It's genuinely hard to express to sort of normal not politically plugged in non-lawyers *how* lawless the Trump administration is, and I think that's some part of the problem.
You sound like you're hyperventilating, but it's just a flat description of what is going on.

Dear universities and law firms,
You can't "buy Trump off." If you do what he asks, he'll think he owns you and he'll demand more and more. You'll never be done with him. Appeasement is surrender. Resist.
Sincerely,
Mark

Yes, because what's holding the US back from greatness is our lack of "wood independence". 🙄
Logging these >100 year old trees will be disastrous for climate.

Trump administration orders half of national forests open for logging
An emergency order removes protections covering over half the land managed by the U.S. Forest Service as the president aims to boost timber production.

Yes a shutdown would have consequences.
And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible.
They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way.
Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.
"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

This is Lilith & Luna. Sisters and besties. They are our newest fur babies (they’ve been with us about a year now).
