Design, tech, democracy and regenerative/resilient ecosystems. Will priotize democracy and resilient ecosystems when those 4 collide.
Funny but true.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

To the rule of law. To democracy. To tolerance. To equal opportunity. To upholding the truth.
We cannot have a functioning society without these shared commitments.
I’m thankful for Newsom. IT IS INSANE THAT WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO BEHAVES LIKE THIS. And he’s holding a mirror to it.
We need more people doing the same instead of critiquing political ambition. Anyone who has run for Governor or Senator has it. It’s what they do with it that counts.
Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

Fox News is hiding the GOP's brutal Medicaid cuts. Line graph charting the number of mentions of key terms on Fox News' original programming this year.
The contents of the GOP tax bill are horrifically unpopular among those who are aware of them — but many aren't. Our data shows that Fox News is largely trying to avoid discussing them altogether.

Trump and his Republican allies are seeking to slash Medicaid as part of his Big Beautiful Bill.
On Fox News, network mentions of “Biden” have outpaced “Medicaid” 10-to-1 over the first five months of the Trump administration.
