Dear SpaceX employees, I would recommend you find a new employer before you accidentally or purposely do something that can cause you to be prosecuted for espionage or treason. #TakeAStand #FireMusk

In case AirBnb is wondering, Joe Gebbia joining the Nazis in ransacking our country is why we deleted our AirBnb accounts. #AirBnb www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/u...

THIS. Yes.

Imagine if Barack Obama or Joe Biden said they were above the law. Imagine if Obama or Biden were pocketing tens of millions of dollars while they were in office. Imagine if Obama or Biden pardoned people who violently attacked the Capitol to prevent a Republican from taking office.

A gentle nudge to do what you can, as soon as you can, to build community outside of social media: phone/video dates, in person hang outs, town halls, strategy sessions, support groups, breaking bread together, commiserating over drinks, spaces for sharing resources, ideas and inspiration..

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Frederick Douglass was a writer, diplomat, advisor to President Lincoln and American hero. The Maryland National Guard is declining to march in the annual Douglass parade in his native Talbot County this year because he was Black and the DoD no longer does Black history wapo.st/3CQfK5g

To put Russia’s 250,000 dead in Ukraine in perspective, that’s more than 3X the number of US troops killed in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq combined, and all in three years rather than decades.

Thank God for Zelenskyy.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Today, in Germany, our Vice President met with Alice Weidel, the leader of the German Nazi party aka Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Nazis going to Nazi.

McConnell's legacy was sealed a long time ago. History will see his lone Republican votes "NO" & weigh them against the thousands of times he could have shut Trump down and nipped a Trump Presidency in the bud but didn't. He enabled the harm being perpetrated against our people & Constitution.

Dear Federal Reserve, you should say no to DOGE—an "agency" designed to be above the Constitution of the United States. With deep gratitude and love, 1st Cousin 8 times removed from the last President to try to close our (Second) National Bank.

A reminder: Elon's script kiddies are still inside our government's most secure and important computer systems and agencies. And if Booz Allen isn't worried by this then we should be even. more. concerned. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Food for thought...

A delightful and fascinating 22-minute history of Chicago's Deep Dish Pizza for the Chicagoans and those who love #Chicago or Chicago pizza. Take some time to watch it—Max Miller is a treasure and it's good medicine from headlines. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BbU...

No more LesserEvil Snacks owned by "Tiny's" Dad. No more shopping at stores that carry them unless they drop the brand: CVS, Walgreens, Target, Whole Foods, Jewel Osco, & Bockwinkels are distributors in Chicago. We do not support families that send their kids to steal & destroy our government.

Sell your Teslas, dump your stock, join the picket lines. Hurting Tesla is stopping Musk, and stopping Musk will help save lives and our democracy. The stakes couldn't be higher and no one is coming to fix this- not our politicians and not our media. It's up to collective effort.

Elon Musk has ZERO receipts for his claims of “fraud” in government agencies. But there seem to be a LOT of receipts showing that those same government agencies were investigating or regulating Musk and his companies.

Just a reminder: aligning your company & yourself with the racist and anti-American rhetoric coming out of the current White House is not just wrong, it is YOU putting your company and yourself on the wrong side of history. History (and the Wayback Machine) will record it. #dobetter #bebetter

Dear @searchliaison.bsky.social @dannysullivan.bsky.social my husband worked for Google many yrs ago & moved on only because we had to move to Chicago to care for my ailing mother-in-law. We're a Google family. But we're GREATLY disturbed by Google's renaming of the Gulf of Mexico on Google Maps &

I’ve spent a decade studying Russian info ops—every word they push now is pure distortion. Russian and some Western analysts will try to convince you all that Putin won’t end the war and Russia is stronger than ever. No, he is not. And real task is to make continuing war too painful for Russia.

I highly recommend writing opinion pieces to the musical stylings of Delilah Bon and Nina Simone.

This. I’d like this unpacked as well.

"Despair and believing that you are powerless is a form of 'obeying in advance.' People ARE doing things. You will meet those people when YOU start doing things." Concrete actions from @sifill.bsky.social, excellent as always.

This Black History Month I’m posting must-reads written by Black writers, historians, journalists, artists, scientists, educators, and other visionaries. Read them. Check them out from your local library. Buy them from a local Black-owned bookstore.

The stunning cowardice of the Republican Party in this moment will go down in the history books. They simply gave our government to a billionaire and cheered as it burned.

Outrageous.

Eliminating hallmarks of achievement from people of color and women in public life is a sign of weakness not strength. What incredible cowardice. Our heroes will not be erased. Diversity is a source of strength.

It's an intriguing part of Congress acquiescing to this coup. The GOP spent 45 years making the federal gov't subsidize red states and rural areas. E.g., if some greasy incel uses "fraud detection AI" to cut unusually high proportions of SSI/SSDI recipients, that'd be West Virginia (9.6%).

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Thinking of those in the Caribbean and Riviera Maya. Stay safe.
