I’m disappointed the CNCF keeps picking deep red states for #KubeCon. It’s unsafe for so many community members. Why not Canada or Mexico?

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

I just called the offices of both @murray.senate.gov and @cantwell.senate.gov to express my disappointment in Dem leadership and to encourage them to call for @schumer.senate.gov to step down from leadership.
It is clear that Schumer is either disingenuous or incompetent. Either way he needs to go.

Schumer must retire.
One of two things is true:
1. Chuck Schumer genuinely felt this is a bad deal, so he voted against it, but he couldn't keep Senate Dems in line because he's a lackluster leader.
OR
2. Chuck Schumer orchestrated the shutdown deal w/ retiring Dems because he's a bad strategist and got rattled.

A couple of weeks ago @kenmartin.bsky.social sent me an email asking me to “Invest in the DNC” with a slick powerpoint deck attached. This was my (as of yet unanswered) response.
I’ll invest in the Dems when they give me something to invest in.

Apparently the framers didn’t mean that whole no emoluments things.
Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

A while ago I visited Argentina. Took a tour with a local and went to Plaza de Mayo. Learned about the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo. It is a sobering stories about people being disappeared and loved ones demanding justice over time during a dictatorship. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mothers...

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Wow. This is how you do it. Hopefully other leaders follow Mamdani’s lead.
I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:
