This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

More accurate, fewer words;
"There are plenty of contractors going under".
A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.
PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

There was one real president in the Oval Office yesterday. The other person present showed the world that he is nothing more than a playground bully, a wannabe mob boss, a tiny man with tiny hands.

Please read my latest reflection.
There are lies we tell to comfort ourselves.
Like Democrats who say we just have to wait two year and Trump will lose control of the House.
Like those in Germany who promoted Hitler while believing they could control him.

Right on, Charlie!
Canadians never bend in the face of tyranny.
This is our story as a nation, and I am so proud to be part of that story today.
Across Canada and the United States the resistance will come from ordinary people.
Keep kicking at the darkness until it bleeds daylight.

At the NATO meeting a loud US republican saw my CDN flag pin on my lapel and reached for it saying, "Hey Canada."
I stopped him.
"Don't touch the Canadian flag."
"Just joking," he said.
"You'll die before you touch our flag," I said, "not joking."
He scrambled out of there.

Dear Canada,
In lieu of becoming our 51st state, would you consider letting Minnesota become your newest province? We enjoy the great outdoors, love hockey, endure long, cold winters, and also have accents that Americans make fun of every time we speak. We’d also vote against Poilievre! 😂🇨🇦

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social I really appreciate everything you are doing to speak out against the Trump/Musk coup. I would love to see you lead an organized Democratic Opposition with daily press briefings telling Americans the truth and how Democrats are fighting every day to protect our democracy.
