Remember the DOGE assault on USAID? BBC host Rajini Vaidyanat asks Bill Gates if it's true that he accused Elon Musk of killing children with his USAID cuts. Gates: "These cuts will not just kill children, but MILLIONS of children. This is serious stuff! Listen! 🎧

“.. ‘This is their M.O.,’ Mr. Mahdawi’s lawyer, Luna Droubi, said. ‘They just continue to hide the individual to the point where their attorneys can’t quite understand or identify where to file.’” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/n...

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

A MORAL CRISIS “The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored. If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.” Take 3 minutes. This is important.

First real warmth of the sun I’ve felt this year.

This is exactly right. Watch @raskin.house.gov explain how we can stop Trump’s coup:

Everyone should listen to the recent episode of Amicus (podcast by @dahlialithwick.bsky.social ). They are coming after our elections in ruinous ways. I also re-up here my Substack on voter fraud investigations and what they found. Spoiler: it's almost nonexistent. open.substack.com/pub/rebeccas...

Do you know about Robyn Love’s @robynlove.bsky.social wonderful long-form interview show with visual artists on youtube? During these discussions she focuses on the meaning and process of making art. Highly recommend. I was fortunate to be interviewed in April of 2022 m.youtube.com/@smallthings...

Ceramics for an upcoming group show in April with Laura Brodax (also curator), Robert Hardgrave, Gene Gentry McMahon, David Hytone and me. Skagit Blue opens 4/5 at Leonard Brothers Gallery in Mt Vernon.

Part of the chaos of this moment comes from a press failing to call illegal what's illegal, to identify when these are powers not granted to the feds. And part from people cooperating with illegal orders.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

Random pictures from walking in Seattle.

Today is Rosa Parks’ birthday. Her bravery, resilience, and determination to stand against oppression have been guiding lights for activists through generations. Let us continue to fight for justice in her memory.

there are innumerable reasons for why people can't be in the streets, but this list offers us all many points of entry into liberation work and direct or supportive action! I must share this list at least twice a year hehe, I just really love it. 2/2 disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2020/06/06/2...
