In the 42 years since the start of the Reagan revolution, bought-off politicians have so altered our tax code that fully $51 trillion has moved from the homes and savings of working-class Americans into the money bins of the morbidly rich money hoarders.

Temu quality work output. Which might be fine if no one gives a shit about the quality of results but it can make even more work than it solves and push that work onto someone unpaid as an externality. See the paper author who was fixing unpaid the "copyedits" to her conference proceedings.

A friend went to an academic conference in Canada & said a bunch of people from the States didn't go bc they're on Visas & worried that they wouldn't be let back in. Our science (& humanity) is being destroyed in so many ways. But I guess it doesn't matter bc we're all going to die anyway.

"You see it in the carefully planted stories and apparently tossed off quotes." @joshtpm.bsky.social doubts any storyline that frames Elon as "someone who tried to tame government spending but was simply over-matched by 'Washington’s ways' and finally failed." talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/dont-...

A good chunk of the nation now lives in states where they cannot sue the government for violating their voting rights. This is very bad.

What I think happened: they wrote their opinion about health and fed it into AI to generate citations to back it up. Surprise: it didn't work. AI-generated 🍒 picking. "The Trump administration's report on kids' health cites made-up scientific studies" @npr.org #medsky www.npr.org/2025/05/30/n...

🙋‍♂️ I was in the safety trial for (the original) Gardasil HPV vaccine for males. And I can assure you that I was like this before I got the shots. I can also confirm firsthand that vaccines are tested for safety more times and in more ways than most people will ever be able to comprehend.

Here’s something we can all do: every time we see something about the Trump administration’s attacks on science — and the impacts of those attacks — boost it. People, and even faculty, have no idea how bad it is and how much worse it’s going to get. We need to let people know…

Rupert Murdoch did this. American democracy is hanging by a thread because of Fox’s lies about our elections and its promotion of bigotry. People are dying because of anti-vax fears supercharged by Fox’s conspiracy theories. Rupert Murdoch did this. He is one of the monsters of our age.

Trump wants us to lose faith in the justice system by undermining it with pardons, even while denying others due process. But wrong is still wrong, and we must continue to fight him.

I’ll say it again - when any politician uses the ‘I haven’t read that story’ lie about something they knew they would get asked about, the interviewer has a duty to say ‘Okay, in that case I’m going to terminate this interview and you can come back when you’re better prepared.”
