Here is a call script to urge your Congress members to act against President Trump’s actions potentially violating the Impoundment Control Act:
Hello, [Representative/Senator’s Name],
Hello, [Representative/Senator’s Name],
![My name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City, IL]. I’m calling to express my deep concern about President Trump’s recent executive orders directing federal agencies to withhold congressionally appropriated funds. These actions appear to violate the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 and undermine the Constitution’s separation of powers.
I urge you to take all necessary steps to investigate these actions, ensure transparency, and demand the release of improperly withheld funds. Please stand up for Congress’s power of the purse and protect our democracy.
Thank you for your time.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gph7oe57wbgb4cymr2iv276y/bafkreifnqbbaj6tas5dsxljkkgqibajunq57hb3g3g3vttmyrx3n2h4i2y@jpeg)

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?
it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC.
i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list:

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.
President Trump’s order freezing trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans sent officials at schools, hospitals, nonprofit organizations and many others into a frantic scramble to understand the extent of the directive. Here's what to know.
Order to pause federal spending creates deep uncertainty for schools, nonprofits and companies.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Remember when we were arguing about the term "foundation models"? It feels like ages ago! With those base models culminating in DeepSeek v3 in Dec 2024, 2025 will likely be the year of LLM specialization!
Anyway, I will be writing about it more soon :).
