RFK Jr. ordered the NIH’s Integrated Research Facility in Frederick to stop all research on serious infectious diseases yesterday at 5:00 PM. They study pathogens like Ebola there. You may be familiar with it from The Hot Zone. www.wired.com/story/hhs-ni...

USA: Remember who the hell you are. If this shit wasn't tolerable before we became the United States, it shouldn't be tolerable now! Benjamin Franklin hated this shit, so if we want to be great again, FIGHT BACK! #history

Trump? Musk? who knows who's paying them or giving them to orders.. but the EXECUTIVE BRANCH is using MERCENARIES to enforce their ILLEGAL ORDERS and if they can get away with doing that.. they won't have to CARE what courts have to say about ANYTHING. THIS SHOULD BE A TOP STORY.

Is there any possibility that the Musk team.. *didn't* violate HIPAA and a ton of other statutes in the course of their ransacking of federal data? and who has standing in the case? everyone ? no one? just the folks under executive authority who will be told to do nothing?

The real war is and always has always been between the people who believe there are masters and slaves... and those who think we are citizens in a society. That's it, that's all of it. the rest is details. And way too much smoke and mirrors.

Nuclear non-proliferation depends ENTIRELY on the premise that America is a reliable security partner. With Trump talking about quitting NATO how long before Poland becomes a Nuclear power? Finland? Sweden? JAPAN? and thats just starters. How do you think THAT affects US in terms of Security?

Interlibrary loan depends on Federal Funding from the IMLS. Trump proposed eliminating IMLS all 4 years of his previous administration. Our first opportunity to support IMLS for 2025 is RIGHT NOW. Sign the petition today! action.everylibrary.org/imls2025

The 35 U.S. Metro areas with populations over 2 million should Apply for statehood. They're already more populous than 14 states that already exist and growing faster anyway. THAT would put the senate back in balance and probably be more efficiently governed that way.

Revolting mob rule, Stalinist, Maoist, fascist, call it what you want, it is disgusting, with the power of the state and social media to mobilize the US version of China's Red Guard to target civil servants, professionals doing their job. Gift article. Please repost. www.wsj.com/tech/musk-un...

So to prevent a “communist take over of USA” Elon had you vote for him to be an agent of influence for Chinese Communist Party controlled platforms.

When people complained about Citizens United, I doubt they even had this in mind as a possibility. One man, not a corporation, able to fund primary challenges against anyone who fails to fall in line. Absolutely grotesque.

After @propublica.org reported on the cases of two women — Amber Thurman and Candi Miller — who died after they couldn’t obtain timely reproductive care in Georgia, the state has dismissed the entire maternal mortality board. www.propublica.org/article/geor...

Each other. The only thing the Zuck ever had to sell us that was of any value at all was each other. Sure its a bit slow on here as it builds momentum but assuming enshitification doesn't catch up with this too fast i want you to imagine Facebook where you MOSTLY see things your friends post
