Trump has canceled all NIH study sections indefinitely. No study sections means no grant reviews. No grant reviews mean no funding grants. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities and numerous research institutions. www.science.org/content/arti...

Everyone should prepare. Members of the Biden Administration and those who advised them closely are now spreading analyses around that they were exactly right, but that Ukraine didn’t listen to their genius and will collapse in 2025 because of this. Watch out for it.

I mean honestly, this TikTok scam Trump’s pulled out of a hat like a three year old with their first Marvin’s Magic set is risible. What’s more worrying is that there are enough gullible Americans falling for it.

3 things about this message that greeted millions of Americans on TikTok today: 1) the shamelessness of Trump who just U-turned on his opposition to TikTok. 2) the shamelessness of these tech companies, sucking up to Trump. 3) the fecklessness of Biden who gave Trump this win.

Did Gaza cost Biden re-election? His ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, seems to thinks so: "Standing with Israel for these past 15 months, with huge opposition in the media, in parts of his own party, you could argue that it contributed to making his challenge for reelection insurmountable."

Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 charges but won't face any punishment — and will be back in the White House this month. Nearly 800 prisoners are now helping to battle Los Angeles fires, making as little as $5.80 per day. A tale of two justice systems.

Confusion and bullshit. That was and is the American right wing. I honestly don’t see how we make it through the next four years without significant political violence. Is there any other way of dealing with the right, an enemy that believes lying is a good thing

Imagine if 2 weeks before the inauguration in 2021, a top donor to Biden, who he had appointed to a top position in his administration, had gone on Twitter & said to a member of the public ‘f u retard’. Imagine the media response - and the pressure on Biden. Just imagine.

A good time to remember that Jimmy Carter really tried hard for people and cared for people (and let’s remember how US hostages remained in Iran for extra time so that the arsehole Ronald Reagan could play hero in the first month of office - what a shitbag)

Remember the right-wing plot to sabotage Jimmy Carter’s re-election by urging Iran to hold American hostages longer? You don’t? It’s a shocking example of the American right’s treachery that more people should know about. (Gift link to 2023 NYT story.)

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

When Trump passes away, that’s the end of his MAGA movement. It dies with him. That’s the way of history for absolute authoritarians. Lenin was at the head of the Bolsheviks, the Communists, a political party, much bigger than him. Trump is MAGA. MAGA dies when Trump does
