A leaked memo reveals that DOGE's next target is the VA, with plans to fire more than 80,000 agency workers who provide critical services to veterans and their families.

More than 25% of agency staff are veterans themselves. 

How is this "efficiency"?

This model by Leah Penniman, illustrated by Christine Tyler Hill, shows how comprehensive social change requires many strategies.

We need all of us.

The attempted mugging of a visiting president was about the world war that Musk, Trump, and Vance have chosen. If we attend to what Vance and Trump said yesterday, we can work our way to the unreason of American policy, and to the chaos that will follow.
