Elon’s “Department of Government Efficiency” just walked into NOAA and Commerce like they owned the place. No legal authority, no transparency—just gutting climate data access while daring anyone to stop them. If you like accurate weather forecasts and ocean protections, buckle up.

This is a true statement!
What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

My rest-of-2024 resolution? I’m done stopping people from doing stupid things. Get back with that jerk again, drink raw milk, curl your hair in the shower. If you think you know better than the warning label, go for it. Pop the champagne cork at your face. I’ll just watch the show. Cheers!

Vasectomy appointments are up 1200%. IUDs 760%. Birth control consults 350%. Plan B and prevention tool sales? Likely soaring. Healthcare workers have a rough 60 days ahead. Be kind. They’re carrying immense weight.

Advice from a Literature teacher and resister: read your history, but don’t forget your literature.

Resistance is woven through the words of abolitionism and feminism and anti-fascism. Read the history and the literature.

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.
