@elipariser Being made to feel small and insignificant unlocks this for me. I am humbled by great works of art (I cry at art museums). Or seeing that little blue dot, Earth. Or being in the presence of whales. Also felt this at La Sagrada Familia. I think because it is a monument to nature.

If a government cannot protect the most basic right of bodily autonomy for its people, then that government is clearly a failed design. Extremists exploited every weakness in that design over decades, in order to control women, and they are victorious today.

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This decision—pushed by a far-right partisan legal group desperate to prevent votes that could end Trump’s presidency—should be overturned. But whether or not it is, it’s on us to organize the Dems that the GOP is trying to suppress, and make their plan backfire.

[Valiant_try @valiant]

"How do we translate values into criteria for procurement?" Awesome question for both gov't and their vendor partners #CfASummit @18F @mark43 @avisare1 @LACity
