Form the equivalent of a "shadow cabinet": have a spokesperson to shadow every significant official in the Administration, and make sure that person speaks out and counters every statement, decision and policy in their "portfolio". Give the media a focus/contact point on everything.

Nothing to see here, just President Trump doing the exact thing he ran against Biden/Harris for doing. Can't wait to hear the goalposts get moved to explain how it's fine this time but not before.
NBC News has learned that some of those arrested during the Trump administration's post-Inauguration Day crackdown on undocumented immigrants have already been released back into the U.S. on a monitoring program, sources familiar with the operations say.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

I love little-d democracy. Town wants to install a synthetic turf field over a natural turf one, citizens group opposed it and filed a petition to have a ballot referendum, and today the town votes on it.

After watching the new Dune movies I decided to check out the actual books themselves in audiobook format. Cannot recommend this series enough. Scott Brick does an amazing job bringing these stories to life. Just finished the Butlerian Jihad 24 hrs of content) in five days. 10/10.

Embarrassing. They're going to feel so stupid in 10 years when nobody's wearing dead salmon hats anymore.
Orcas start wearing dead salmon hats again after ditching the trend for 37 years
Orcas off the coast of Washington State are balancing dead fish on their heads like it's the 1980s, but researchers still aren't sure why they do it.

Security pro tip: if you find a USB key on the ground somewhere, DO NOT plug it in to your home computer.
Take it to the office and plug it in there. They have way better software that will mitigate any threats.
