35+ Dems plan to hold the Senate floor all night to oppose the confirmation of Musk-Trump funding freeze architect Russ Vought. THIS is how we fight back while in the minority.

If you're protesting tomorrow:
"I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present."
MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

Update: I am keeping a very rough list of daily events for my Substack series, Fridays in Trumpland.
If today feels intense, well, that's because it is. And it's not over yet.

I had such a weird moment of dissonance last week. Zoom call where we found ourselves litigating periods vs. underscores in SaaS versioning convention while in another tab watching a coup unfold in the US government. I love building products, but man, sometimes this pretense is unbearable.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
