I am begging the media to put the focus on what was cut, and what the effects of those cuts are likely to be, rather than some nebulous topline number that implies to people that they’re actually doing what they say they are their “savings” will cost us far more than this, in money and terror

This is an incredibly warped perspective—like saying Dr Mengele is the only bright spot in your regretted vote for the Nazi government, to my ears—and I have a hard time thinking it has broader implications for politics.

If you need something that is a little less angering today–and we do indeed talk about censorship, so know that–I've got an interview with THE Gayle Forman today at Hey YA. This conversation was so enjoyable. bookriot.com/listen/an-in...

"The order will lead to 25,000 minors losing the legal representation they now have, as well as about 100,000 missing out on programs designed to educate them about their rights." They've stripped legal rep from immigrant children via a stop-work order to @acaciajustice.bsky.social. Call your reps.

This is fucking fire but also, amazingly, the judge is doing her damned best to establishing on the record that they don’t have a rational basis for their actions.

One of my biggest tips to people dealing with insurance issues! Also, calling the constituent services people at your legislators' offices (even if they are terrible, they can and usually will help with these things!). And ccing all those folks can help when you send a written appeal to a denial.

Same thing I noted with FAA. This is the goal. They'll cite decreased visitors as justification to drill, develop, lease out and destroy the parks. It's all in P2025.

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA. The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

It is the tiniest drop in the bucket in a world full of disaster but man does it feel cruel to finally be publishing a book I first queried 15 years ago only to not be able to work up an iota of energy or brainspace to promoting it. I thought I'd cry when I finally held it. But I'm so dead inside.
