Is a cat a solid, a fluid, or maybe a non-Newtonian fluid?

SNAP, the country's largest anti-hunger program, dates back to the Great Depression and has never been disrupted this way. Most recipients are seniors, families with kids, and those with disabilities.

My latest piece, written for the Kettering Foundation.

I urge organizations, nonprofits, and companies to end the cycle of over compliance with Trump threats, and show how doing so ushers in fascism.

Some lessons from what we have seen in the trans community.

Not gonna lie, it's really good to see Obama saying not to capitulate and to lose your federal funds instead of doing fascism willingly.

Too many organizations have been throwing LGBTQ+ people under the bus to save their funding from Trump.

They still lose their funding, I might add.
Obama calls on citizens, colleges and law firms to resist Trump agenda
In a campus speech, the former president said universities should be prepared to lose federal funds to defend academic freedom, rather than be “intimidated.”

Remi cuddles are the best. She is making sure I am taking it slow, and she is keeping me warm.

Very cool bday gift I received. Vincent van Gogh, self portrait (1889). It is an abstract art, like a mosaic with wooden blocks. It looks different from each angle and also on different times in the day due to the sunlight and shadows.
