Odd that those criticizing @gtconway.bsky.social for endorsing Diane Seltzer because he isn't a member of the DC Bar, ignore the fact that I have as well and I am a member. Vote Diane Seltzer for DC Bar president.

Kash Patel is the living definition of waste, fraud, and abuse—all on the taxpayer’s dime. Flying private to see his girlfriend, skipping critical meetings, and totally unfit for the job he was never qualified for in the first place. But hey… playing FBI Director is rough work.

The Trump administration was ordered to stop cutting research grant funding, and has claimed in court to be following that order. Now, a whistleblower is claiming they've continued cutting funding anyways. Court orders are NOT optional.

A hateful thing to say. People whose approach to life is not faith-based have done enormous good, majority non-religious societies have been some of the strongest proponents of human dignity and solidarity. Why is the BBC just printed this unchallenged? If it's "news", it should be balanced.

I wrote this in November 2024. It was a difficult thing to write then, and it is a depressing thing to read now. And yet I share it because I think we still need to ask ourselves how far we will go.
