What an extraordinary thing.   Not just for Senator Booker but for New Jersey and the millions of Americans he spoke for today. This is an extraordinary moment that demands us to act and build a better future for our country.

Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes. The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957. I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.

In Signalgate, Trumpworld is demonstrating exactly what's wrong with authoritarian populism: Refusal to admit error, walling out of constructive criticism, the cult-like defense of the leader at all costs. Transcript of discussion w/ @zackbeauchamp.bsky.social: newrepublic.com/article/1932...

Always interesting to arrive at a hotel and see what Home Me thought I would be doing. Did I pack for an 18th C ball? Perhaps for finally doing the yoga I’ve been saying I will do for two years?

We just got a membership last month and I have two teenagers in spring sports so…let’s just say we have been doing our part to support them 🥴💸

It is a slow process. My book has some strategies. Shoot me a DM and I can share some chapters.

I talk about this in my book, as well as other tactics like “nudging.” It’s important to remember it is a slow process, as misinformation is *very* sticky

One of my professors hit it home with the point that if you are lucky to live long enough, you will at some point have a disability. It just makes sense to always make things accessible and accommodate everyone. Also it’s kind. Fucking assholes.

BREAKING: "At 1:15 PM tomorrow, President Trump will pick a country's name out of a MAGA hat and impose crippling tariffs on that country's goods for four minutes. This will happen daily until America is great again."

My daughter was interviewing me last night and she asked what most angered me or something, and I said “people who are not curious, who do not wish to learn more.” MAGAts are so full of fear about Others. They are so closed off. And they are missing so much.

The state of the union? 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Half of Americans struggle to afford rent. Homelessness has risen by record numbers two years in a row. The #1 cause of bankruptcy is medical debt. Our taxes are funding a genocide.

I mean, it’s true. And more countries need to start saying this out loud because MAGAts live in a delusional world and don’t realize we have been sliding for decades while the rest of the world moves forward

In this culture of rampant consumerism, the library is a bastion of counter culture. There one can check out things for free. Great books filled with profound ideas are all available for free.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

We're not done yet | 18F

My brain decided to be wide awake from 2-5am, during which time I indulged my inner theory nerd and read about the non-human turn. It was all very exciting and I had some brilliant insights for my dissertation that I scribbled on an envelope. I only understand half of it today. #PhD

Among the more inhumane things Trump/Musk have done this week, DOGE cut off food, water, & fuel to the US embassy in South Sudan. They are living on what power the generator can provide. The country has no potable water & there's a cholera outbreak in the country. These Americans are in real danger.

RFK Jr said measles patients are hospitalized for quarantine. This is false. They are hospitalized with: •respiratory distress •pneumonia •dangerously high fever •encephalitis •severe dehydration from vomiting & diarrhea These are from measles, a serious illness. Preventable via vaccination.

The first measles death in the US in a decade is NOT normal.
Here's what you should know about how to keep you and your loved ones safe.

Meanwhile, they're banning drag shows, scrubbing pronouns from emails, criminalizing consensual adult content, and trying to erase trans people from public life, all in the name of "protecting women and children." This is what fascists do and what they have always done.
