In Oversight today, my colleagues stuck to their usual script: blaming immigrants for all crime & claiming Dem mayors are too soft. Well, I was curious to know if they’ve ever had an immigrant with a criminal record that they could recall. Tune in!

Reading up on Starlink (starting on Wikipedia), I stumbled across this paragraph. It could explain why USAID was targeted so quickly and ruthlessly by Elon Musk.

![Through his company SpaceX and division Starlink, Elon Musk's involvement in the Russo-Ukrainian War has been significant, and met with concerns.[27] In 2024, USAID's Inspector General notified Congress a probe was being launched to investigate, among other things, USAID's oversight of Starlink Satellite Terminals provided to the Ukrainian government.[28]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:codfx2epdduamfycuyi5fjpb/bafkreih6ojvp24tmbfqqw4dkbhudlxno6plqa2dhkzg7pxwsryw7ha3e4e@jpeg)

i asked an art elder for reassurance recently, i said “what is the role of the black artist in times of fascism?”
he said: “to create a world for us to imagine and calculate through art.” for me, my task remains that simple.

Doomerism isn't a strategy. Some things you can do today:
- Call the Congress switch line and complain (no, seriously)
- If you can afford to, boycott companies that rolled back DEI.
- Support Black-owned brands and Black art/writing/books
- Support local farmers
- Attend a DC-based protest

Tips to keep democracy alive in 2025:
1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it.

Felt called to rewatch 'Dune' last week, not sure why. Watched it in increments (including this part); finished it the night before hearing the news. RIP Mr Lynch.
