Maybe someone who doesn't use Signal or a personal cellphone for work. Work that might mean people living or dying.

"Gone is “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” Maya Angelou’s transformative best-selling 1970 memoir chronicling her struggles with racism and trauma. Two copies of “Mein Kampf” by Adolf Hitler are still on the shelves." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

WOW — Heather Cox Richardson and Jasmine Crockett together?!🔥 Trump started implementing Project 2025 on his first day back in office. I can't imagine two more informed and empowering women to show us how to fight it. I just signed up — join me!

Once upon a time many years ago I worked in Corporate America. I was not management but somehow I got added to their email list. I told our admin, then just ignored all messages. But it was nothing like this. What if this journalist was unscrupulous? (gift article)

I just went to lunch with a dear friend. The restaurant is in the middle of a very conservative town by Southern California standards. I was eavesdropping on a couple of conversations that surprised me. Strong outward anti-Trmp, anti-fElon expressions by ~80-ish white ppl.

Oh, look! @schumer.senate.gov "postponed" his book tour because of all the pushback. It's time for new leadership.

To personalize this article, "Go ahead and stay silent, Sonnie. Let my fears rule me. Watch injustice happen. Just don’t act like I did not know and accept that I am the latest in a long line of cowards who learned nothing from the past." If I do this I've yielded my humanity.

"Make no mistake: The starving of Social Security’s administrative resources, which is currently taking place under the guise of ferreting out fraud and waste, is no accident. It’s part of a decades-long Republican project aimed at undermining public confidence in the program."

Commerce Secretary Lutnick blames Biden, of course but he also calls that guy in the White House "my President." Ugh!

#HuntingtonBeach is the worst! I have a dear lifelong friend who lives there but I'll meet up with her elsewhere. Not only will I never spend a dime there, I don't even want to breathe the same air as those horrid MAGAts. #Fascists

@cisneros.house.gov When are you going to have a Town Hall meeting? At your local swearing-in on Feb 15th you said "soon" and probably on Zoom. Tick-tock. Time is slipping away quickly as is our democracy. #DOSOMETHING
