At @expo.dev, we want to build the best framework and infrastructure for app creators. My co-founder, @ccheever.com, has long had a guiding vision for creators to go from an idea to an app in people's hands as fast as possible. I think about this as democratizing software: expo.dev/ai/strategy

I help operate 2 of these "Small Businesses Nationwide". We met our Beneficial Ownership Information reporting requirements in <15 min for both cos, thanks in part to our cap table mgmt tool (Carta). It was NOT burdensome to do our part to combat the illegal activity enabled by corporate anonymity.

Yup, this would have brought together experts to share the latest findings on respiratory virus transmission. The meeting is canceled, but the continuing spread and evolution of H5N1 and other respiratory pathogens is not. In the middle of the game, the defense is walking off the field.

BIG: DC Metro Police decided they had sufficient evidence to arrest sitting GOP Congressman and sent warrant request to USATTY's office. Acting USATTY Martin, who's been explicitly acting as Trump's personal attorney, ignored it. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/big-b...

New Orleans is one of the worst examples of this. Claiborne Avenue was a vibrant corridor with markets and parks and lined with 200-yr old oak trees. But it was a black neighborhood, so the ripped up all the trees and ran I-10 straight through a dense residential neighborhood

“Defeating the Measles Demon”, by Utagawa Yoshifugi from 1862, when a massive measles outbreak hit Tokyo and killed thousands. As written in the description, the “wry humour [of these prints] encouraged social solidarity and gave hope and levity to people affected by the virus”. Link to info below.

This @christianitytoday.com piece on Elon's illegal, unconstitutional attack on USAID is important. Christians I know keep voting for Trump and the Republican party over one issue: pro-life policies on abortion. We need you now! Innocent lives are being sacrificed for greed and power.

Well, if we can call an international body of water a new name, we can surely call trans people by their names and pronouns, too.

Darren Beattie, Trump’s new acting Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, once posted, “Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work.” Beattie also posted I need to “learn” my “place” and “take a knee to MAGA.” 1/2

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

1. There have been plenty of debates about whether or not Trump and his circle are fascists. In this column, I argue that the debate solves nothing. What we’re seeing is a reversion to the default state of politics in centralised societies: autocratic tyranny. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As as follower of Christ, this dismays me. Not just because of the greed and power-seeking that are incompatible with the teachings of the gospel, but also because I strongly believe that the separation of church and state is ultimately for the protection of the church as much as it for the state.
