A moment of silence please for #USAID, which is officially shuttered after months of dismantling.
Why a moment of silence? Not only for the employees. But also for the estimated 14 MILLION deaths by 2030 predicted without the agency.

For those indignant about Biden's health issues (or Trump's health issues) affecting them while in office, the answer is to create a policy of required competency assessments for presidents. And to educate people about the types of health issues that can affect competency. Beginning of story.

No matter how things shake out, story of these months is the complete and utter capitulation of American institutions—law firms, universities, Democratic party, etc.—to authoritarianism at a speed and willingness that far outpaces what we've seen in other countries. Puts the whole country to shame.

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests.
So, best we share all the footage we can here!
This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu.

I've been reading about the likely future of AI and feel especially saddened that Trump is steering the ship of our world now. As conflicts escalate and suffering increases exponentially, we'll wish for sane and competent leaders. Hard. #aipolicy

Great essay not just on #takedowntesla but how it's working and how it exemplifies direct action (Waging Nonviolence is always worth checking out):
'Tesla Takedown' underscores the importance of moving from protest to resistance
The viral pickets at Tesla showrooms are a necessary first step toward the kind of disruptive tactics that can force change.
