For any friends who work for the Feds and need to come up with five bullet points to describe what you did at work last week, might I suggest that now is the time for malicious compliance?

I signed books at East City Bookshop, and I will see you on Thursday? Also I bought some Girl Scout Cookies and because it was the end of the day, I got to speak the dream phrase, “I will take all your Trefoils”

Balloon Juice is a good blog with a lot of smart commenters. My mom was Mexican so I'm celebrating Margarita Day and I've had a few. So I'll have a more cogent response tomorrow. But the notion that there's some 4d chess excuse for Jeffries being on a book tour for this book is fucking nonsense.

I've been off Bluesky since yesterday (as I try to do every Shabbat. It's a form of observance the Rabbis may not have anticipated, but it is one of the best forms of release I've found.) So who has Trump betrayed today?

I’m at this event. Didn’t see this but noticed the unusual amount of security including a magnetometer checkpoint (these antics happened outside it). Commented to a friend that’s a grim sign of the times, it’s not usual for this sort of conference. But also shows it wasn’t irrational paranoia.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Odd how the turns have tabled… Trump reversed course and admitted that Russia did, in fact, invade Ukraine. International news sources and independent media have stepped up to keep Americans informed.

Pretending that I'm a Tesla shareholder so I can post things like: As a Tesla shareholder, I demand a weekly email explaining what Elon Musk did last week to help Tesla, except sending a bunch of lovable, fired National Park Rangers to protest at our dealerships. Failure to respond is surrender.

She is right. One of the great orgs doing this is @amandalitman.bsky.social and @runforsomething.net. I think they said 20,000 people signed up since the election. If you’re interested but don’t know how, they will help you. Run or donate!

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

This is 100%. Almost everything in the constitution is general or implied. The document literally says there's going to be a post office and congress is in charge of setting it up, deciding what it's rules are.

Three months ago I asked you all for suggestions about a web platform for scrollytelling, and received a host of very good suggestions. We ended up going with Shorthand.com, which we found the fastest and easiest for non-designers to use. I've posted this before, but here's the website we built.

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

Don’t post front facing pictures of yourself maskless at protests. Don’t post front facing pictures of other people maskless at protests. Especially ppl of color. Seeing that all over with the Tesla stuff. You eagerly wanting to be seen doing something endangers both yourself and others.

Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now. So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof! 1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing. 2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.

Anti-DEI is an attack on civil rights by segregationists. Most white "allies" are completely silent while segregationists attack Black people and our civil rights. These silent "allies" without a shred of shame or self-awareness, fully expect Black voters to make sacrifices to save them at midterms

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

Arrests have a cost yall: - time in jail - bail - dealing with lawyers / courts - no contact orders - employment - travel restrictions Civil disobedience with the intention of provoking arrest has a time and a place. It's best done as part of a widespread, dedicated campaign supported by normies.

Something that's maddening about the cases involving DOGE access to our most sensitive private data and the irreparable harm standard is that the ACCESS ITSELF is the irreparable harm, and some judges just aren't getting that. (Some are, e.g., storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...)

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

This is the thing. As the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia showed in 1989, even a hard-communist regime relies at some level on the consent of the governed. We do NOT have to consent to Trumpism's flexes, illegal orders or their hoped-for sense of doom.
