This is corruption.

My open letter to Elon Musk.👇 Mr. Musk, You recently criticized me and another prominent lawyer fighting for the rule of law and democracy in the United States. I am used to being attacked for my work, particularly on the platform you own and dominate. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Something that's maddening about the cases involving DOGE access to our most sensitive private data and the irreparable harm standard is that the ACCESS ITSELF is the irreparable harm, and some judges just aren't getting that. (Some are, e.g., storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...)

are we still America's allies now that America is openly using Kremlin propaganda? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk0n...

America, now is not the time to sit down, but rather, stand up! Keep going ❤️🤍💙

I’m wondering if Americans are across this? This is serious. This is beyond your political opinion, this is about your security.

For our American friends. My goodness, if it’s not going to be a long 4 years. God bless America and heaven help us all.

Random computers being plugged into federal networks is obviously terrifying in terms of what data they're deliberately accessing, but it's also terrifying because it implies controls are being disabled - unmanaged systems should never have access to this data. Who else has access to those systems?

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

I’m proud to call the amazing cartoonist Ed Wexler a friend.

This has always been my pick for a new flag.

Always was, always will be

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

When the elements align… sunrise in the right spot; cloud height and density; classic Sydney architecture; and a kayaker in the golden glow. What a way to start a Wednesday.

At least we’re not America H/t @sammyjcomedian.bsky.social youtu.be/CR7V8tPxvG4?...

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

Australia has a federal election looming in 2025. All sides of politics will call Education, Healthcare, Public Housing ‘costs’. They are NOT, they are INVESTMENTS. Change the rhetoric. Call the them out. #auspol

I’ve discovered the limits of noise cancelling tech in my AirPods. It deals with the traffic at the corner of Punt and Swan, but the voice of an Indigenous mother giving a wayward child a final warning cuts through with ease. A rock and roll voice, love and power, our nation should have listened.
