This post is going to be long but it’s important. One of the least-discussed developments in the Trump administration is the creation of the National Design Studio (NDS). On the surface, it was presented as a project to modernize government websites and improve the user experience.

I don’t think I’m alone in saying it f*cking sucks to be paying taxes this year. And it sucks even more that corporations and billionaires *aren’t* paying them at all. Tax the rich. I’ve had it.

@traffic.wsdot.wa.gov all the signs for the 522 closures say that it starts at 10 PM tonight, and here we are at 9:10 pm, and we're already being re-routed trying to get home from Bothell going East to Echo Lake. We planned to beat the 10 PM deadline... what's the deal?

The Trump administration is blatantly violating the Hatch Act in order to deflect blame for their shutdown—-it’s part of a much bigger pattern.

To any tourism agencies out there, as an American who might be unwillingly kept from getting updated COVID vaccines, I 100% will visit your country and spend my tourist $ there for vaccines. Start a new "vaccine tourism" campaign.

There should be zero reason for not allowing public scrutiny of these kinds of comms. I thought Texas was all about populism and small government? This kind of thing is exactly what foments distrust in government institutions.

🚨2 months ago, every National Weather Service Director of the last 34 years took the unprecedented step of signing a joint, open letter. “Our worst nightmare is that weather forecast offices will be so understaffed that there will be needless loss of life.” The Houston office is 44% UNDERSTAFFED.

Headline of New York Times story from May 2nd.

It reads:

Former Weather Service Leaders Warn Staffing Cuts Could Lead to 'Loss of Life'

The former agency directors say current employees will face an "impossible task" to maintain service just as hurricane season begins.

By Camille Baker
May 2, 2025
Five former National Weather Service directors have taken the unusual step of signing onto an open letter warning that cuts to the organization by the Trump administration may soon endanger lives.
"N.W.S. staff will have an impossible task to continue its current level of services," they write in the letter, dated Friday. "Our worst nightmare is that weather forecast offices will be so understaffed that there will be needless loss of life."
Hundreds of Weather Service employees, or about 10 percent of the agency's total staff, have been terminated or accepted buyout offers since President Trump began his second term, according to the letter.

The Republican strategy seems to be to "decrease the surplus population" either by defunding healthcare or by imprisoning anyone they see fit. Clearly they all need a visit from three spirits.

UPDATE: Senate Republicans made Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill even worse. Now, this bill rips health care coverage away from 17 MILLION people—that’s an additional 1 MILLION people. Health care cuts now total over $1 TRILLION.

No matter where someone was born, the United States should never tolerate inhumane treatment. Yet right now, detainees in ICE custody are facing conditions that are simply unacceptable in any country that claims to uphold human rights, let alone one that prides itself on freedom and the rule of law.

@sound-transit.bsky.social we were waiting for a northbound train from U district to Lynnwood tonight. The signage alternately indicated a time, then a delay. We called security and they said no train was coming. Better alerts are needed. We ended up Ubering.

I just don’t think there’s been enough attention to this. Chancellor Merz is beyond shady here - and for a good cause. And Trump’s reaction - as though proof of his very recent immigrant roots is almost like kryptonite - reveals much about how to confront Trump about his actions against migrants.

The Four Seasons is one of my favorite movies of all time. 3 reasons are Alan Alda, Carol Burnett, and Rita Moreno. Other reasons include my young self trying to understand adult relationships and hoping to have deep friendships. The Netflix Series did not disappoint. I love GenX taking our turn.

Perspective: Harvard is more than 100 years older than the country in which it resides. It has literally survived every president we've had (and educated quite a few of them, but very obviously not this one). I hope its leadership continues to play the long game.
