If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

This one describes the counter-Chinese focus of the Congo mission -- in part to push back on Chinese access to Cobalt.
As several others did, it describes the gut punch of Trump and Elon calling them criminals.

Dear Joe,
I know it feels really wrong to order your AG to release a Special Counsel report because that’s been a bad thing to do for so long. But the Supreme Court says it’s okay now. It’s legal. It’s an official act.
So go ahead, Mr. President. It’s normal now.

To honor one of the most compassionate Americans we've ever known, consider an act of kindness today, for a loved one or even a stranger, however small.
Be the reason someone feels seen today. Sometimes all it takes is a kind word or a sincere gesture.
It will make Jimmy smile.

I watched the most excellent movie, A Complete Unknown, yesterday. 5⭐️s. Got me thinking we could use a strong musical protest "movement" about now; Dylans and Marleys and Guthries and Seegers. Who's up to the challenge?

To President Biden and all elected Democrats: Stop playing by rules that no longer exist. At this point, it's not just spinelessness, it's complicity.

It was a 49% to 48% election.
Fascism won by a hair.
And it took Russian and MAGA bomb threats, a hoax regarding battleground-state police raids, an illegal Musk-funded lottery, $600M given to Trump by just 15 people, Netanyahu meddling in our politics, and Democrats staying home for it to happen.

Saw Rebecca Solnits' post on FB about blocking unwanted lists. What a great idea. So now I'm wondering how to find people's lists I might want to follow. Can anyone help?
