Not to be too pro technocrat, but it is astounding how much this country depended on the selflessness of like a few hundred thousand highly educated public servants who, for peanuts, made sure our food and medicine and environment etc were safe. And in return these servants were demonized.

“In a time of destruction, create something. A poem. A parade. A community. A school. A vow. A moral principle. One peaceful moment.” -Maxine Hong Kingston (from the book she wrote from scratch after her home burnt down and she lost all her drafts in the Oakland forest fires of 1991)

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

YOU earned your Social Security. You shouldn't have to wait in long lines, be put on hold, or be told you don't deserve it by Trump or Musk.   This Social Security Day of Action, we need to stand up together for the benefits millions of Americans should always be able to rely on.

Theory: 80% of Americans would have more confidence in their government if their income taxes were easier to complete. That means: - using plain, simple language - pre-calculating the amount you owe and explaining why you owe it - providing a receipt showing where the money goes
