Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #abolishice #iceout #palantir #paloalto

I needed a reason not to despair today and @naomikritzer.bsky.social gave me one. Give some money to Youthlink in her name, and help inspire her to keep doing what she does. Youthlink does great work, Naomi does great work, and the Twincy gets more informed and engaged voters. Good all around.

In Melissa Clark’s Shadow Man, future humans have evolved five distinct genders due to the effects of a drug for FTL travel sickness. But as societal instability rises on the planet Hara, only male and female genders are legal, and the "odd-bodied" population are forced to pass as one or the other.

HR 9495 will go to a vote this week, likely Tuesday or Wednesday. Again. It's called a "nonprofit killer," a "threat to free speech," and will give Trump unprecedented power. Tell your congresspeople to vote "no" on this bill. See how your reps voted the first time Find your rep's info here.
