to root for a country where you spent two years trying to coax English out of the mouths of Cape Verdean teenagers. 1/7

And at the watch party you will ask the organizer if he's from Cape Verde. He will say yes, from Praia. And you'll say oh! I lived there for two years. I was a teacher. And he will ask, "What's your name?" You will tell him and he will say,
"You were my teacher."

And across 30+ years and 6,000 miles you will hug a now man who tried to find you and remembered the songs you taught him and his classmates and he will apologize for how badly behaved they all were. And you will laugh and try not to cry and gape in wonder at at this crazy world.

You will remember how much you love the World Cup. And what the Peace Corps meant to you. What those students, 40 to a class with no glass on the windows, meant to you.

Ivan, the grown man with a touch of grey in his beard, will tell you later he has struggled to describe what it meant to him to meet again - that he shared our photo with classmates.
And when he returns from watching the Cabo Verde game, we will try to find the words together.

Jill Tucker @jilltucker • 20h And then you read that the US
House of Representatives will vote a day before that game on an amendment to eliminate the Peace Corps, which costs 1/6 the price of the Tomahawk missiles the US used in the war on Iran.

That's what the US government and quite a bit of US media tell us is fully open, with normal traffic.

Notice how they rhetorically claim they’re being “neutral” in this guidance (again and again), while being explicitly partisan. The whole thrust of this is to become more conservative and make the libraries less welcoming to large numbers of library patrons whom they disdain for political reasons.
