@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

I can't make it through this garbage from the Dept. of Ed right now but will force myself to. I know they control a lot of funding but honestly if subscribing to this filth is required to get said funds, maybe it's time to find another way.

Roughly a million years ago, I worked as a defense contractor on the base known as the Arsenal of Democracy. One of the things I learned there was how crucial fire suppression systems are to combat vehicles. So imagine my bewilderment that anyone would think an uparmored Tesla was a good idea.

I had the honor to be the building host at work for an all day choral festival for treble voices and hearing these women and female presenting people of all ages, races, gender expressions, religions, beliefs all singing together was amazing.

Ok here is the thing with action/praxis/protest/showing up: Sometimes you contribute by being a megaphone. Sometimes by being a wallet. Sometimes by being a physical body. Sometimes by being fuel or being relief. If you can’t be one thing at any given moment you can almost certainly be another.

The sun still came up. The dog still wanted to play, even though it's-2F. The executive orders will upend our family's way of life, but not dangerously so. And we will do what we can.
