Everyone has their own risk tolerance. Everyone also has their own pain tolerance. Everyone is very very different.

This is devastating news for US science

How Trump's attempt to limit birthright citizenship is taking us back to the 1800s. My @sfc_opinions newsletter @sfchronicle #WongKimArk sfchronicle.com/opinion/articl…

March 2025: 17-day strike. No VTA transit service for 18 days. March 2026: Highest March ridership since pre-pandemic. We know how to make a comeback in Santa Clara County!!!

One year ago today, Trump called it "Liberation Day." Liberation from what, exactly? Trade deficit hit an all-time high. Manufacturing jobs lost. Small businesses hammered. Farmers facing bankruptcy. All while consumers foot the bill. Let's be clear: Trump’s tariff war was waged on American families. This wasn't liberation. It was a price hike on working people dressed up in a rose garden ceremony. The only thing liberated was money from your wallet.

If Trump could have paid TSA agents this whole time, why did he wait?

Republicans’ voter suppression bill is about stopping CITIZENS from voting. We cannot allow that to happen.

All wars have costs and benefits. Focusing solely on benefits without accounting for costs is poor analysis. The converse is also true.

"Decades from now, when historians write a full accounting of this war, serious analytical books (or however we will consume knowledge then) will describe how Ukraine defeated Russia. I am confident in that prediction because Putin has already failed to achieve any of his initial war aims and has very few options to reverse these outcomes, even if he decides to fight on for years."

When Obama sent Iran $400m + $1.3bn in interest in 2016 Trump called it "insane" and he and others spent a decade mocking the idea of "pallets of cash" even though it was Iran's own money, American prisoners were released, courts were likely to require the U.S. payment, and Iran had just agreed to significant and verified reductions and restrictions on its nuclear program for 15+ years. Now Trump is giving Iran up to ten times that amount of revenue--one of the most significant measures of sanctions relief provided to the Islamic Republic since its founding--in exchange for marginal and temporary relief from the big increase in oil prices his actions have caused, without any concessions from Tehran, and even as Iran continues to target the United States, its allies, and world oil supplies. No way to read as anything other than desperate recognition of the situation Trump's own actions have created and the lack of available alternatives for dealing with it.

@jcb10 @nytimes And 54 is sooo young!

Horrible. First Michelle, now Nicholas — it’s been a hard couple years for #BTVS fans. “The Zeppo” is one of the best “side-quest” episodes of TV ever made. @NYTimes: Nicholas Brendon, a Star in ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer,’ Is Dead nytimes.com/2026/03/20/art…

I often find that when you know where to submit complaints, stay persistent, document everything, and keep at it you get results. Power mapping is key. It’s how I changed federal policy regarding segways on @Amtrak when I was 21.

@mattxiv i can't help but wonder if the people giving rama grief over these ancient posts have had anything to say abt trans citizens in kansas all suddenly losing their primary form of ID, w/o prior warning. surely if they care SO MUCH about queer people, they've spoken out abt that
