🩵 I do not obey, especially in advance. 💙 Thank you, Timothy Snyder for providing the needed information. 📚 My special superpower is endless arguments with MAGA deluded. So, I will very carefully vet you as a bot or MAGA. There is only so much time.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

A big win! A panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit just blocked the Trump administration’s push to move forward with massive layoffs. The court denied the government’s request to overturn a lower court ruling, meaning the layoffs can’t happen, for now.

I used to wonder how we ended up with so many people who don't think we landed on the moon. Now, I'm surprised we survived the revolution. Can you imagine if the Redcoats had figured out that they could have just framed the King as the protector of freedom and virtue? We'd all have cool accents.
