A reminder to junior devs that the questions you are hesitating to ask are a gift and you should go ahead and ask them.

The fresh perspective and curiosity gives those of us who have been doing this a while a chance to reexamine assumptions and articulate things we think we know pretty well.

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots.

Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth.

Tom Lehrer, Musical Satirist With a Dark Streak, Dies at 97 A mathematician by training, he acquired a devoted following with songs that set sardonic lyrics to music that was often maddeningly cheerful.

Tom Lehrer, the Harvard-trained mathematician whose wickedly iconoclastic songs made him a favorite satirist in the 1950s and ’60s on college campuses and in all the Greenwich Villages of the country, died on Saturday at 97.

This is literally exhibit A for why queer joy is so profoundly subversive. Anger is important too. But joy -- "smiling and talking and crying and laughing" -- that's what the fascists want to stamp out. That's the real challenge to their reign.

Large, fully open, white peony bloom with dark green leaves in the background. One petal has a thin line of dark pink right at the edge of the petal. Other petals, upon closer inspection, have little dots of pink on their edges too.

Our second round of peonies are blooming right now. This one, with little "threads"of pink on the edge of white petals caught my eye this morning. #flowers

A day for the Democratic appointees on SCOTUS — but what does it mean? Justices Jackson, Sotomayor, and Kagan each wrote a majority decision on Thursday. The decisions provide some insights into their approach in this moment.

What did SCOTUS do today?

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
AMERICAN FEDERATION OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, AFL-CIO, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
V.
DONALD J. TRUMP, et al.,
Defendants.
Case No. 25-cv-03698-SI
ORDER GRANTING TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND COMPELLING CERTAIN
DISCOVERY PRODUCTION
Re: Dkt. No. 37
The new presidential administration has made clear that it intends to change the way the federal government operates.
An Executive Order issued on February 11, 2025 seeks to
"commence[] a critical transformation of the Federal bureaucracy" by "eliminating waste, bloat, and insularityLl Exec. Order No. 14210, 90 Fed. Reg. 9,669 (Feb. 11, 2025). It is the prerogative of presidents to pursue new policy priorities and to imprint their stamp on the federal government. But
to make large-scale overhauls of federal agencies, any president must enlist the help of his co-equal branch and partner, the Congress. Federal courts should not micromanage the vast federal workforce, but courts must sometimes act to preserve the proper checks and balances between the
three branches of government. As a group of conservative former government officials and advisors have written to the Court, "Unchecked presidential power is not what the Framers had in mind." Dkt. No. 69-1 at 1.

CONCLUSION
The Court concludes where it began. The President has the authority to seek changes to executive branch agencies, but he must do so in lawful ways and, in the case of large-scale reorganizations, with the cooperation of the legislative branch. Many presidents have sought this cooperation before; many iterations of Congress have provided it. Nothing prevents the President from requesting this cooperation- as he did in his prior term of office. Indeed, the Court holds the President likely must request Congressional cooperation to order the changes he seeks, and thus issues a temporary restraining order to pause large-scale reductions in force in the meantime.
A temporary restraining order is, by definition, temporary. The Court will not consider defendants' request for a stay of execution of the temporary restraining order, as doing so would render the exercise pointless. The Court must promptly proceed to consideration of a preliminary injunction.
Plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction shall be filed no later than Wednesday, May 14, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. (PDT) and shall not exceed 25 pages; defendants' opposition is due by Monday, May 19, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. (PDT) and shall not exceed 25 pages. The Court shall hold a preliminary injunction hearing in person on Thursday, May 22, 2025 at 10:30 a.m.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
