I passed a small group of young women listening to music in the park on my walk to the butcher shop this morning.

If 79% of Americans oppose "transgender FEMALE athletes" competing in women's sports, imagine how many oppose MALE athletes in women's sports!

WASHINGTON (AP) โ The IRS will lay off thousands of probationary workers in the middle of tax season, according to two sources familiar with the agency's plans, and cuts could happen as soon as next week.
This comes as the Trump administration intensified sweeping efforts to shrink the size of the federal workforce, by ordering agencies to lay off nearly all probationary employees who had not yet gained civil service protection.
It's unclear how many IRS workers will be affected.
Previously, the administration announced a plan to offer buyouts to almost all federal employees through a "deferred resignation program" to quickly reduce the government workforce. The program deadline was Feb. 6, and administration officials said employees who accept will be able to stop working while still collecting a paycheck until Sept. 30.
However, IRS employees involved in the 2025 tax season were told they will not be allowed to accept a buyout offer from the Trump administration until after the taxpayer filing deadline, according to a letter sent recently to IRS employees.
It is unclear how many workers will be impacted by the layoff announcement plan. Representatives from the U.S. Treasury and IRS did not respond to Associated Press requests for comment.
Jan. 27 was the official start date of the 2025 tax season, and the IRS expects more than 140 million tax returns to be filed by the April 15 deadline. The Biden administration invested heavily in the IRS through an $80 billion infusion of funds in Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act, which included plans to hire tens of thousands of new employees to help with customer service and enforcement as well as new technology to update the tax collection agency.
Republicans have been successful at clawing back that money, and billionaire Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency have called for the U.S. to "delete entire agencies" from the federal government as part of his to radically cut spending and restructure its priorities.
Elected officials are trying to fight against DOGE plans. Attorneys general from 14 states challenged the authority of to access sensitive government data and exercise "virtually unchecked power" in a lawsuit filed Thursday.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington, says the actions taken by Musk at the helm of DOGE can only be taken by a nominated and Senate-confirmed official. It cites constitutional provisions that delineate the powers of Congress and the president.

Wow. 2 million people have viewed my reels in the past 30 days. Is that a lot for some of you? Probably not. To somebody, who just one month ago, bought a new computer brush up on his video editing, and was sitting on a few years of emotionally-charged raccoon footage he didn't think he'd ever get around to? It's fantastic.
Swipe on over to my reels tab to see what I've been working on (I keep them separate from my posts). There's some car stuff, mostly raccoon stuff, and a lot of repeats as I figured out what worked, what didn't, and realized all of the different ways I could cut the footage.
I was pleasantly surprised to see just how much footage I have of One, Two, and Four's short life. It's taken about two years for me to be able to watch it, but now that I have I am so glad I've had the opportunity to share them with the world. They were truly the best raccoons I've ever had, and I've had a lot of raccoons pass through my life. I plan on doing something more long-form with the footage at some point, but my creativity needs a recharge as I'm getting quite frustrated with the process.
For those of you who've endured this somewhat obsessive and absolutely obnoxious episode, I thank you. Things will likely be slowing down now, however, as I'm running out of good footage and time to waste.
Here's hoping somebody brings me some orphaned babies this spring.

On a more serious note, thank you, rDrama for putting up with my bullshit. For a select few of you though, go frick yourselves and just ignore it if you don't like it lmao. My goal for the month was to become a raccoon influencer on IG and goddarn I did it. What have you accomplished this month that was so great?

These don't have to be explicitly political. Just something that can be applied to our politics. Unfortunately while the writing in Madoka Magica is top tier and the story makes me feel in ways that few other forms of media can, it does not do politics very well which is why I took my favorite quote from a series that is actually based around geopolitics.
In a way this quote truly encapsulates the condition of our current political system, and in a way it mirrors the shinobi world quite well. For example we don't get to choose our sides. People act like we get a choice but there just are not many options. For example like the shinobi, we are given a village, a country. And that country can be segmented down into clans, families, and many other forms of allegiances. All of these are decided entirely by the nature of our own birth, rather than our own choices.
We are guided only by the necessity to make the most prudent choice. We are expected to be part of the group and sacrifice our entire being for its benefit. Like the shinobi each one of us is little more than a tool to be discarded when we are no longer useful. Is that not the way things should be?
Anyways, I'm excited to see your favorite anime quotes that can be applied to political systems! If anyone finds away to do this with the Madoka Magica series please let me know! I have been trying to find a way for years but it just doesn't seem to fit.
