When I see people say “we are doomed, on an irreversible destruction course, nothing matters” I think, yes, that is true. But we’ve always been on an irreversible path towards death. The planet was never permanent. Finitude doesn’t mean nothing matters; it’s what makes things matter.

Dear Senator, please investigate DOGE firings of federal employees and access to confidential data. If Hillary's emails were a security threat, then so is DOGE. I also want to know where the billions in taxpayer money DOGE claims to be saving is going. Taxes are due very soon. @fetterman.senate.gov

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

Odds are good that someone in your life has received vital care at a university-affiliated hospital near you. Trump and Musk want to destroy them. Call your reps and demand they push back -- especially if they're Republicans. www.house.gov/representati...

At first I thought, why go after the NSF first? Why not low-hanging fruit like the NEH? Are they genuinely that rabidly anti-science? No, that's just the propaganda they spread. The end game is to take out the universities, period. Sciences have power, $$. If you take them out the rest falls easily.

All SEPTA service was suspended on my commuter rail line yesterday. Cost of a rideshare: $30-60 each way, depending on algorithm. Gee I wonder who stands to benefit if federal support for public transit is "disrupted" out of existence? Getting rid of Amtrak would force lots of people to buy cars.

Guest on Megyn Kelly this week: “So, that's the thing is the funniest joke we ever pulled on the Democrats was convincing them that Project 2025 wasn't real…it's over, we won, yes, we're going to do Project 2025. And the other thing is, it's good.”

If anyone is aware of organizations fighting the mass deportations and ways to provide aid to those being deported and their families, please share. Does anyone know where they are being taken - are they released, is it camps, black sites?
