Thinking about Prince Jones as we approach the 25th anniversary of his death. He was shot by a police officer who followed him through three jurisdictions all because his mother’s name was on the vehicle registration. Prince was truly a Prince. He should still be here. 9/1/2000. #PrinceJones

So much is keeping us up at night—but one of the most chilling? DOGE harvesting personal data under the guise of “efficiency.” This is not reform. It’s a play to build the infrastructure of surveillance capitalism and authoritarian tech governance.

Elon Musk's DOGE has access to 19 sensitive systems at HHS. In at least one instance, it appears that access was granted without the proper security training.

Time to reframe the thinking. Instead of “who will be our David to their Goliath,” think “how can *I* be A David to their Goliath?” We need a lot more Davids right now.

Nicknames and other more casual versions of formal names
Different versions of generational names (e.g., going by a middle name when father goes by the first name)
Names parents call children from birth, even though the legal name is different

NIH announces it is moving all grant review to the Center for Scientific Review. CSR already handled most, but this pulls around a quarter of study sections out of the individual institutes and centers.
One source told me they think they'll use this as part of the RIFs.

An excerpt:
“…when the day comes we step out of the shade aflame and unafraid, the new dawn blooms as we free it, for there is light if only were brave enough to see it, if only we’re brave enough to be it.”

Jesus’ central stated ministry is the lessening of the gaps between the powerful and the powerless, a radical inclusion of those so often left out, an audacious expanding of the table of compassion to the widest, most-diverse swath of humanity.
