Preparing for a doozy of a wind storm (35 mph for hours with gusts near hurricane force). We're as prepared as we can be but everything is saturated. Trees will be tested. Power connection interrupted. New ways to do 'batten' down quickly need to be discussed. Since this is a regular thing here.

1,607 words today. Now it's back to spreadsheet work. I'd rather be writing. But as soon as that's done, I get to go back to writing.

I'm digging down details on a few stories, but I'm very interested in hearing from any federal employees or contractors: * who are just seeing DOGE folks coming into your agencies now * about what has happened in the wake of a DOGE bomb: rehires, canceled programs, big changes, etc. Signal: crg.32

I really don't want to go back. We could have moved forward, but 150 million of you are colluding or complicit.

Just tell them you were being metaphorical, like when the J6-ers chanted HANG MIKE PENCE and were pardoned by Trump.

My dear Canadian neighbors. We miss you. But don't worry, we're not shopping at Target either. Or Trader Joe's. Turns out they both went through their villain origin stories. Sorry. 🍁💔

The postal service is absolutely critical for a modern democracy and don't let lord dampnut and muck rat convince you otherwise.

Leaving Xwitter was easy. Leaving Zuckville was easy. Boycotting all things Amazon, less easy, but done. Untangling myself from Google however is going to be a task that will take some time.

MAKE THOSE CALLS, WITCHES! "... if Trump/Musk suddenly throw you or a family member off Social Security claiming fraud ... The burden falls on you to contact Social Security offices to make your case—and good luck getting someone to answer the phone with the massive Trump/Musk layoffs."

from one Dept. of Education employee: “Many of these students are in crisis. They are counting on some kind of intervention to get that student back in school and graduate or get accommodations ... And now the federal government is literally doing nothing.” @propublica.org

Be like the French they say. OK: Americans must protest in pockets of 645,000 sq kilometers. We need 152,000 of these pockets. Even if we hit all 109,500 cities, and 3,144 county seats, we would still be shy on concentration of protesting. It's a big job. Keep going. A little goes a long way.

Unsurprisingly DOGE has gutted the Office of Personnel Management’s privacy team and also fired staff who process FOIA requests- another step toward dismantling systems for government accountability + transparency https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/18/politics/opm-privacy-team-fired/index.html

. Trump letting Elon Musk pressure #Boeing to rush Air Force One production isn’t just reckless—it’s peak Trump. He doesn’t care about aviation safety, national security, or taxpayer money. He just wants his gold-plated ego jet ASAP. Pro tip: he is a big fat liar AND a massive grifter. #Trump

Art is important. This article references artwork to explain current news. I used the same tactic on Patreon this week using diff. art & focuses on hexing the patriarchy. Art helps people understand their world. Support an artist today, you might block the stupid. www.thetimes.com/article/b3bb...
