I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

The resistance has already begun, in the courage of the Bishop in DC, in every act of kindness and charity, in all us old lefties rising up to support the poor and marginalized and gravely threatened ( and the ACLU), in our donations, and soon, in our song.

@joyannreid.bsky.social said 89 million of us (that's 36% of the voting pop.) didn't vote. Whether due to apathy, voter suppression, or "don't vote" propaganda on social media, this is gutting me. Our right to vote is one so many died for, yet folks not exercising it may have cost us our democracy.

Maybe next time, she'll think before she cheats

Quick question, why did Carmen Sandiego accompany Trump to the inauguration?

Could the arc of the moral universe be a little shorter please

I've programmed my computer to auto-replace "Trump" with "convicted felon Donald Trump" when I type because I don't have the guts to call him "the rapist Donald Trump."

I am committing myself to finding more peace oriented ways of paying attention that help to keep my soul softer and nervous system safer.

I’m not spending my one wild and precious life the next 4 years being rage baited.

Which doesn’t mean I won’t be aware.

It means I will be working on finding more productive ways of engaging with resistance.
