Can I recommend to you some weekend reading?

Hannah Arendt’s ‘The Origins of Totalitarianism’ is really important to read for understanding what’s happening right now.

I don’t like finding a PDF of something not off copyright but here it is:

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

A cousin I was very close to died of leukemia in the 1980s. It was too late for her, but medical research eventually led to good treatments & cures for childhood leukemia. Yet her MAGA parents, who are still alive, & siblings cheer the Felon’s elimination of funds for medical research. Insane. Sick.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

I seem to have fallen into Corgi bsky. I have no idea how. I like dogs generally, but am not really in that universe. They are cute for sure, but it’s a mystery.

Don’t delete your Twitter and Facebook accounts. There’s going to come a time when we will need all the forums we can get. Just go dormant. Remove your profile pic and info. But keep the accounts in place.

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding, yet 66% of people did so when driving. And if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com
