Today's @boschbot.bsky.social/Washington Post headline mashup: "Judge Extends Temporary Block to Huge Cuts in National Institutes of Health Research Funding" Those ears with nothing between them but a big knife are as perfect an allegory for current federal budget cutters as anyone could ask for.

Important thread for those of us who were more or less free to protest safely under the old rules, from someone who knows the dangers of protesting under conditions of greater surveillance and covert government infiltration. Ground conditions are different now.

Rejoice! I've been resisting signing up for any more streaming services, but for this adaptation of the Murderbot Diaries, I will shell out the bucks to Apple, with a smile on my face and a song in my heart.

As a US citizen who still does share your values, I also urge you to sign. I’m so sorry about our ongoing coup. We’re trying to stop it from over here. Petitions like this can help stop it from everywhere else.

I could save several hundred thousand dollars by not paying my mortgage, but then I would not have a place to live. It's not savings if you're not considering the consequences, which is a thing people who have to live with finite resources understand better than billionaires.

A thread honoring federal employees who have refused to dance to the the Musk/Trump tune, including some who put the administration to the trouble of physically removing them from their offices. I love the quotation below from Hagan Scotten's resignation letter.

Enjoy our independent judiciary! If we fight hard enough, we may get to keep it. The America we lived in before November was far from perfect, but the possibility of judges like this one is something worth keeping.

Order your free covid tests from store.usps.com/store/result... before DOGE has them destroyed. If you refrained because you could afford to buy them while others needed free ones, get them now and give them to local people in need. Don't let them go to waste.

Too much news exposure was about to make my head explode, but then I saw these charming cats having tea, and it seems possible to save at least some small parts of the world. Here, have some Tea Cats!

When my mother was 2 years old, she and her sister caught measles. My mother lived, though she struggled with autoimmune problems ever after. Her sister Carolyn died, age 7, of measles encephalitis. Generations later, we feel her absence. Ten years later, the vaccine became available. Please use it.

On @raskin.house.gov's virtual town hall call. He quotes his father: "When everything seems hopeless, you're the hope." Keep protesting, keep suing, keep trying to get your Foxified friends and relatives better informed. It's all making a real difference.
