I consider myself a pragmatic progressive. Also a Southern refugee in Colorado hoping to give my daughter more rights.
I work with startups & venture capital, but also a bit of a political animal

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

All corporate CEOs should understand: If you agree to attend an event at the White House, you are very likely to be filmed nodding appreciatively at a delusional racist rant. If you're ok with that, go. If not, you probably should stay away.

Working on a parable called The Emperors of Dunning-Kruger Mountain in which a bunch of people rise to positions of power but don’t know and won’t tell each other that they are all in way over their heads so instead they just invite more people up.

Another reason why it’s important not to obey illegal orders is because the people willing to give illegal orders will happily throw you under the bus for following them.

It’s wrong to lump all top Trump people in one category. There are differences among them. But they do seem to fall into three (sometimes overlapping) categories:
• Ordinary criminals (grift and corruption).
• Sex criminals.
• War criminals.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

Even if this were true (it’s not at all) depriving 40 million needy people to arrest a few hundred is objectively insane.
KUDLOW: Are you able to reform the SNAP and food stamp program? Are there a lot of able-bodied people who shouldn't be in there?
BROOKE ROLLINS: What DOGE and our amazing team at USDA have found is 186,000 dead people are receiving SNAP benefits. We've made hundreds of arrests.

Larry Summers is a grotesque buffoon who has repeatedly been granted power over others he didn’t deserve and that he abused. He’s also much closer to the internal norm and ideal of the intensely predatory, opportunistic, and vapid academic field of economics than his colleagues want to concede.
