Top officials at the US Department of Homeland Security received a memo on Friday ordering an immediate stop to work connected to climate change and the elimination of climate-related terms across the agency.

I hadn’t considered that federal government choices might impact my Airbnb, like this cancellation I just received today 😮

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

I can't lie, this is so soothing right now

A timely read this week by @ethannichtern.bsky.social : “Don't ever breathe in without breathing out. Don't practice taking in the pain of the world without also contemplating your own agency.”

Trump is considering executive action to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education

No Democrat is voting to confirm another Trump cabinet pick after today, right? RIGHT?

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

My humble advice, having studied the human mind deeply, is to ignore him completely. I don’t mean ignore his policies. We’ll have to organize to build a world that overcomes those. But as an ego, a persona, a media entity, ignore him completely. Never again say his name.

To say this would be a good year to have a meditation practice would be an understatement.

Give as little energy to the oligarchs as possible. Open your heart to the possibility of collective transformation, and imagine the basic goodness of humanity, which exists beyond this broken system. Don’t know much else right now, but I know these two are crucial.
