Get on with your life.

I have a request from my radio friend to ask something small and zero-risk of you all:

If your radio station has played or is playing Bruce Springsteen's "Streets of Minneapolis", please take a second to call or text (usually same as call-in number), or email the station and let them know you appreciate it.

Because I promise you, every DJ, like my friend, who plays this song is getting cursed out and threatened by some dickwad in your city every time it plays. Please let them know they don't need to second-guess themselves, that you are listening, and that they are doing a good thing.

Fuck ICE; Thank You.

AU where trump runs for third term but loses to third term obama and trump gets so mad he shits and dies on the spot

[mimimimoomoomoo]

To my shift manager:

I really like your new undercut.

I’d rather die than say it but I think your sense of urgency is sexy.

You move with a whole different level of purpose and fluidity than the rest of the team.

It’s really hot how fast you can break down a box.

The first time I wondered who you are outside of work was that time we lost the bottle opener and you said “here”, took the bottle, hooked the cap on the counter and hit it with your fist to pop it open like it was no big deal, and I heard our coworker in the back go “wowwwww” and honestly, same.

I respect your respect for FIFO.

One time you were so focused you silently moved a chair WITH ME STILL ON IT so you could get to the wall safe and ngl my heart fluttered a little.

We talk about how strong you are behind your back.

You’re strict but gentle and it makes you amazing at training new people.

I overheard you give a guy a discount because his kids were polite and it was really sweet.

You’re intimidating but I’m not surprised at all that you’re good with kids.

Shifts that you lead feel safe because you never snap on us in the chaos.

It’s really rare to have a manager who will go to bat for employees when a customer is being insane/abusive and we’re so fucking grateful for you.

I know you’re depressed but you make the whole team happier just by walking in.

I love how you make deranged jokes with a straight face.

I really admire that you don’t take things so seriously that you can’t laugh at yourself.

It’s probably fatigue, but it’s still cute when you lose your train of thought and make a weak your mom joke instead.

The only unprofessional thing I’ve ever seen you do is occasionally curse in front of customers but you don’t even realize when you do it and there’s something so human about that.

I know I’m not the only one who feels this way about you because I’ve heard other people say the things that I’m too afraid to.

I wish I could make you laugh as much as some of our coworkers do.

I hope you’re not at this stupid place forever but I also selfishly hope you don’t leave while I’m here.

I don’t feel like I can tell you any of this because I don’t want to make your job uncomfortable.

I really like you.

Everything we do at our job is bullshit but when you do it it’s beautiful.

Pete Hegseth sent secret war plans to journalist by accident

Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic who was added to a group chat, wrote that he had "never seen a breach quite like this.

In a piece for The Atlantic published online Monday, Jeffrey Goldberg, the magazine's editor-in-chief, wrote that he had been given access to the text chain with top members of the White House national security team seemingly by accident, adding that he'd "never seen a breach quite like this."

The Pentagon referred Newsweek to the National Security Council when asked for comment on the apparent security lapse. The NSC did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but a spokesperson for the agency previously confirmed to Goldberg the Signal group chat "appears to be an authentic message chain."

Later, in a statement given to CNN, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared to confirm the veracity of Goldberg's story while saying the national security team still had the full backing of the president:

"As President Trump said, the attacks on the Houthis have been highly successful and effective. President Trump continues to have the utmost confidence in his national security team, including National Security Advisor Mike Waltz."

WHAT A FUCKING POO PRESENTATION

without paywall

[rederiswrites]

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.

[rederiswrites]

Nazis are taking over my government, and like, not even just the Nazis we fucking elected! And I'm...making hamburgers? Because somebody has to make dinner? I just feel completely unhinged.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I think that's how random civillians generally feel in these situations. Someone's gotta make dinner.

[lizardlicks]

If you're wondering, there is plenty to be done about it, and plenty being done about it already, even if it's not happening instantly in a way you can perceive.

Is Somebody Doing Something?!

Yes. Let me break it down for you.

[rederiswrites]

Reblogging because this is an excellent article that both tells you about some of what's being done and breaks it down in a way that will help you understand and think about future action. Please read!

Hey so… not advocating for anyone here, but this feels like something y’all should know about.

PBS article

WaPo article

And another WaPo article, I guess.

I don’t love that there aren’t a lot of sources on this, but as far as I can tell it’s a fairly new thing (earliest info on Clear Choice is from 2 weeks ago).

Suuuuuuuuuuuuper glad a bunch of strangers who somehow can’t find a decent candidate in a country of over 200 million adults have decided WE’RE all too stupid to decide between more than two options. Instead of, you know… picking better candidates to prop up.

[Description: Video titled Young Jewish American Goes Off At Alexandria Virginia City Council. The person has a keffiyeh draped over their shoulders and wears a yarmulke designed after a watermelon. There are multiple watermarks on the video; instagram user ahmedeldin and tiktok users marthacunningham27 and firastine.

Transcript: The United States is abetting a genocide. The United States is abetting a genocide. I should not have to say anything past this. There is no greater threat to this world, no greater crime. I know this inherently as a Jewish member of this city. I am no longer able to say this eloquently or diplomatically.

The United States has provided the bombs that split a relative, a friend of one of Alexandria’s citizens, in two– split her limbs from her body. The United States has sent the bullets that were shot by snipers into children’s heads. The United States has nearly 3 million of Alexandria’s tax dollars paid for the drones that were used to kill family members of Alexandrians. We provided the white phosphorus to pollute my Holy Land like we tainted Vietnam with Agent Orange.

We have provided the essential political cover to prolong this genocide. Three times now, the U.S. has been the sole country to veto ceasefire resolutions at the United Nations. Israel’s army may be the one executing it “over there” as you guys keep saying, but it has only been made possible by our government. Our government just down the river that we can look and see, our government’s diligent support.

Not even a century ago, a nation’s people ignored its genocide all the while believing they were good and rational people. I have visited a concentration camp. The very first thing my guide told me was that everyone in the surrounding towns knew. That she said they could smell it.

You can see it, hear it, but to you your political career matters more. We see right through you. It’s not that you don’t care, it’s that you are scared of opposing the Democratic Party in such a Liberal city. Unless you introduce and pass the ceasefire resolution, your cowardice will only be your legacy. Nothing you do in your tenure, no piece of legislation, no projects will ever matter if you cannot do this one simple thing. You will only be remembered as the monsters who looked away and allowed it to continue. /End Transcript.]
