Sometimes I think the myth of creative genius exists to discourage people from the reality that it's actually very easy to uniquely engage with the world, or uniquely make art, if you just try a little bit to be curious about things

DID YOU KNOW? As of March, we canceled $50 BILLION in medical debt from Americans' credit reports. We made it illegal for medical debt to affect your credit score.
But Trump & greedy health insurance CEOs LOVE your medical debt & want to undo this.

And put a mask back on your face without being asked.
If you're non-disabled and are furious about recent ableist comments, one material thing you can do is ask disabled and chronically ill people in your life if they need help with anything. They may say no and respect that, but we live in an ableist society where asking for help is hard.

The nationwide measles outbreak now stands at more than 800 cases, but you probably don’t know that since RFK Jr is keeping a tight lid on that news.
The orange areas in the below map show where the vaccination rate is under the 95% coverage target among kindergarteners. That’s a LOT of orange!

Trump doesn’t want a Fed Chair. He wants ANOTHER lapdog. He appoints people—then demands TOTAL obedience. Loyalty to HIM, not the country. That’s not leadership. That’s a cult. Powell’s job isn’t to serve Trump’s ego. It’s to protect the economy. Period.

Polls show broad opposition to things like ignoring courts, deporting people to foreign prisons, and removing longtime residents. If Dems don't engage here, they're only helping Trump subsume all this under the rubric of "fighting illegal immigration."

Trump is a liar but a very transparent liar. His attack on CBS and 60 minutes is an attempt to silence them and the reason is not the bullshit he’s spilling, it’s to keep them from continuing to air their interview with Zelenskyy which damns the Trump regime.

You don’t have to be particularly sharp to decipher the code here.
But if you need someone to say it, this is a major technology company and a sizable defense and intelligence contractor publicly declaring, with only the thinnest patina of deniability, that its cause is white nationalism.

A moment of reckoning has

Our culture has fallen into shallow consumerism while abandoning national purpose. Too few in Silicon Valley have asked what ought to be built - and why.
We did.
We built Palantir to ensure America's future, not to tinker at the margins. On the factory floor, in the operating room, across the battlefield - we build to dominate.
