For the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the mass layoffs in Silicon Valley present a rare shot to snag top talent.

RIP Christine McVie
Don't forge that when Justice Thomas went after Obergefell, a sitting GOP congress person raised the issue of Brown V Board of Edudation, saying he would like it repealed.
THIS is where they are headed, racism, homophobia, genreal hate-isms.
They MUST be stopped.

For anyone who struggles with the term 'stochastic terrorism', the best-known example historically is Henry II who said 'will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?' arguably leading to Thomas Beckett's murder.
In other words, you put the idea out there KNOWING (or assuming) that someone will be nuts enough to act upon it.
THAT is stochastic terrorism.

Judge says Georgia GOP chair may not share a lawyer with other ‘alternate electors’
Judge Robert McBurney said that while the criminal exposure for those “alternate electors” may be limited and relatively comparable, Shafer is in a different category because of his central role as an organizer of the effort.

I didn't survive my childhood and 50 years of being Black and queer in a world that STILL wants to kill such people on sight by being angry and negative and screaming into the void and trying to fight unwinnable battles with faceless trolls. I survived by seeking LIGHT, by seeking KINDNESS, by embracing BOTH of those things in myself and ASCENDING to a mental and spiritual place that leaves evil powerless in my life. I help others by sharing who I am and whatever I can of that light.

Well, Mike Braun filed his paperwork to run for Indiana Governor in 2024. Fellow Hoosiers, we need to start now to make sure this does not result in his being elected! One bit of good(?!) news out of it…he won’t be senator anymore!! #INpolitics #politics
