I misread this as “budget plan would kill two CDC journalists” based on my experiences with this administration and it’s actors

File a DC Bar complaint with him. I did, for his threats against
Georgetown University. You don’t have to be a lawyer, or from DC. Just have some documentation. Takes five minutes. Do it for any of them you encounter lying in filings or
grossly assaulting constitutional rights in public.

We are going full RUSSIA …. Is this what the Republican Congress really wants??

The Trump administration won’t rest until the rest of the country is as stupid as they are. The idea is that if everyone is stupid, no one has to feel insecure about not being intelligent. It’s a brilliant strategy, like levying extreme tariffs to make sure that the US uses only what it makes.

Scientist here. Language like "competing viewpoints" is attempt to blur line 'tween evidence based arguments (science) & purely ideological ones (propaganda). Sci pubs publish based on review of data & inference quality.

This is an attempt to destroy truth, which only benefits propagandists.

The US is so fucked! What a terrible waste for the world. All so unnecessary. 🫩

Trump, aka Krasnov, has no computation about killing Americans. He managed to kill a million with his mismanagement of the COVID pandemic. He was apathetic about the potential murders on J6, including police & his VP. In fact he encouraged the terrorists. He's following the orders of his commisar.

There is 0 sense to be made of this behavior. What the hell do they plan to achieve? The cruelty is the point...again...but do they not think that cruelty will come home to roost with their loved ones? Do they have super genes that never get cancer, never have a heart attack?

In time of torment, partisanship on the side of truth and justice is a compelling duty not a fancied privilege

I thought his main achievement was gaslighting a congressional hearing on those responsible for January 6th

It's almost as if the goal is the utter destruction of the state and what remains of our tattered social contract.

This attack on science wasn’t part of Trump’s campaign either in 2016 or 2020. Unclear where it’s coming from. From him? From Musk? From the religious nuts?

zencker.bsky.social•1 day ago

Putin. Why is this hard to see?

welshrarebit.bsky.social•1 day ago

Granted. But it’s still unclear which branch of the Trump movement is pushing it. Is the purpose to fund tax cuts or to destroy the Antichrist? Or is it that Trump is still mad at Dr Fauci for upstaging him?

pediatricpulse.bsky.social•21 hours ago

I think it was there but slightly less overt. All conspiracies converge in the end. But definitely seeing a shift of medicine/science rejection towards the religious right.

One of the scientists interviewed for this article “acknowledges there are issues with a lack of political diversity in academia”. Obviously, because MAGAs don’t believe in science and they want to kill knowledge for the rest of us.

lord-of-the-pyrs.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Its a fucking bullshit narrative. We r hired based on our science and as you say, cultists don't believe in the process. So yeah-they ain't out there, or, like the quacks in the Trump WH-they suck.

Trump,MAGA and the GOP are catering to radical Christian Fundamentalists,Paleo-Conservatives and social conservatives who think science research promotes Marxism and Atheism👍

These aren't subtle patterns of behavior. These are deliberate, substantive acts designed to destroy every sector where the US is competitive on the world stage & to collapse our economy. You don't need missiles & bombs to destroy a country anymore. Folks need to wake the F up.

Makes you wonder who our president works for? Seems in line with this stunning development. The ruble was in the dumps when Pres. Biden left office. Look at it now: https://financialpost.com/news/economy/ruble-top-performing-currency-trade-war-hits-us-dollar

All universities should stop giving anything of their research or other data to the federal government and start securing it in non-government, and non-broligarch, access computers and sharing it strictly among themselves, in a consortium of Knowledge!
Do the same in any other area of study, too!

petrichorist.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is an out and out assault on civilization itself. These are shitty people doing their best to remake the world in their shitty vision. Passive legislative responses probably aren't going to cut it. This is going to require physical intervention.

edickenson.bsky.social•1 day ago

Do people like him think they’ll be able to live in peace in America after this is done? I’m all for freedom of speech but treasonous behavior is entirely another issue.
