"Everyday People" by Sly & The Family Stone is a powerful anthem of unity, highlighting that despite differences, all people are equal and should coexist peacefully. Its messages challenged prejudice and celebrated inclusivity, as the band was one of the first major integrated rock groups.

ripples.
when you create a difference in someone's life, you not only impact their life, you impact everyone influenced by them throughout their entire lifetime.
no act is ever too small.

I'm a reporter at NBC News and I'm interested in speaking with people who are familiar with the specific technical details of onboarding DOGE staff at the federal agency level β€” USAID or CFPB or wherever. You can reach me on Signal at: davidingram.77. I can honor requests for anonymity.

1. The executive orders did *not* freeze federal funding.

2. The Monday OMB memo *did* freeze federal funding.

3. OMB rescinded Monday’s memo, thereby rescinding the funding freeze.

4. The EOs (which did not freeze federal funding) are still in effectβ€”and, for these purposes, irrelevant.

Sigh.

The real trap here is that the Republicans have made defending civil rights seem like a frivolous thing and a whole lot of liberals are falling in line. Even if it was a culture war, so what? This would be a war worth fighting. What are we even doing here, people? Get it together.

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of β€œprotecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

On anticipatory obedience and the media Trump's campaign against the Fourth Estate has been unfolding before our eyesβ€”far more effectively than some in the press would like to believe.

The @washingtonpost.com not endorsing a presidential candidate this year is anticipatory obedience by an oligarch with business before US government.

As with @latimes.com not endorsing this year, the late timing left no question of why.

Bezos made a tragic mockery of β€œDemocracy dies in darkness.”

Shot across the bow of academia. I think it’s safe to say he had no actual plan as of now for how to tax endowments or build anything resembling the β€œAmerican Academy”, but he’s counting on the threat to get everyone to toe the line. DON’T OBEY IN ADVANCE.
