Dox them. And their parents. And their parents’ companies’ shareholders. Their parents’ companies’ shareholders’ bankers. Every desperate hanger-on who didn’t say no. Every VC who ever said yes. It is because the privileged are allowed to act with impunity that they act with impunity. Ruin them.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

If you're represented by a Republican and you care about the post office, how about flyering outside your local post office. Tell folks about the administration's plan to dismantle USPS and tell them to contact their GOP reps. Include local telephone numbers on the fliers. bsky.app/profile/sylv...

I just decided not to turn 51 today. Going to start aging backwards, so I think I have to be 50 for another year before turning 49.

Social Security has a payment accuracy rate of over 99 percent. Only 0.3 percent of Social Security benefits are improper payments, which are typically caused by mistakes or delays. That's better than any private insurance company. www.cbpp.org/blog/setting...

For all the USPS's faults, Americans have to realize: It's one of the best postal services in the world, even after being kneecapped by DeJoy. Fight for our postal service, guys. I know I will. It is an essential public good.
