What an extraordinary thing.
Not just for Senator Booker but for New Jersey and the millions of Americans he spoke for today. This is an extraordinary moment that demands us to act and build a better future for our country.

Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes.
The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.

In Signalgate, Trumpworld is demonstrating exactly what's wrong with authoritarian populism: Refusal to admit error, walling out of constructive criticism, the cult-like defense of the leader at all costs.

Always interesting to arrive at a hotel and see what Home Me thought I would be doing. Did I pack for an 18th C ball? Perhaps for finally doing the yoga I’ve been saying I will do for two years?

BREAKING: "At 1:15 PM tomorrow, President Trump will pick a country's name out of a MAGA hat and impose crippling tariffs on that country's goods for four minutes. This will happen daily until America is great again."

The state of the union?
60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Half of Americans struggle to afford rent.
Homelessness has risen by record numbers two years in a row.
The #1 cause of bankruptcy is medical debt.
Our taxes are funding a genocide.

In this culture of rampant consumerism, the library is a bastion of counter culture. There one can check out things for free. Great books filled with profound ideas are all available for free.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

My brain decided to be wide awake from 2-5am, during which time I indulged my inner theory nerd and read about the non-human turn. It was all very exciting and I had some brilliant insights for my dissertation that I scribbled on an envelope.
I only understand half of it today.

Did you know?
There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.”
Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

Among the more inhumane things Trump/Musk have done this week, DOGE cut off food, water, & fuel to the US embassy in South Sudan. They are living on what power the generator can provide. The country has no potable water & there's a cholera outbreak in the country.
These Americans are in real danger.

Meanwhile, they're banning drag shows, scrubbing pronouns from emails, criminalizing consensual adult content, and trying to erase trans people from public life, all in the name of "protecting women and children."
This is what fascists do and what they have always done.

The embrace and protection of Andrew Tate at the highest level of US government tells you everything you need to know about this rotten administration. They worship at the altar of abusing women and girls. Their version of morality supports sex trafficking under the guise of camming

The level of depravity is off the charts. And millions of people support this. We are a broken country.
Between this and golden tickets for oligarchs, the admin sending a clear message that their immigration policy is not about keeping criminals out of the US, it’s about giving priority to their type of criminal (white, right wing). And once again as w their hiring, being a sexual predator’s a plus.
