After that shitshow with Trump, Vance, & Zelensky, I’d be sounding alarm bells if I was in Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, or anywhere else in Europe. The United States of America has officially become a puppet of Putin.

I predict cloud providers run by US companies are going to see some transitioning off their platforms, regardless of where the datacenters are located. I've talked to several international clients in the last two weeks asking about de-risking, accelerating after Patel was confirmed.

Now I’m thinking that starting out the morning/week blasting Big Black in my office is not the best idea. I just saying sorry to anyone in a meeting with me today. I’m a bit more on edge than usual and already tired of everyone’s shit. #nowplaying #musicsky #chicagopunk

Right-wing censors are now "quiet banning" books that they can't removed legally. Librarians in Chicago have been finding books dealing with race, LGBTQ+ issues or Islam hidden under shelves, in trash cans or otherwise "disappeared." www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/22/l...

I am pleased to announce that Whitman-Walker has returned a trans care resource, now under “primary care.” I am told the decision was to update today and that it is a case of bad timing, but also confirmed the reason why it was removed was fear of the Trump admin. Still. I am very happy it’s back.

📢 Chicago showed up! Federal workers & allies rallied to defend public services—and the turnout was huge. Social Security, Medicare, and veterans’ care belong to the people, not corporations. The fight continues. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com #SaveOurServices

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked. Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care. And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care! AMAZING
