Wouldn’t it be nice if people remembered the idea of a “society?” You know—the idea that we live in a society together, and share its costs and responsibilities?

@aoc.bsky.social: "Every time you see Tom Homan, every time you see Kristi Noem... understand that they are taking attention, focus, dollars, and real resources away from actual drug enforcement, trafficking enforcement, and actually going after and trying to investigate really harmful activity."

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Brave to @jeffstein.bsky.social, WaPo's chief economics correspondent, for not wasting any time in stating what must be stated. Hopefully the first of many.

Let’s face it. Getting rid of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is to make way for less qualified white men to take positions they don’t deserve.

My wife and I have been donating to United 24 since the first month of the war, every month. We met Ukrainians in our neighborhood and even those who travel to Ukraine to give aid. They recommended United 24. You can trust United 24.

Kaine: "Why race-bait at a moment like this? I think POTUS didn't want to be asked tough questions like, why did you let Elon Musk force the FAA administrator to resign... why did you scrap an aviation safety advisory committee on the 2nd day of your presidency?... why did you issue a buyout offer?"

Congress created USAID through the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, and JFK launched it by executive order. Donald Trump can’t kill it with an executive order. Only Congress can.

Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and offer them to small to medium size businesses. Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations . Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ? Thoughts ?
