This is a serious immediate danger to abortion clinic workers and volunteer escorts. Anti-abortion activists spent decades conducting a campaign of terrorism, bombings and murder targeting doctors and abortion clinic workers. This is a green light from the administration

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

Should you refuse to show compassion because you believe it would make you appear weak, then you have misunderstood what strength is. It is honorable to have concern for others, to show empathy and to offer aid to someone in distress. To rebuke this is cowardice, not strength.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

MSNBC is purging diverse voices while feeding exclusives to Rupert Murdoch’s right-wing propaganda machine. Joy Reid? Gone. Jonathan Capehart? Gone. Ayman Mohyeldin? Gone. Katie Phang? Gone. Who’s next? The media war isn’t coming—it’s already here.

Some people will look at this and only see how foolish it is. But what it also is an attempt to set up a blameless, unaccountable arbiter by inserting automation into a “decision making” process. And tbh I wish more people at more news outlets would call that out.

Just think about this: The United States is siding with Russia. In the single greatest attack on freedom, democracy, and sovereignty in Europe since WW II, the United States of America is opposing freedom/democracy, and is actually siding with the invader/dictator. Shameful.

Friends, the word “radical” comes from the Latin word meaning “root.” To be politically radical does not mean fringe. To be radical is to focus one’s attention on the roots of the systems that govern us, such as Capitalism. Fundamental, systemic change requires radical thinking and action. ✨🌲✨

I think everyone should apply for a DOGE job. Or at least, you know, fill out the form. Maybe even apply for other people. Fictional people, even. Inanimate objects. In this form right here. doge.gov/join

It is important to keep planning moments of safety, comfort and joy. It might feel goofy to prioritize, but they also give me the strength to keep going and deal with the chaos of the current moment. Small things still make a difference, including how you take care of yourself.
