All top level Dems need to do a united presser every day and highlight every crime committed by a pardoned January 6er. Hang them all on Trump. They also have to highlight every nightmare story his DOGE cuts are creating. They have to personalize every narrative. Every day.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

My kids and I have been discussing why we no longer shop at Target. Not only do we stop contributing to profits of amoral corporations, but we get better service. Great experiences of late at Groth Music, Seward Coop, CalSurf, and Freewheel Bike.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

Just an evergreen callout: if you’re affected by Trump’s EOs regarding trans or nonbinary federal workers/contractors/student athletes, please contact me on Signal — kurtzleben.01 — to tell me what’s up. I am keeping my eye on this and want to tell what’s happening.

Here are a few circuits made with components from the factories where my parents worked. My family and many other refugee, immigrant, brown, and black families built what is now Silicon Valley and the technological economic powerhouse of the US. On view now at the MCA-SB Satellite Space.

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

Hear me out — If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is. Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.
