A giant banner of Trump is now ominously hanging at the front of the Dept. of Agriculture. It's not the kind of thing American presidents do. It's more in line with what you typically see in places like North Korea -- and it's the latest sign that America might be sliding into autocracy. #Velshi

For at least half a century, the National Weather Service has been an around-the-clock operation. But due to DOGE cuts, that is no longer possible in some parts of the country. America is infinitely less safe. Tens of millions of lives are being endangered by Trump and DOGE. GIFT: wapo.st/4k1Ha8B

Oh my God. Make it stop. Once again, screaming into the void: in 2024, it was the <Republicans> who actually nominated the old guy with mental acuity problems. The Democrats, you will remember, actually pushed their old guy out & chose someone else. What are we doing here? bsky.app/profile/mcop...

This entire thing is obscene media failure (bsky.app/profile/mcop...) in the face of fascism. But also, the Democrats…did not <nominate> Biden. They moved rapidly to <not> nominate him, in fact. No, the party that nominated the old guy showing obvious signs of mental decline was…the Republicans.

The consolidation of review at NIH is really driven by the Trump/Republican desire to control NIH grantmaking from the top. Here’s an example of the chaos that’s happening now. It will get worse unless CSR and review are walled off from political interference.

ICE dragged a mother from her home in Massachusetts—clinging to her baby—without showing a warrant or ID. When neighbors demanded proof, ICE sneered, “We don’t have to show you anything.” That’s not law enforcement. That’s state-sponsored kidnapping. This is fascism & it’s terrifying.

If you read the testimonies of the people starving to death in Gaza you'll realise that they had normal lives and jobs two years ago. They worked in IT, they were chefs or nurses, they had small businesses, they underwent IVF, they cooked big family meals. They are no different to you or me.
