Trying to be a "citizen" in Heinlein's sense of treating the safety of the nation as a personal responsibility. Anybody can be that kind of citizen. Nobody needs permission. It's learning the issues, taking the risks, and doing the work.

Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

I'm proud to be a woman in black skin, and this day, like yesterday I will spend a moment wiping from it the hate and lies smeared upon it. My skin is me it has made me infamous worldwide. never unacknowledged, it's exhausting I wish others paid as much attention to themselves as they do to me.

A recent leak from an ICE detention facility near Houston shows hundreds of detainees packed into a shared room without beds or bathrooms. The footage highlights allegations that the facility's air conditioning is kept on maximum, intentionally subjecting occupants to freezing conditions.

The U.S. is now a...

Kleptocracy: rule by thieves, officials use political power to steal national wealth & resources for personal gain

Kakistocracy: rule by least qualified, most ignorant & unprincipled citizens

Plutocracy: rule by wealthy, using their riches to influence policy for own benefit

Joke’s on everyone who said liberal arts degrees don’t prepare you for the real world - my studies in rise of the Third Reich now doubles as a survival guide.

So yesterday I had a minor fall while hiking, and ended up bruising both my palms, knee and ankle. Falling in your 20s vs 30s is night and day. I'm hobbled now.

Anyways here's Nicolas Fischer climbing walls like nothing.

When prices rise because *demand* is hot, wages usually follow. When prices rise because tariffs raise costs -- a *supply* shock -- there’s no reason paychecks catch up. That’s why tariff inflation hurts a whole heckuva lot more. It's a permanent reduction in living standards.
