That's scary. I worked in Software Development for 20 years and never once saw that strategy work. In fact, it usually made things ultimately take longer because of all the assumptions made up front that turned out to be wrong.

I normally strong dislike spiders, but this feels oddly calming in today's world.

Man, if that doesn't speak to the times right now.

It's really sad that we have to do this (though I agree it's necessary). It speaks to the lack of strong, clear leadership in the Democratic party right now. Is there any way to "skip the ad" and jump to the video of you, Bernie, and Jasmine mounting a proper response to all this?

Being a good human being is literally an integral part of a functional and thriving society. You'd think it wouldn't be as hard as it apparently is.

2/3 of the country didn't vote for this... and that number is even higher now after part of the 1/3 that did have realized their mistake and gone on record saying they messed up. The numbers are on our side. It seems like we should be able to do something with that advantage.

It's a sad time we live in. I saw a post on FB this morning from a mom asking for a recommendations on "Pediatricians that won't push vaccines." My mother had measles as a kid (a little before the vaccine came out), and it was the sickest she's ever been.

This has been the Trump administration's mode of operating for days now. "Oops, we messed up and need you back. Turns out you're important. Our bad."

We outnumber them. 2/3 to 1/3. The math is in our favor.

Great. So what do we DO about it??? What's the next step beyond expressing outrage in articles, blog posts, and on social media?

The DOGE website promised "receipts by Valentine's Day," and now it's "Receipts coming over the weekend." Seems they're moving so fast they can't even keep up with themselves.

And even that (which isn't a far-fetched theory) is kind of glossing over the fact that AI isn't ready for this yet.

The illusion of choice. It was always "6 of one, half dozen of the other."

Be sure to include a "blink" tag and a spinning "new" icon somewhere. That's the icing on the cake.

"Vote with your wallet" is the only action capitalists understand at the end of the day. Boycott conservative-owned businesses and businesses who are rolling over and readily complying with this fascist administration's agenda.
