I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Probably late to this train too, but Ripe by Sarah Rose Etter is the perfect portrayal of the tech bro-obsessed apocalypse we are living in, with a healthy dash of family trauma. Holy moly.

Shout out to Joe Courtney’s office for taking my name and address, although he does not appear to be on BlueSky.

Calling members of Congress to complain about the current fuckery in the White House does not have its intended effect when @chrismurphyct.bsky.social ‘s voice mailboxes are full (in both DC and Hartford) and @richardblumenthal.bsky.social ‘s staff wouldn’t even take my name.

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

Dear BlueSkyers, I need to get involved. I can’t just sit here and wring my hands on social media. How can I help support the folks who are going to be most affected by this administration? I speak Spanish and Portuguese.

Steeling myself for a brutally cold week, both weather wise and politics wise. At least the snow is pretty.

Unbelievably petty! The Spanish language version of the White House website was deleted after the inauguration yesterday.

Look what happens when you hit the “go home” button!
