There is no conceivable way that the head of the BLS could have manipulated this number. The numbers are in line with what we're seeing from all kinds of private sector sources. This is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. @ThisWeekABC with George Stephanopoulos

@TimMurray54 It was superb. That is excellent cinema but came out at the wrong time unfortunately.

@pait @Nouriel It means that Powell is less likely to intervene when things get bad versus Trump will at the first sign of trouble. Lower put means slower intervention.

To President Zelenskyy, From an Embarrassed American,

Dear President Zelenskyy,

As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here.

I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders.

For the past decade I, like many of those who call this place home, have marveled at your courage, your resilience, and your dignity in the face of the unthinkable atrocities committed against you and your people by Vladimir Putin and his accomplices.

With every passing day, my respect for you has grown as I have witnessed you lead with a humanity that has steadfastly defied the inhumanity of those assailing you.

In the face of a sustained, violent, raw-throated hatred you’ve never responded in kind. Throughout the vicious and incessant attacks on both your nation and your character, you have never compromised yourself, never allowed yourself to be defined by the bigotry of your assailants, and you never disrespected them or let them win by becoming as monstrous as them.

I hope you realize that I and tens of millions of Americans stand with you and the Ukrainian people—and firmly against Donald Trump, JD Vance, and the Republican Party.

We are ashamed of their disrespect, their lack of empathy, and their partnership with your oppressors. We are mortified at their endorsement of and collaboration with this attempted genocide.

Though our voices will never be as loud or impactful as theirs are, we needed you to know how much we abhor that you are having to endure this terrible ugliness in the name of our nation—and that their voices do not represent us.

President Zelenskyy, the vast majority of this Americans are fully sickened to our core by the violence visited upon you every day. In the small spaces of our lives we are moving in solidarity with you: displaying your flag, publicly advocating for you and your people, and pushing back against the hatred here that you are on the receiving end of.

These words likely bring very little solace in the face of all that is upon your shoulders, the immeasurable suffering your people have already endured, and the unfathomable fears you all carry—but they are nonetheless, words I needed to say to you.

I am but one human being, just a single American; and yet I know that I represent tens of millions of similarly outraged, similarly broken-hearted, similarly grieving people here who will continue to support you with our finances, our prayers, and our voices.

We know that you are a man of peace and that you are not the aggressor here. We see through the propaganda of our clearly-compromised President. We condemn his cowardice, his ignorance, and repugnant disregard for you as a human being and for your great nation.

We believe that the people of Ukraine deserve sovereignty, safety, and to live freely, and we are so very sorry that our own leadership is making this all less possible for you, that America has become an adversary instead of an ally.

May you be protected, may your nation endure, may our nation transcend our leaders, and may we all arrive on the other side of these incredibly dark days in the dawn of a world that will be more compassionate and beautiful than this one.

With regret and grief over our leaders, and in gratitude for you,

An Embarrassed American

Please share this in solidarity and co-sign in the comments.

@ZelenskyyUa We stand with Ukraine. What happened in the Oval Office does not represent us. Keep going President Zelenskyy. History is not kind to bullies.

@LuedtkeAllison They did the same thing to me, and I had to harass the editor. Funny thing is both referee reports were identical, one recommended revise and the other, reject.

However you feel about Joe Biden, this was clearly an excruciatingly difficult decision that in the end demanded an uncommon amount of humility, selflessness, and patriotism.

@EarthAwareness @netflix Oh my god, just finished it and thought the same thing. The culture is indeed very cult like. But they have to, to not pay them.

@tyleransom So on point! Looking at research as small daily tasks makes it less overwhelming and definitely makes one more productive. Creativity is also a very important component.
