The courts had to step in and tell Donald Trump to feed the people. Let that sink in.

He was perfectly fine letting millions of Americans go hungry—in the middle of a shutdown that Republicans created.

Do what the judge said, Donald. Release the funds and stop playing with folks’ livelihoods.
Federal judge orders Trump administration to pay SNAP benefits out of contingency fund
The ruling came one day before funding for SNAP, more commonly known as food stamps, was set to lapse.

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.

Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

For my fellow fed workers as a shutdown looms.

Please make a plan to pour into yourself no matter what happens.

This space has never been about being more productive.

It has always been about centering and honoring our humanity in the ways that we work.

The way we've been conditioned to think about remote work is not normal. Let's change that.
This is Not Normal
With remote work, how we work is just as important as where we are working. Rather than replicating the office at home, let's redefine what remote work could be. Let's seek to leverage the unique properties of remote work to honor a more humane approach to work.

Confirming this for NIH. It is very, very bad inside the agency— and all of US medical research and universities are at risk.
Common theme of people I've interviewed recently. At universities, in research centers, in diplomacy, in the legal system, dealing with refugees or immigrants:

The reality inside is much worse than you would think from the outside.

This is why I love creating systems and thinking through how to make those “little tasks” go away entirely. It really does clear the way for more imagination and creativity.
