Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

The more they lie, obfuscate and deny the glaringly obvious facts, the more I suspect they’re trying to protect the signal chats we haven’t seen yet.

So DEI is just about immigrants and people of color getting an ‘unfair’ advantage? Fine. But now your employer can underpay you, your insurance can drop you when you need them, and your kid’s school can just push them aside. But hey, no more talk about ‘equity,’ so it’s all good. 🤦🏻♀️

One impact of the NSF freeze: They fund the small nonprofit, EarthScope, that manages seismic and GPS stations used worldwide to detect and warn of earthquakes and navigate autonomous vehicles.
EarthScope can maybe make payroll this week. A prolonged freeze could see stations fail.

It’s a bracing essay about Elon Musk by someone very close to him.
(This is very much _not_ about me, of course, but I’ll say that if you ever doubted my writing on Musk, this will help.)
