I’ve Spent a Decade Reporting on NASAβ€”and I Know Why Trump’s War on DEI Can’t Possibly Work. Efforts to scrub DEI from NASA's websites get it all wrong.

"The administration cannot take what makes NASA out of NASA by deleting websites or removing the words β€œwomen” or β€œdiversity” or β€œpeople of color.” NASA is special because it takes all of us to do this work" Love this @shannonstirone.bsky.social slate.com/technology/2...

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.

The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds.

It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

NEW: President Donald Trump has promised to misuse the powers of the federal government to attack his political enemies. The only question is whether we'll oppose it or enable it, @marcelias.bsky.social writes.

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Maybe its a good time for a little Executive Order (EO) primer, a few wee tools for sorting wheat from chaff so it seems like less of a deluge. Item 1. EOs have to comply with the Constitution & laws, including acts of Congress. Any that don't will face long court battles before anything changes. /1

I couldn’t sleep, so I watched his speech again. And then I made this because, honestly, I’m going to need the reminder. Maybe you will, too.
