Probably not wise to send me an exit survey on why I am leaving your service when the reason is nothing I personally did. Your company decided to pull out of operating in my state and cancelled my service because you don’t want to comply with new laws that tell you to not cheat customers.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

NEW: Now-former Census Bureau Director Robert Santos says in an open letter to the bureau’s staff that his family situation required him to step down, adding, “in all honestly, stormy weather lies ahead. Yet, the Census Bureau’s mission remains as a beacon of hope” www.linkedin.com/posts/santos...

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

Tourmaline has the first biography of Marsha coming in May. You can preorder now: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/677583...

I’m reading the RIF EO but not going to panic yet. They basically have to ignore an entire Title of the US Code and there will be major pushback.

These cats 🥰

This is uncomfortably me.

In the span of 45 mins this afternoon

The people complaining that other people enjoyed the Super Bowl and how can you enjoy something so meaningless in the face of fascism? Go have some fun. You won’t make it if you don’t set some time aside for yourself to have some fucking fun. Fascists want you to be miserable. Don’t help them.

Somewhere Lamar Jackson is cackling.
