Heading back to LA today, but for now I’m going to sit at the window and watch the snow melt.

Portly man with a bald head and moustache, wearing a suit and tie, holds his two sons who have shaved heads. They all look very lost, and a deep sadness pervades the room.

My current cycle:
Talk/think about fire
do some good
post some art on IG
read news
think of worst case scenarios
read a smutty book about dragons
repeat.
Trying to remember that good things exist:
-my kids
-my friends
-books
-Quincy Jones’ Love and Peace
-my dog
Tell me your good things.
#CouplonMusk paid about $250m to help Trump win the White House.
He is getting access to the personal information of 334.9m Americans. And allegedly storing it on private servers.
That is less than $1 per person. To sell America out.

TOMORROW: We’re rallying at the Treasury building with @moveon.org to stop Elon Musk’s hostile takeover and tell this unelected billionaire to get his hands off our money. We hope you can join us if you’re in the D.C. area.
Finally, we’re starting to see some fight. We need more of this 🔥
🚨Trump’s decision to shut down USAID has frozen critical work to deliver vital assistance around the globe, and put China in the driver’s seat.
There you go, missing the point.
Big national media outlet still failing.
Headlines suggest some dispute over data access at US AID.
*Not connecting the dots with other DOGE moves.
*Not conveying illegality.
*Not communicating constitutional crisis.
He and a group of under-25 techbros obtained the data of American citizens illegally. With zero authority.
Musk tweet boasting of "feeding USAID into the chipper"
![“I went over it with him in detail, and he agreed that we should shut it down,” Musk said. “And I actually checked with him a few times [and] said ‘are you sure?’”
The answer was yes, he said.
“And so we’re shutting it down,” Musk said.
USAID staffers were told that the agency’s headquarters in Washington will be closed Monday amid the turmoil.
In an email to staff early Monday, the agency’s leadership said: “Agency personnel normally assigned to work at USAID headquarters will work remotely … with the exception of personnel with essential on-site and building maintenance functions individually contacted by senior leadership.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2rrp7amblhg3xoly5n5huiqv/bafkreihfrxbqqzx6xoeoudgfglj52il2ts26n2dkmxhq6ulwdbt7thegzy)

The executive branch does not have the legal right to cancel appropriated spending or eliminate agencies created by Congress.
Trump and Musk are doing both. Entirely lawless and unconstitutional.
The world's largest provider of food assistance shut down.

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.
More comfortable? For whom? All women remember from that movie is that they called her fat the whole time.
I was born in the 70s, when LA still looked like the 50s & 60s. They didn’t tear things down as quickly then. I’m trying to find all the pieces of my childhood that still exist…which is harder to do after most of them burned down.

@bluehost.bsky.social why is your service so bad?
Why have I not been able to check the email of my business in a year?
Why have I been on a help chat with someone for an hour?
These are not rhetorical questions.
