Anyone who claims that Silicon Valley would be better with more humanities education has to grapple with the fact that Peter Thiel was a philosophy major.

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand:

Archives banned making copies.

With this HHS RIF, everyone is aggressively “calling” what data sources or government functions are dead, and I’m a bit uncomfortable. Not every team is zeroed out. Many people still doing their jobs. Reporters still need to substantiate claims about e.g. unreliable data. Not sure this is helping

The case against Comey is beyond weak. The case against James is worse. It is based on a lie, and they know they're lying because exculpatory evidence that contradicts the indictment had already been presented to a grand jury in another jurisdiction.

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

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.

People really need to stop counting the damage done with this ridiculous idea (that was spawned from Twitter’s techbro men culture) in terms of $$$ and start approaching this in terms of the harm it has done globally (e.g. number of deaths due to USAID cuts).

Dollar metrics are meaningless.

So let's play this out: Dems hold the line on the actual big picture constitutional lawlessness issues, which Trump/GOP would never concede and any deal with them would be worthless anyway. What good are concessions in legislation and appropriations from a guy who breaks those with impunity? 1/
