We’ve already had people sent to Gitmo and then deported to Venezuela so if whatever “first they came for…” you’re reaching for as a white person isn’t acknowledging the ongoing removal of brown people from the country then idk like maybe the poem is for you and not about you

Can someone explain to me what this means for Musk, given the degree to which he is leveraged? His whole thing is borrowing against his Tesla stock, right? And doesn't the whole house of cards fall once it drops below a certain point?

My wife is an infectious disease pediatrician. She is very worried about the possibility that HHS will shut down the nation's primary program for vaccinating kids. It funds on the order of half of all vaccinations. (And yes, I know it's congress that is supposed to decide on funding, but...) ☠️

Weird its almost like some of us on the academic and research side were right the entire time. Really bums me out how people just couldn't and wouldn't see what has always been right in front of them.

American researchers are on the verge of curing cancer and Trump/Elon are calling it wasteful spending.

Of course he is. Why the fuck else would he bring the kid with him everywhere. He doesn't give a fuck about that kid, it's a human shield. Like Martin Sheen's character in "The Dead Zone."

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

If only any of my anyone held town halls. Incidentally, Marsha's last in-person town hall she has ever held was eight years ago today, while she was a Rep. I know this, because we drove over to Fairview to yell at her.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

It's important to remain steadfast about the fact that Elon Musk is a giant loser and no amount of money or power can change that. He will die unhappy because he thinks you can buy cool. Any amount of caring for other people makes you better than him.

one downside of living in a society steeped in apocalypse-as-entertainment is that most people have simplistic ideas of what the future will look like: either “good” or “bad” as someone who explores future scenarios professionally, I’d offer few thoughts about what’s next 1/

I hate to say that we should return to a more limited or traditional version of masculinity because of all the problems it caused, but I think we can all agree that putting the nerds in charge of everything has been just as bad for everyone, if not worse.
