If you want a version of the insanity that you can share with your “conservative” family members and friends, @hcrichardson.bsky.social does a great job summarizing with sources. Ya know, that whole historian thing.

Because @scalzi.com hasn’t put it up on his feed (at least when I posted this). Some very sane words about boycotting people. Nothing is perfect but help how you can and drop the purity crap people. whatever.scalzi.com/2025/03/12/t... Now go throw sand…

If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen? We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.
