Following Trump’s new Executive Order re: the S.F. Presidio, here’s a shareable link to an unrolled version of my highly sourced thread about the Tech Bros’ plan to build a “Freedom City” in the Presidio. The MSM has yet to connect these dots, & it’s driving me crazy! skywriter.blue/pages/did:pl...

Substack is going to keep on substacking unless writers move their newsletters elsewhere and we as readers stop reading people’s substack newsletters. We all have a part to play in taking this fucking platform down and making sure independent journalism stops being laundered through a nazi bar.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

The last report for the state university system in Missouri showed $6.5 billion in economic impacts and 69,000 jobs. Trump and Musk are threatening that success. That is the message that needs to be shared in every state.

Please remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people. Identify those people and block and shun them.

For mental health providers who are asking: How do we navigate all this and everyone else’s too? How do we sustain ourselves, our clients? What do we do when we can’t? How we may make use of our fury, sorrow, fear, our joy, our small victories?

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt. This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

When fascist forces, social media, mass media, propagandists and advertisers know more about how to harness our emotional responses than we do- that is beyond dangerous. You need to understand your emotional functioning better than they do. By pay-what-you-can donation

This is why I believe that small gestures are potent. This is not a matter of faith. This is what is real. Do what you can and never devalue even the smallest actions you can muster.

Is what’s going on too simple to see? By force, a white male power structure is in the process of seizing back control, and as ever they can’t hold onto power without subjugation and scapegoating and coercion and violence. That doesn’t really seem like chaos, it’s America like clockwork.

An unelected, erratic, ketamine-addled billionaire with far right/white nationalist views has taken control of the personnel and payment systems of the United States government. Not an exaggeration, not hyperbole.

I’m always surprised that the primary notion of forming local communities (which I encourage when feasible!) isn’t acknowledged as always safe or feasible at all for many people depending where they are, etc. There is more than one way to forge a network of mutual support

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

I’m a fan of dramas set in hospitals, I like having them on in the background for company. I know they’re all totally unrealistic, but it occurred to me yesterday just how unrealistic they are, every single one: not one show with Filipina nurses. If I’m wrong let me know which one so I can watch!

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

A financially secure and psychologically invulnerable “helping class” located outside of disaster, oppression, disease, disability, abuse is a myth. The helpers have targets on their backs or are in danger of sinking just like everyone else.

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger explains the difference between a CR (continuing resolution) and an omnibus bill to show how all the MAGA sharing the photo of the bigger omnibus bill next to the CR are being shady. A CR will inevitably be smaller than an omnibus bill & they expect you not to know it.
