The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

“In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it.”

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Whether you are out or not, just questioning, or somewhere in-between, you are valid and matter. Gender is a wonderful diverse spectrum and being ourselves makes the world a better brighter place. Support trans people on #TDOV and always. 🏳️‍⚧️

🧵It was never going to be easy or painless to overturn decades of free-trade policies that have failed working people, but we have to think in years, not days.

Fun fact about Trump tariffs you won’t see in 99% of the reporting:

Trump tariffs are illegal.

Congress controls tariffs just like tax rates.

President can change a tariff only for national security emergency, meaning war.

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

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

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.
