I enjoyed a rare privilege today: seeing one of my new journal articles in print.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

Reposting this. If you're interested in the early modern Low Countries, these are the people to follow.

Trump Slammed After Snapping 'Quiet, Piggy' At Female Reporter Who Asked Epstein Question

Once a misogynist, always a misogynist.

A quote by Jane Goodall reading, "Optimism says everything will be fine and pessimism says nothing will work out. Hope on the other hand has no uncertainties. It is the dogged determination to do what is in our power to make the better future we wish for to actually happen." Quote is superimposed on a photo of her wearing a green patagonia jacket and comes from 1 million women.

Giving Jane the final word here. She got it!

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor.

A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

They just gutted Teen Vogue which had top notch political journalism. The media is continuing to purge any sort of political dissent to Trump and the oligarchs.
