Put on my snob hat for a sec to say that one thing you have to learn before they let you get a PhD is how to identify what you don’t know that you don’t know. Imagine if more people with power knew how to do that 🥴

Heads up that I’m running for president in 2032 (I will not be old enough in 2028). Platform mostly on making it windier if I can. Just letting everyone know to keep eye out for that in advance

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

Bezos isn’t “bending the knee.” Corporate media isn’t either. The oligarchs aren’t scared or capitulating, they’re part of a coup in the middle of an aggressive class war. The longer we keep framing it otherwise the worse it’s going to get. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-birth-...

My favorite Kurt Vonnegut quote--"you are what you pretend to be"--comes from Mother Night, a novel about an American spy who pretends to be a Nazi propagandist only to realize later in life he was just being a Nazi propagandist

This is my “daughter of a Black Panther breakfast program volunteer” coming out but anyone who tells you that you have to be public about all your resistance activity should immediately be under suspicion for being an op, or being under the influence of an op

I see a lot of confusion about why they’re dismantling the federal government to fill capitalists’ pockets when that’s so obviously shortsighted. The answer is that there is simply no where else for capitalism to go.

I will say again: The destruction of the CFPB—an agency that has brought in $20 billion over a little more than a decade despite having an annual budget that's less than what DOD has spent so far today—is the clearest sign none of this has anything to do with saving taxpayers money.

Why not pilot a cargo ship like a jon boat? Why not turn a massive powerful machine on a dime? Now go in to the engine room and yank out parts that look like they might be loose, throw them overboard. Set the rudder perpendicular to the stern. Gun the engine. What could go wrong?

I am really outdone. The Maryland National Guard cannot celebrate Frederick Douglass, the state’s native son and perhaps the greatest American this nation ever produced, because he’s Black and his chosen birthday happened to fall during Black History Month. (Ask me why he had to choose is b-day)

The fetishization of literature as an empathy-generation process both overvalues empathy as a mode of understanding and undervalues literature, which rather than just creating empathy is the art form of interiority. You can gain more than empathy from direct contact with the interiority of another
