Charminar during the first nights of Ramadan

I'm not talking about the outcome, but I wish the US had more parties that participated in government.

I love warmish February days...

Why it matters that Trump is deleting government data The potential side effects of President Donald Trump's deletion of government data.

Change is possible without such extreme xenophobia and without ignoring the Constitution

I was asked by a Republican friend if I was willing to say I am wrong if, after 2 years, things are better. That is such a crazy question because the offenses are so extreme right now, that "better" will never make up for this.

It is very difficult to survive these times, from an emotional standpoint. I do not understand the people I know who voted for this. Do they feel so desperate when a Dem is in office? I never witnessed their agony on the scale that the rest of us feel. It is an awful time.

Examining the truth about fighting fires in California amid water management claims Last month’s wildfires in California destroyed thousands of homes, killed at least 29 people and will likely cost hundreds of billions of dollars. President Trump has claimed that state officials made...

The joy of 1 million + Eagles fans celebrating in the Philadelphia radiated through my core. Also, my older daughter was part of the crowd and this makes me happy. Source of this photo unknown.

Yes, I feel like I recall his transition during the 2nd term of Bush, when he skimmed the surface of moderate thought before planting himself there.

Our research university leaders are totally failing us in the authoritarian moment. Not even trying to loudly & publicly defend the project of academia or the institutions. Just choosing a combination of “keep our heads down” & anticipatory compliance. Shamefully inadequate to the moment.

Keeping up with my Last Days of Rome series. Also, it is snowing outside and I didn't bother to check the weather.

I remember David Brooks as a Conservative...

People really do believe this. It is hard to persuade them otherwise.

Enjoying the Last days of Rome with a visit to the George Peabody Library for music last night.

We as a country will save nothing. Federal employee salaries make up just 4% of the budget—roughly $271 billion. So even if every federal worker were fired, that’s the maximum you’d save. Meanwhile, the U.S. House GOP has released a budget that raises the debt limit by $4 trillion.

Now if only we can rise up and protest the way Philadelphia celebrates an Eagles win.

I tuned in to see Kendrick Lamar. I think he is a brilliant artist. From his Gil Scott-Heron opening quote to the guy on the light post, he is not disappointing.

Meet the Press reported that the President has a 53% approval rating right now. This is so confusing. Where are these people?

With the stunting of US-based science, it seems the maga slogan promotes being less than great.

This is hideous, but I am not surprised. I was in Lexington Market last week where there were frozen muskrat for sale. Maybe the vendor selling them was practicing for this competition!

I suspect that the data copied onto DOGE servers in the past 10 days has been accessible by Thiel.

A friend got her green card 2 days ago. Of course it surprised me! Obviously, it's been in the works for awhile, but I am really happy it went through, especially given the chaos being engineered by the president.

Ah! Anonymous has entered the resistance. Meanwhile, I will be doing what I can via analog means...

I looked up from rage scrolling through the news to see Janelle Monae moonwalking across the television screen. She is amazing.

The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk's Government Takeover Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

If you’ve been wondering what Elon Musk and his lackeys are up to since taking control of the US government, look no further. Our latest story names six 19- to 24-year-olds working with his DOGE organization, which now has access to sensitive federal systems. wrd.cm/4jzpiSN
