Before Black History Month ended I wanted to slide in a mention about Phillip Micheal Thomas. A noted actor in Film and TV, one of his performances is a motivating factor behind the start of this podcast and I will never forget his charisma or commitment

These people are nothing but an embarrassment to this country. These people have shown nothing but competency past all odds. Fuck you, Vance.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

There are a lot of people on here smugly telling people that protests don't work, that boycotts are pointless. These people are part of the problem, not the solution. Taking action, even at the most base level, as opposed to only calling reps, or posting, is a highly effective form of engagement.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

Can't stress enough that posts like the one below aren't coming from random, alarmist bozos. Like this one is from Dr. Kevin Elliott, a political scientist at Yale University specializing in democracy, ethics and institutions.

It really is reasonable to ask how we could possibly ever forgive our fellow Americans for voting for what is happening to us right now and what is going to continue to happen for years and years. I mean the simple answer would be... we just don't, right? Ever? Because some things are unforgivable?

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Remember when the U.S. helped rebuild Europe & condemned Russian attacks on European democracies, as opposed to encouraging such an attack & demanding the attacked democracy’s mineral wealth?

Everything that we warned the American public about regarding RFK Jr. is already happening. An excerpt from an OpEd that @jimalwine.bsky.social and I published. We wrote about about what happened in Samoa with the measles outbreak there and said, simply: “The same will happen here”.

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

A wealthy old white guy wrote an oped saying the Dems need to roll over and play possum the same day another white guy's oped said The Coup had failed and was over, the same day NBC killed several shows hosted by POC. That's all you need to know about who's fighting for and against the status quo.
