Part of thriving under collapse has to be to mourn the life that you thought you'd be able to live.

That will take a while. Most of us are not there yet.

That's such a beautiful story and what an opportunity! I, too, read that book and cried at the end. It definitely strengthened my resolve to support the fiber industry and appreciate all the makers within.

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

This is not a drill.

This is a coup.

This has to be stopped but who will do that?

maybe there was actually a pretty good reason for the 14th amendment to have banned insurrectionists who tried to overthrow the government from serving in government and the decision to just decide it was a dead letter and ignore it was a horrible mistake?

A very important reminder. ICE can't go inside a house without the permission of someone there. Administrative warrants are not judicial warrants.
