Yearly reminder that April Fool's day is a gigantic nightmare for loads of people, in particular Neurodiverse folks, and people with anxiety issues. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that you have a temporary excuse for being a dick to people. You don't.

While railroads spent more on stock buybacks than rail safety, Warren Buffett became $42 billion richer & is worth $106 billion. On Friday, Buffett became $435 million richer, enough to provide 7 paid sick days to every rail worker in America for an entire year. Ban the buybacks. https://twitter.com/CNBC/status/1629482734358863883

America doesn’t have a labor shortage. There is a living wage shortage, a hazard pay shortage, a child care shortage, a paid sick leave shortage, and a health care shortage.

Michael Knowles, a commentator at Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire website, has called for the criminalization of all trans people. I sure hope all the people "just asking questions" about trans people who *toooootally* aren't transphobic will pause from concern-trolling about kids to actually pushing back on calls for genocide against trans people. https://www.mediamatters.org/daily-wire/daily-wire-host-you-have-ban-transgenderism-entirely

As DeSantis signs a law today stripping Disney of control of its Orlando district, he criticizes what he considers to be "woke" policies. "We want our kids to be kids. We want them to be able to enjoy entertainment... without having an agenda imposed upon them."

In 1977, NASA began looking for women astronauts.

Sally Ride spotted an ad about it in the Stanford school newspaper & applied. She was one of six women chosen.

In 1983, Ride became the first American woman to travel into space. Her role as a mission specialist was to work a robotic arm to put satellites into space.

Ride went on to teach at UC San Diego & worked to promote women & girls in STEM. She also wrote children’s books about exploring #space. https://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/5-8/features/nasa-knows/who-was-sally-ride-58.html #HistoryRemix

Hey cis folks instead of splitting hairs over if they’re planning and committing genocide on trans people how about we just establish such good rights for trans people that it’s obviously not happening.

Tennessee's clownservative governor Bill Lee, who's about to sign a bill making it illegal to dress in drag, is seen here... dressed in drag.

Of course, the unspoken excuse is "Oh, c'mon, it's different when STRAIGHT guys dress in drag," but try writing that into law.

Soliciting names for my adorable new trans demon plushie.

Happy birthday, Yoko.

The Postal Board of Governors, which still refuses to fire Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, meets today for its first session of 2023.

Two board seats previously held by Trump nominees opened up in December.

Biden must fill them without further delay.

And now they enter the “finding out” phase of their clever plan.
