This is killing me. In game theory, “strategic uncertainty” is not “a strategy of creating uncertainty”. It is what one faces from interaction when there is no dominant strategy. If you want to create uncertainty in others about what strategy you are going to pursue, that’s a “mixed strategy”

Reminder: When Republicans say they “won’t touch Medicaid,” that is a LIE. Here’s their latest attempt to cut benefits—without taking responsibility. TL;DR: They want to shift Medicaid costs to states without the money to cover them. People will lose coverage. Read on 🧵👇

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

#AltGov was asked: #WhyWeStay on as gov workers. I can't go into detail about my work but I'll say this: There is a woman hidden on the West Coast who is married with a family. This was made possible by what we did to rescue her from traffickers when she was a child.

Literally we need to just bully the right. Go old school, third grade shit. Make fun of their glasses. Or their inability to stay on topic. Or their lack of moral compass. Just fucking bully them.

If you have the means, stock up on what you can. Think Covid 2020. If you have the added means, find the local charity of your choice and see what staples they routinely need for ops. Help em out. This could get rough. Even if Trump reverses it all today, the supply line bubble has already formed.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

#AltGov was asked #WhyWeStay in our jobs as feds. Can't lie, it's tough in such a toxic environment. We are terrorized daily by incompetent leaders. Many of us aren't allowed to do our jobs. Standing up to DOGE gets us marched out of the building. Yet around 75-80% of us remain, and here's why.

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

What they need is someone like myself who is a green energy person and who actually understands truck people. Tesla: Pay me nothing unless Tesla grows to $350B/year revenue in 5 years, with at least 15% gross margin, and a $1.5 trillion market cap. If we hit it, I get $2.5 billion in stock.

Happy Monday, Y’all! Ever wonder why feds stay? Why we don’t just quit? Over the next few days, your friends at #AltGov are going to tell you #WhyWeStay! Working for the VA is a way for me to give to my community and country, while providing healthcare outside for-profit healthcare systems.

Monday morning advice for FWS/DOI employees: 1) you can and should work on your resume during work hours. Say no to other tasks if needed. 2) recognize this is intentional trauma. This “exercise” is to demoralize you. Focus on what you can control to get through this.

A lot of media covering who is at the Pope’s funeral and high level meetings happening. I’ve yet to see a news outlet remind us why Putin isn’t there: he’s an alleged war criminal with active warrants for his arrest. No outcome of this war should be discussed that doesn’t involve him surrendering.

Seeing a lot of headlines using passive language like "2-year-old US citizen appears to have been deported". Shame there's no way to know which agency or organization is responsible for deportations.
