I was just watching a startup panel and someone on staged asked a pointed question about 4 “big sobering moments” in recent history:
- 9/11
- the financial meltdown
- the COVID pandemic
- Trump II
No matter how much people dislike other politicians, there’s only 1 that fits in this set.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

Things you could have done last week without getting a ticket from the Berkeley police: ran a stop sign on the wrong side of the road speeding with your lights out at night while display no license plates or fake license plates on your car with illegally tinted windows across a crosswalk.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

This one's a doozy: the affluent Bay Area suburb of Menlo Park is considering turning 3 downtown parking lots into housing, and people are *furious.*

One reason I left Twitter was because of the nonstop (in-) fighting between the centre/centre left and the left in housing circles. In an effort to build a bridge early on here, I’m going to talk about my experience, both lived, and as an academic/activist. To kick things off: zoning is racist.
