I worry about the future of democracy when leaders like Emmanuel Macron act like kings -- and possibly stoke resentment towards government. Macron has lost touch with what it means to work, to travel with children, or to spend 26 euros.

Live in Philly? Get out and vote for Brian Kisielewski for judge for Common Pleas. I taught Brian as a college student and wouldn’t stand outside all day for many others!

The fabulous spice house, Penzey’s of Wisconsin has a set of new spices (“add spice LIBERALLY”). This one is terrific and makes a wonderful gift. #queersky #democracy #queercreators Also, once you try their double strength vanilla extract there will be no turning back.

Do you live in a state where your representative or senator is a doctor (see list below)? Considering calling! Ask them to protect collecting accurate info about diseases, testing vaccines, and/or promoting public health. Maybe their medical training will trigger some commonsense?

💯 Hobbes says we want protection from external threats and other individuals. He left out the government itself (thank you Locke). But @katejackson.bsky.social is right -- this is such an epic fail of the basic promise of the social contract.

Everyone in the room violated the rules. They all had to be in a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility). They all had to abide by rules to preserve documents (and Signal automatically destroyed communications).

Hmmm. Hegseth says people will be judged on standards and merit. EVERYONE on that chat (regardless of race or gender) broke the rules and need to be fired. This is a SCIF and it is where ALL the #SignalGate people were REQUIRED to be to prevent espionage or leaks. That is the “standard.”

This is a SCIF. Sensitive Compartmented information Facility. They were created for secure conversations. I know how to use one by listening to the #sistersinlaw podcast. All of these people were supposed to be in a SCIF if they were planning a military operation/exchanging data.
