The fact that most of us can't name a policy advanced by the Right that has improved a majority of people's lives to me is telling. It suggests that when you hear some people say that a "strong" GOP is needed, that they are full of shit or complicit in making people's lives more awful.

Some great news. My hybrid memoir IN OPEN COUNTRY will now be published by Little, Brown. It’s about freedom of movement and stillness in the US, and the ways capitalism & settler colonialism have shaped (and continue to shape) the answer to who has either across time. I also do a lot of walking.

Evidence that DOGE has not only accessed sensitive data, but also removed data illegally, covering their tracks as they did so. Like hackers would do. Not what a legitimate government organization would do.

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.
