Ranked choice voting is a better approach. It's more democratic and only has to happen once.

Target was an experience. We had a social contract. They blew it. We moved on.

The SAVE plan injunction already put many in student loan limbo. Not counting the months since the injunction towards PSLF was cruel. Adding interest to the loans as a way to scare people out of SAVE is diabolical. I didn't ask for any of this. I just want the PSLF I earned after a decade of service

He reframed the statement to combine the aspects of discrimination as if that would make it less illegal. You can't make this stuff up.

It shouldn't be. People need to ask why they are codependent on a retailer. Nothing should infiltrate your life in this way. AWS is also a problem for entrepreneurs. I've always believed in a diversified approach as a consumer. I kicked Amazon out of my life 6 months ago. Best decision ever.

That's wild. They will get a first class education soon. Lessons could last 3 days or 3 generations.

Seats will be flipping in 2026. Anyone who refused to advocate for their constituents should expect to be replaced. No seat is safe on either side of the aisle.

I was taught by my grandmother as a teen, never quit your job until you KNOW you have another one. Bless his heart.

Also, integrity is a core value for a reason. Bending the knee just makes it easier for them to cut you down.

Concerns have been on the roof for close to a decade. I'm almost certain, Rachel Maddow has a PowerPoint saved somewhere documenting this.

Why I’m Resigning from the NSF and Library of Congress I cannot participate in systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging.

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging."

Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council.

I wrote about my decision in TIME.

It's a trickle up recession. American families are responding to high inflation, tariffs, & the layoff of fed & higher ed employees. Keep reducing the spending power of the average American by hoarding and squandering resources. Hangry citizens with time on their hands is how revolutions start.
