“False certainty is dangerous; it rules out all possibilities but one and in essence surrenders to that imagined future.”
What I am feeling today, btw, is what I wrote here.
To strike at scale and over the long-term, we need to build real trust so that we can lean on each other when the paychecks stop.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
A small but very deep thing that bothers me about generative AI as a shortcut to practice and work and skill is the basic assumption that it’s impossible to take pleasure in a creative pursuit that you aren’t very good at and I assure you that is not the case

Message to ICE: "Your time is running out. Save your soul and quit your job."
"In its new quest for hemispheric dominance, the Trump administration has reached back to the Monroe Doctrine in its most belligerent version—a warrant for the complete repudiation of international law, in a world with no allies or equals, only vassals & foes." @alfatau.bsky.social @inthesetimes.com
"But moral principles don’t exist only to guide immediate action. They structure how we understand legitimacy, accountability, and the limits of state power."

The sooner we accept this, the better
now - especially now - a reminder that we are going to win. and this is why
OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...
Alex Jeffrey Pretti was executed by a U.S. federal agent while trying to protect a woman.
