I’m a university press book editor and the mother of two delightful men. A dedicated bibliophile and cinephile, I’m also addicted to word games, board games, cats, and my next meal. On my best days I’m still capable of believing in the goodness of people.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Use This Simple Form To Tell Congress What You Think Make your voice heard. Now.

WOW!

Y’all have sent literally THOUSANDS of emails since we released this form a few hours ago.

Keep it up!

Let your congressional delegation know how you feel about their actions, whether you’re thankful or scornful.

They need to hear it either way.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.

This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

America Chose the Monster We all make mistakes.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

We're not done yet | 18F

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

I almost bought a book on Amazon today, but then I went to eBay and got it slightly used for half the price. Boycotting Amazon is fun AND easy.

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case.

Going forward, I'm calling all bodies of water Gulf of Mexico.

Long Island Sound? Gulf of Mexico.

Lake Placid? Gulf of Mexico.

Chattahoochee River? Gulf of Mexico.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak.

Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

From midnight tonight until next Saturday morning, there's no TV, no Internet, no Social Media, no nothing for me.
