It took ten years, but the NYT finally got there

They want us to be afraid. They want us to hesitate. They want us to fear their next move. Fuck that shit. We are just getting started fighting.

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.

Kill the doomer in your head. And long as we’re here there’s hope. And as long as we’re here there are opportunities to act. People, both in the U.S. and around the world, have always organized and struggled through seemingly impossible conditions. www.jphilll.com/p/kill-the-d...

Elon Musk and his interns meddling in aviation safety is truly terrifying.

We have no choice but to fight.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

Really weird watching a coup in real time from my desk at work, putting in my usual hours. In the movies, everyone is at home or on the streets protesting. Makes it feel surreal.
