Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

The great "arribada" (arrival) of mother Olive Ridley sea turtles on the Odisha coast, where they dig sand-nests & lay their eggs, driven by ancient instinct.
Heart-lifting, magnificent, moving: part of a geography of hope.

Drawing on his memories of Mussolini's Italy and the Nazis, the Italian humanist, Umberto Eco, created a 14-point guide to spotting fascism when you see it in his 1995 essay 'Ur-Fascism'. It remains extremely relevant today.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

This system, managed by non-political staff, disburses trillions of dollars annually, including Social Security and Medicare benefits, tax credits for individuals and businesses, and grants and payments to government contractors—some of which compete directly with Musk-owned companies.
