A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Donald Trump promised to lower food prices. Instead, he fired the experts in charge of containing the bird flu. Yep – the same bird flu that’s part of the reason egg prices are surging.

It’s almost like none of this was fraud waste or abuse, but simply a bunch of un- and misinformed narcissists who didn’t understand how much a government does for its people.

Elon Musk owns a 12% stake in Tesla. Thanks to nationwide protests and international boycotts, Tesla stocks have plummeted in recent weeks, reducing his net worth by over $100 billion. We can do better.

Yesterday, I attended the Elizabeth Warren rally/photo op at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and got so mad, I stompy-stomped off in mid-rally. This is why. Elon Musk, who no one voted for, is in control of the federal government and is destroying it agency by agency. It’s a coup.

SpaceX, which holds billions of dollars in government contracts, was penalized by the FAA for ignoring regulations. In response, Musk pushed for the resignation of the agency’s chairman.

Honestly I would stop saying things like "NIH" and "indirect costs" and "grants" and even "university". I would say things like, "Donald Trump defunded childrens hospitals."

Thank you!! A federal judge in New York has granted a temporary restraining order in favor of the states suing over DOGE.

When protestors uttered the slogan “defund the police” the national media had a massive freak out. But now that Trump wants to actually gut the FBI and (it would seem) illegally fire 1000s of people who work there, the same media sees it as a curiosity, a dull bureaucratic matter.

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.

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.
