History has shown that the answer to despair is action. And that’s what we’re going to give them – persistence, resistance, and an unshakable knowledge that we can and will stop them.
18 AGs are challenging the attempt to undercut birthright citizenship, judges are putting holds on implementation of some EOs, schools and churches are not allowing ICE access into their buildings without warrants, some news outlets and journalists are doing in depth analysis and reporting
It’s not about research. It’s about eviscerating the power of public health officials to tell Trump what to do (or not to do). It’s about taking the public policy power away from public health. — One of the prongs Trump needs to anchor his dictatorship.
I mean let’s not undersell this. It’s an attack on science & innovation in general.
NSF grants enable 1000s of startups. Cutting its funding is a job killer across many, many industries. I would have been out of a job if this happened last year. Thankfully, we used all our funding & are holding on.
You're assuming the guy who suggested drinking bleach would cure COVID in a live press conference when many WERE dying actually cares. He does not care. His goal is to disempower and disable society, that's it.
The Trump administration is sending this country into absolute chaos. Those of us in STEM are watching our institutions crumble at the hands of an aspiring Caligula.
The idiots are in control. Future civilizations will talk about the fall of the USA. “How could you let this happen?” they will ask us. Well, we stopped valuing education, intelligence, and life experience. We let the dollar replace common sense and human decency.
We aren't defeated just yet, and there are plenty of us who are educated, intelligent, critical thinkers that won't despair in a matter of 2 weeks. Chin up.
Conservatives stopped having any need for science once stuffed crust was invented and they solved the age old question of where to put more cheese on a pizza
I *think* it may be because I
shared it on multiple posts? I was flagged on a few of them. I only transitioned here about a week ago so learning. Didn’t like being flagged but was glad to see there is at least monitoring over here after the hellscape that is now Twitter.
I think you only being here for a week is a part of it, too. I have seen reports of new users mistakenly being marked as spam, and others saying that it happened to them but then went away after some time.
Federal employees - Preserve any and all records (leave, pay, health care) which show your employment status. This will help to fight any potential malicious, illegal reclassification by Musk or other FOTUS agents. DO NOT ACCEPT ANY PERSONNEL OFFERS from them!!!!
Disagree. The answer is punching back. Too many folks despairing and playing victim and the clown has only been in for two weeks. Time we all grow some spines and resiliency.
He won an election, attempted the violent overthrow of US, won a second election. Owns the court and both houses. Is dismantling civil service. Do you see no historical president?
In 1980 illegal now legal:
Abortion ban
Southern voter suppression
President doing felony
Judge getting $10M bribe
Spending $300M on election
Avg worker made more than his father.
Major parties did not do Nazi salute.
Pres did not believe dictators over US intel or have “love affair" with them.

The people began to worship wealth, & wealth alone.
We mistook greed & selfishness for intelligence & competence. We cheered on the blatant, over-the-top corruption.
The pain came faster than expected but the snowball had grown far too large to stop.
Now, without scientific advice, TEPCO is freely spending the national budget to pollute the ocean and spread radioactive soil across the country.

Apparently lots if people were making “good trouble” by calling:

Everything Trump Touches turns to 💩
Things are very bad and will get much worse.
When 2 parties hate each other, it is time for divorce. Secession is the answer.
Please stop winning. We can't take anymore.
