Been mad about the US health exploitation system for a long time, and now I'll have to wrestle with it after breaking a bone. Can't wait to find out how much I'll still owe for ER + x rays etc on top of my monthly >$400 premium.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I love plants because they are teachers for how to be. Trees turn shit and gas into breathable air. Flowers are beautiful but only last for a minute so appreciating them means knowing they’ll be gone. And everything that dies feeds something else. Nothing is useless. It helps.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Doge is auditing NASA today. This is absurd. The owner of Space X should not be auditing NASA. It’s a massive conflict of interest.

One thing that I'm increasingly coming to believe is that stories are going to be central to what comes next. Stories of the harm done. Stories of the great things achieved by government in the past. Stories of valor kindness and quotidian simple resistance.

I need these congressional democrats to stop wringing their hands and acting like this is a normal, if unpleasant, political situation. Dig in your heels, create obstacles, filibuster, refuse to negotiate with these cretins. They're turning your inches into miles and they don't care about decorum.
