It’s so strange how social media made us think that 10 likes is nothing.

Imagine 10 people IRL saying to your face, "I admire your work", one after another.

How does it feel now?

This will be great for those grocery prices, folks.
Arrogant ignorant Trump released water in California that emptied nowhere near LA area.
That water was in reservoirs and needed for the crops upstate during the dry season. Farmers upset.

The lesson? Fight it NOW. Be active, not passive.
"In hindsight, the first year may have been the entire ballgame — even if no one quite knew it at the time..."

Really good explainer by Zack Beauchamp here. Worth reading:

Their democracy died. They have lessons for America about Trump’s power grab.
Hungarians who lived through Viktor Orbán’s 2010 power grab warn Americans: Act now, before it’s too late.

Hold off on USAID obituaries and suggesting staff have gone.

Most actions so far are under legal challenge, only Congress can get rid of USAID (and its funding), the staff are on administrative leave.

What has happened is terrible, but it is time to push back, not give in.

@retired-librarian.bsky.social here is your glimmer of hope…
on every issue on which Trump has been taken to court he's lost, gotten enjoined at least temporarily. He is NOT winning. Democracy is. cc: @normeisen.bsky.social

@nicollewallace.bsky.social had a GREAT interview with conservative republican #AndrewNatsios on USAID today. If immigration issues are your jam, FUND #USAID! Proactive, not reactive

I'm struck by the near-total failure of leadership across civil society, in a country that fetishizes the concept. Whole sections of leadership books at every bookstore. Named, endowed "leadership" institutes and curricula across higher ed. Awards and special recognition for "leaders." AND YET

“I was just being myself” is not an excuse for disrespectful behavior. It signals a lack of concern for others.

Authenticity without empathy is selfish. Authenticity without boundaries is careless.

It’s good to be true to your values. It’s important to show regard for others’ values too.
