The lesson of the Holocaust was not that the Jewish people, in particular, should be protected from this unbelievable darkness within humanity, but that we all should.
The survivors have only been dead a short while, and we seem to have already forgotten. Never is a long time, alas.

Billionaires are a policy failure.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.
The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

I'm not a historian but am well-studied in WWII.
Just as we've forgotten some lessons of the Holocaust, we have also forgotten our US history of fascist sympathies.

Black heroes *are* heroes.
If we were white, if we were Irish, if we were Jewish, if we were Poles...if we had in fact a minor frame of reference, our heroes would be your heroes too. Nat Turner would be a hero for you instead of a threat. Malcom X might still be alive."

This is the likely path to impeachment: tariff -> shipping collapse -> trucking collapse -> pressure to prosecute one of the many excesses of power.
For those who don't know, driving an 18-wheeler is the #1 job in *more than half of all states*. The will turn into a sort of kitchen table calamity the likes of which this country has never known. Also, because so many of them are technically self-employed, their access to benefits will be minimal.

It’s unreal - the DOD deleted its page for Charles Calvin Rodgers, a Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded three times while defending against three assaults on his base in Vietnam. Now the URL includes “DEI Medal of Honor.” There’s something about Rodgers I don’t even have to tell you

18F alum here. While I appreciate the well-deserved attention the 18F team is getting, let's address a fundamental misunderstanding of why 18F was so effective in working with other govt agencies to improve their digital services and why starting a consulting company is not a substitute. 1/
If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help
