This was the point in the @propublica.org story on pricey cancer drug Revlimid where i got angry.

The price has gone up 26 TIMES since 2006.

Yet, @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social found a deposition where a top exec admits the drug has ALWAYS cost just $.25 to make.

ICE has been given quotas.

That’s why they’re throwing away due process, deporting two-year-olds and kidnapping people off the street.
NEW: In a SCATHING decision, Judge Briones of the Western District of Texas absolutely SAVAGED the government over this case, tearing to shreds ICE’s hearsay “evidence” that this husband and wife were in Tren de Aragua as “completely and wholly unsubstantiated” — and ordered their immediate release!

Credit to @npr.org for this detailed look at how Elon Musk & the backpack boys have stolen all of our private information. ALL OF IT. Add this to the Signal security breach and the incompetence takes your breath away.

We're gonna move fast and break things. Sometimes we'll make mistakes. If we remove the wrong organ we'll put it back in. We are disrupting surgery

We all grew up reading The Lorax, hearing "I speak for the trees" like a warning wrapped in rhyme. And yet, here we are—watching forests fall, silence creeping in where once stood Truffula groves. Did we forget? Or did we just stop listening? 🌳 #SpeakForTheTrees.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help
