I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

A mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her eyes in shame was created by Dutch artist Judith de Leeuw. It is in a high population area of immigrants in France…!!!
She said ‘The values that the statue once stood for - freedom hope, the right to be yourself - have been lost for many’…!!!

I like this. Let's riff. What are the alternatives? If the $4.50 is an issue, you could buy a coffee maker and brew your own. Another option? Stop drinking coffee (which might actually be good for you and you would adjust) or cut back. Replace the coffee with warm water and hydrate more.

Seems to me this could be answered by 195 targeted emails (or fewer - who had tariffs levied on them and if they didn't why would they be part of the 75?) to a list that I imagine the UN has. Or, even the state department. Or, even some large multinational. Somebody going to get on this?

I just want a president who will keep his thumb (or heel) off the economy and let the economy take care of itself. We were doing (generally) fine 4 months ago.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen
It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world
It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

I'm not sure where it would be reported, or whether I would trust the reporting now, but I will be very curious to see whether tax payments on April 15th or thereabouts are materially lower than they've been in the past, all other things considered.

If the president doesnt file taxes, and the guy leasing DOGE especially doesnt file taxes, why should any other American?

so, see how bernie is passing the torch to the younger generation? see how he's creating space for AOC by using his name, then allowing her to lead? see how SOME older people act like caring elders, and others act like half-dead, out-of-touch narcissistic control freaks?
be more like bernie.

Fact: They didn’t fear what breaking the Dept of Education would do to their kids. Their kids are in fancy private schools.
They are dismantling the Dept of Ed so our kids have no choice but to be undereducated and work for their kids.

Today I did a cyber security panel taping for @onwithkaraswisher.bsky.social and @avindman.bsky.social and I discussed the attack we both get from Musk online (his are worse than mine). Both of us ignore it and this epic quote explains why.

I'm rewatching The Wire. A character in the episode I'm watching says, "A lie ain't a side of the story. It's just a lie." For some reason, that speaks to me these days (as do a million other lines from the show.)
