Call it anecdotal, but my Canadian friends who are cancelling their US travel are not doing it because of tariff worries at all; they’re doing it because the US government is currently actively threatening Canada’s sovereignty and economy and they’re all justifiably furious
Psychological safety is NOT about lack of disagreement.
Psychological safety REQUIRES:
* disagreement and debate
* setting standards for behavior and performance, and enforcing them
* telling people things they don't want to hear
* courage, from the bottom up
* humility, from the top down
We even had to walk up hill in the snow, both ways, to do so
So wild
I'm so glad that we've progressed to the point that most common languages have standard libraries for this and they are mostly good enough
15+ years ago, I could probably write a mostly spec compliant regex off the top of my head, since every library/framework I used would reject valid chars
For sure, but even that is intentional
Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.
Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of billionaires.
I get upset with all the comments about dementia and intelligence for this exact reason
They know exactly what they are doing. They didn't forget what they said. Any appearance of ignorance of facts, process, policy, laws, norms, etc are either purposeful or intentional
The old "sarcasm" defense from Trump, which he uses to explain away his failures & make it impossible to hold him accountable: "Trump says he was being a ‘bit sarcastic’ when he promised to end Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours" apnews.com/article/trum...
Think about how no one under 30 knows what pensions are, it's a totally alien concept. The GOP goal is to make all government services as alien and unfamiliar.
Imagine in a decade, trying to explain to a 20 year old what social security, libraries, grad school, the EPA, OSHA, mass vaccination, ADA,
What happened was mass layoffs, RTO, restructuring, massive AI adoption, ...
Once again: quit trying to insult Nazis by feminizing them. It is not shameful to be feminine. It is shameful to be a Nazi. It’s also shameful to have more money than God and inflict those hairstyles on the public, so maybe start there.
A typical human story. Acceptance of abuse invites more abuse, even if retaliation can be costly. People are warier of people who hit back.
Ah yes, the centuries old practice of successfully funding government through charity
The courts can only help if you don't pass legislation to support the cuts and grant additional executive discretion of the appropriated funds after the fact
Pretty sure that email regex isn't spec compliant
6 months, though
The call volume and protests against the Dems calm down to focus on more pressing issues
Then rinse & repeat
That would have played too much in the Dems favor, too much actual leverage to block the agenda, consistent public outrage and they might not actually cave the next month
And there it is bsky.app/profile/sahi...
i) the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service; (ii) the United States Agency for Global Media; (iii) the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in the Smithsonian Institution; (iv) the Institute of Museum and Library Services; (v) the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; (vi) the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund; and (vii) the Minority Business Development Agency.
Also going after services for the homeless, minority businesses, and community development.
The cruelty is the point.
And hope those who negotiated in bad faith previously won't do it again
I was going to say something similar, my bet is on straight up misogyny
The struggle is real
“I was one of the critics that sat on the side and made the decision there was only two genders, so I got an education that was unbelievable. And I don't know just exactly how to say this but my perspective for people have changed [...] I’d like to apologize"
good things still happen sometimes 🥲
The thing about this that absolutely kills me is that this will only embolden Republicans to stuff *even worse* stuff in future spending bills, knowing that there are enough Dems who will vote yes on cloture no matter what.
“I was proud to vote recently for the House budget resolution, which provides the framework—" Rep. Edwards told the town hall in Asheville, North Carolina before cutting himself off as boos washed over him, while other attendees raised their hands to give him a thumbs-down.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.
It feels like the argument inside of the Democratic establishment is heating up. I hope that's a good thing. I hope there's a faction that understands the fight in front of them and wants to be more proactive. And I hope they're winning against Schumer's milquetoast business as usual.
omg, he's going to out-right mccain
