We are posting this placard at all of our offices and asking our union contract farms to post as well.

We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

#MastodonPoll: best response to "Iran can never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon"? (pick one)
1. "That's why we should have stuck with the JCPOA, which Obama negotiated and Trump blew up. Bombing Iran makes them more likely to seek a nuclear weapon." (redirect)
2. "Actually, they can and should be allowed and even encouraged to have a nuclear weapon." (contradict)
3. "Who are we to allow or disallow Iran from seeking a nuclear weapon?" (disclaim responsibility)
4. "Iran wouldn't have been able to complete a nuclear weapon anyways." (argue mootness)
5. "Do you remember nothing from the run-up to the Iraq War?" (appeal to history)

@carnage4life Hey, millennials, too! I may have only been 11 at the time, but I was at my local one of those!

Looks like Duolingo just nuked our family plan for no apparent reason. Weird.

My paid Duolingo plan is up in five days. As if to prove how bad the service has got, it today kicked everyone off my family plan. Which also meant I could test what the normal plan is like again. It's… not great, let's say. May try Babbel. But mini-G will be upset if she loses her streak.

Our chair, Lisa Beaudoin, was recently arrested as part of an act of civil disobedience in protest against the GOP's proposed Medicaid cuts. We stand with her as she fights to protect Medicaid:

Elisha Jo Young, 38, has been arrested for the second time on five felony charges of embezzling tens of thousands of dollars from Eugene Weekly between 2021 to 2023. This time, Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek’s office approved her extradition.

This is the latest in a surprising series of twists and turns since the alleged embezzlement against EW came to light in late 2023.

I've managed to narrow down my photos from yesterday's #NoKings protest here in Concord NH to just 4 for this platform. #NHPolitics

I've been seeing photos and videos of crowds at the No Kings events around the country today. I'm just overwhelmed with a sense of "wow, that's a lot of people". It lifts my spirits.

Thank you, America.
