The sense of sadness and despair that many of us who left countries, where science and research were not valued or that simply there were no resources, feel about the wanton and deliberate destruction of US science (a beacon for the world) is immeasurable.

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

The Dept. of Justice has filed its first voter suppression lawsuit aimed at disenfranchising voters. This is a critical juncture for democracy. Paige and I discuss the implications and how it echoes claims made by failed state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin. youtu.be/8XEW-Ga428M

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

If Osama bin Laden were still alive, he could promise a Trump Tower in Afghanistan — and Trump would lift the terrorism designation for al Qaeda and order all 9/11 memorials be destroyed for being “woke.” THAT is how craven Trump is. It’s not America First. It’s Trump First.
