It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

A quite startling overperformance for Democrats in tonight's special election for a state Senate seat in Kentucky:
Democrat Gary Clemons won 72% to 25%.
He was defending a Dem-held seat where Kamala Harris beat Trump by 5% last year.

People think tyrants rage because they're strong.
But the truth is they only rage when they know the room will absorb it.
Mamdani didn't absorb it.
So Trump didn't rage.
Fear is the oxygen of authoritarianism.
Take it away, and even a strongman starts to sound like a man.

There’s a lot of political commentary about Marjorie Taylor Greene resigning, but one important point is this: she entered Congress in 2021 with an estimated net worth of about $700,000, and is leaving in 2025 with a net worth of roughly $25 million.

The AWS outage is a wake up call. When one corporation controls our communications and our livelihoods, their downtime becomes our crisis. We need community-owned digital infrastructure that puts people over profits and protects everyone from being cut off. 🔌✨ #AWSOutage
