So, I *am* a tech person and SF is bad news. The underlying code is a mess and terrible to build your own stuff on top of (likely by design, so you have to pay their people to do it).

On the plus side, maybe ICE will have the same experience you did and it will sabotage the whole fascism?

It’s midnight, which means Trump’s government just ran out of money.

Our entire government is shut down because Republicans in power refuse to lower health care costs.

This isn’t politics. It’s not left or right. It’s not conservative or liberal. Cutting funding to treat children with brain cancer is hate and greed.

We're only a few days into rehearsals for THE WANTING FOREST, but we can already tell that this is a special one.

We started the week with movement, exploring how our bodies could tell stories together. We ended with reading the full text and singing through it.

Not wrong. My teens' Doctor recommended that I get them the HPV vaccine ASAP (even though my younger one is just barely into the 5-ish year window for it) bc she's concerned it might not be available in another year. So weird to have a political conversation in the pediatrician's office.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is changing how federal agencies handle vaccine recommendations. Some parents are hurrying to get kids their shots, fearing future changes could limit access.

"In my mind, this is no longer a conversation about anything else. Children are starving and being murdered in Gaza by the Israeli military while they seek to feed themselves. It feels impossible to talk about anything else in this conflict when that degree of sociopathic violence is occurring."

I Think It's Bad to Shoot at Starving Kids

Perhaps controversially.

Wtf is wrong with people? I'm sorry you are getting this kind of abuse and that it's probably only going to get worse. I felt like #45 gave me a PhD in racist dog whistles and #47 is post-doc on phrases I thought died with my grandparents' generation.

Polls show Trump's big bill is unpopular as Republicans stare down their deadline for passage

GOP leaders hope to begin votes on the legislation this week in the Senate, where they can afford only three defections.
