The dreaded R word didn’t take long to make a resurgence. Less than two months into Trump 2.0, the economy is careening, consumers are wary, and companies are hesitant to make plans. I take us on a wild ride over this new economic landscape in today’s write up: open.substack.com/pub/statusku...

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

No. Trump backed down because the markets were crashing. Mexico had already put 10,000 troops at the border in a deal four years ago with Biden, who didn’t have to threaten tariffs to get it.

As a result of the Meta blackout, I have been spending more time here this week.
I want to spend my time here spreading hope and encouragement in these dark times.
This is my old church, honoring the Rev. Dr. King by sharing hats and scarfs free for the taking in St. Louis.

I'm participating in a Meta blackout this week. I became more active on Facebook post 2016. Post 2024, it's time to re-evaluate my usage.
I was never much of a Twitter user, much less X. I opened a Bluesky account when many X users were rethinking that relationship.

Tip from @snowjob.bsky.social

If you have a whitehouse.gov link you want to access and it is down, try replacing "www.whitehouse.gov" with "bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov"

The national archives is still doing its job for now.

With so much abject capitulation to Trump by rich, scared men, it’s affirming and a high honor to highlight when women have stood up firmly against him this week. My write-up on three such women: https://buff.ly/4avog60
