Here’s a question for JD: Given your past criticisms of Trump & your statements about the dangers of demagoguery, how do you reconcile your support for Trump with the documented consequences,e.g. political division, harm to immigrant communities, & the erosion of democratic norms that have followed?

The only urgent things he accomplished today was shit posting and bragging about installing another flag pole in front of the White House.

Mike Lee needs to resign. He is neither civil, nor servant. This is so heartbreaking in so many ways.

Something everyone can do in light of this horrific terrorist attack. Make a small donation to an organization the family valued ... in Gilbert's name.

During WW2, the Resistance used sabotage, safe houses, and seeding messaging as tactics to help those in need and hinder those who oppressed. What could that look like today, I wonder?

$40k is a little less than 2/3rds of the median annual American income. Well paid American Gestapo.

Best to check, but pepper spray is legal for self defense in most states.

Adding that those masks and uncovered eyes look like they would just soak up a ton of bear spray or mace, if a thug were to threaten. I’ve got a can in my bag.

Powerful concluding statement: “The only thing the White House seems to want, to paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, is for the American people to cease to call the crackdown wrong, and join them in calling it right. I do not think they’ll get their wish.”

I hope the example isn’t too goofy. It’s overall a sad situation that research was so effectively squelched for decades.

Like a school where the principal decides not to give funds or allow studying dinosaurs. Most teachers stop teaching it & smaller clubs (private orgs) might still be interested in dinosaurs, but they don’t have enough resources or support to do much. So hardly anyone learns about dinosaurs anymore.

Private foundations & state grants did fund some research, but much smaller in scale, so the overall amount of research stayed very low. The long freeze also led to a shortage of experts in the field, making it even harder for other organizations to pick up the slack.

You’re right that any organization can do research, but most large-scale research requires funding to do the work. So agencies like CDC and NIH that would’ve done this work couldn’t themselves, and they couldn’t release grants to others to do the work.

“Sky trackers” - Trump hasn’t invented the word radar yet.

Until 2018 when Congress clarified that the CDC could conduct research on gun violence as long as it did not advocate for gun control. But it wasn’t until 2019 when research funding was restored. I’m sure that funding is now gone again.
comment in response to
post
What is even sadder is that it wasn’t a landmark study because of the findings, but rather because the research was actually allowed. For over 2 decades there have been restrictions on gun violence impact research since the 1996 Dickey Amendment with its vague wording that led to a chilling effect.

I wish it was nefarious, but just Trump being oblivious. Trump has played Fortunate Son at his rallies and campaign events multiple times, and Fogerty issued a cease and desist order in 2020 demanding that he stop playing the song. But I guess that didn’t stop Bonespurs.

Weekday protests I take time off from work. Weekends, I give up my free time. We are not paid, we are enraged.

…It’s a good method for organizers and the press; however, it only yields rough numbers( +/- 20%). If you used this method and it calculated 10,000 protesters, the estimate range would be 8,000-12,000.”

Smells like Trump: “Last year the EPA, under President Joseph R. Biden, adopted a ban on the use, manufacture and import of chrysotile asbestos. It was the first legal constraint on a deadly substance since 2016, when Congress updated and strengthened the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act”

I don’t trust this. Grants are issued to achieve an outcome. What does the Trump admin want: Expected Output conserved or rehoused documents & objects; catalog records & metadata; digital surrogates of humanities collections; transcriptions and translations; indexes, databases, or digital resources
