Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

We need the best educated workforce in the world. We need the best teachers in the world. We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do. No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

ATTENTION: NSF GRANT RECIPIENTS We received a heads up from a trusted source that you should proactively download/print/screen shot any documentation on research.gov pertaining to your NSF awards, both those that are current and any that have closed in the last 5-6 years. 1/n

to start: funded research opps for people working at community colleges, publishing, public regionals, independent scholars, high teaching load institutions, etc. Allocate resources differently instead of tacitly still believing it’s magic that R1 & wealthy SLAC faculty just produce better work.

Today, churches across America are filled with men and women who cried "Give us Barabbas!" when offered the choice.

When this is all behind us, we’ll need to rebuild. Billionaires broke it, they should pay to fix it. Wealth caps, asset seizure for the enablers like Bezos, Musk, Zuck, and seizure of illegal assets gained during this period. The American people should not solely suffer the burden of reconstruction

A very important, elemental concept that I wish more people writing about policy understood is this: *one person’s cost is another person’s income** It’s the source of a whole lot of confusion and also an inherent source of conflict between different interests.

You're about to hear a LOT abt the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. You'll hear it was the basis for the WWII internment of Japanese Americans. Correct, but misleading. The legal authority for the roundup & imprisonment of 120K people of Japanese ancestry was an executive order, not the 1798 law.

Once again I am suggesting that you break some rules for practice. Get comfortable with breaking rules. When the rules are hurting other people, the right thing to do is break them. We need people who follow their moral code over the rules of their society, university, employer, and government.

When politicians do good things, we should tell them that we appreciate it. I'm proud of Congresswoman Foushee @foushee.house.gov for being up front here and showing courage.

Wrote up something about Techdirt's recent coverage, and why (whether we like it or not) we need to be a "democracy blog" now, rather than just a "tech" blog (not that we've ever been just a tech blog). This story is the story and it impacts everything else. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w...

I wish there was a way to quantify the collective amount of work lost due to stress and despair over the last few weeks, independent of barriers to funding.

@usedgov.bsky.social Acting Secretary Carter continues to ignore our request for a meeting. So today, we showed up at her doorstep. The American people deserve answers about Trump's plan to dismantle this agency which supports children with disabilities and K-12 schools nationwide.

My morning writing exercise for the past week or so has been messaging my congresswoman @foushee.house.gov begging her to do more. Yesterday, she joined protesters and now I don't know what to write to warm up. I have no illusions that I had any impact, but I'm still super pleased
