NEW: The board president of a small WV nonprofit says they haven't received their HHS funding since the Trump/Musk budget freeze. They had to lay off 3 of 5 employees on Friday. An 86-yr-old woman is counting on them to take her dialysis tomorrow. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
9. I understand from our Office Manager, however, that as of Sunday, February 2, no funds have been deposited to our bank account. We have checked our accounts multiple times a day since January 29, but no funds have been transmitted. We have received no information or explanation from the Administration for Community Living about the interruption in funds. 10. In short: we have received no federal funds since the OMB Freeze Memo was issued. Our Center had enough money to meet payroll on Friday, January 31, and to cover outstanding bills. But we did not have enough money on hand to cover another two-week pay period at full staffing. 11. Thus, on Friday, January 31, the Board of Directors voted to lay off three of our five employees and drastically reduce services to our customers. This presented a dire situation for our customers, who have immediate needs. 12. For example, on Monday, February 3, we are scheduled to take an 86-year-old woman to dialysis treatments (which we do for her every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). Our agency is her only way to get to these life-sustaining appointments.

As a free thinker alpha male one of my highest values is unquestioning obedience to authority. Boss knows best, that's why he's the boss

Today I am thinking a lot about this poem written by a fifth grader in Hawaii, especially the last line.

In building a 68-mile tunnel under Las Vegas, Elon Musk’s Boring Company has skirted building, environmental and labor regulations, according to records obtained by ProPublica and City Cast Las Vegas.
Elon Musk’s Boring Company Is Tunneling Beneath Las Vegas With Little Oversight
Given Musk’s role advising President-elect Donald Trump on ways to slash regulations and government oversight, Boring and the Vegas Loop project might be a harbinger for the country.

I was going through old journals, looking for some comfort from my younger self, who used to write silly notes to his future self. And I found this.

To the Insurance Executive Who Denied My Heart Procedure You may not think it is worth it, but at night, in the dark before morning, my son lays his ear on my garbled heart and tells me it is beautiful music. He doesn't fathom what you did to me, that you've traded our days of playing for a few small pieces of silver. All he thinks is my father's heart is music. I hear. I hear. I knew. Ruler, the children will outlive you. I wish you a long, long life of silences while dreamers hear the living world is singing. The one you have denied a life is you. —Joseph Fasano

A realistic list of things we can do / be to fight fascism. Positive and worth the read. These ideas cohere into a focused and easy-to-follow plan for cultivating empathy, community, art & music, local activism, engaging young people, self-care… none of it overwhelming.

Tips to keep democracy alive in 2025:

1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it.

While we’re banning books…

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

Once upon a time, when women were birds, there was the simple understanding that to sing at dawn and to sing at dusk was to heal the world through joy.

The birds still remember what we have forgotten, that the world is meant to be celebrated.

Screenshot from my video series Plastiscene. I made a cardboard replica of the oil refinery near me in Richmond, California. Spliced over two different videos of a waterfall and a flower patch I took while exploring. #art #artsky @bsky.art
