👇🎯 The public isn't going to understand this, unless the presidents of R1 universities around the country <loudly> & <collectively> get out into the public square & start explaining this & calling out the existential threat to the entire 🇺🇸 university system. The silence is deafening right now.

I am sorry for Vance's kid, but he leads a regime that has called for a "de-Baathification" of public employees, promising to put them "in trauma."

As Vance and Musk take to Vichy Twitter to complain about how mean everyone is to them about Ukraine, it is important to remember that a multinational force equipped with NATO tech could push Russia out of the Donbas by Labor Day. It is merely a question of which side has the will to defeat Putin

This is huge. These centers effectively house and support nearly all university and medical school research focused on Alzheimers Disease. They're the bedrock, the infrastructure, that undergirds all of that research.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

🧵 Yesterday I shared my views on how disordered discourse has captured the US state and the risk of that happening elsewhere, but I don’t want to leave you hanging without proposing a solution.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

ActBlue processes payments to progressive organizations, this statement by President Musk makes no sense factually but shows that he will use the federal government to attack any organization that he feels could service entities that threaten his personal business. Standard move by Corrupt Oligarch.

I agree with this thread. Among the many things Democrats are not good at right now is simply saying that a Republican policy is immoral. It's a word we should be hearing every day.

again, I think a major problem with America is that a critical mass of voters and elites have convinced themselves they can't die even if they stab themselves—that it is impossible to elect a government that actually makes their lives worse so its all just a game

We need some better language for pushing back against what the administration is doing. They’re not “ending DEI.” No. They're firing women and people of color in the military. They’re forbidding whole fields of research. They’re erasing trans people from existence.

If there is a recession, it will not have been caused by complex fluctuations in the economy. It will have been caused by Trump’s intentionally reckless chaos. Presidents rarely have this direct responsibility for economic cycles but this would be an exception.

It is remarkable (compared to other backsliding regimes) how brazen and transparent Trump is in targeting his "enemies." In Turkey, it would take months and an enterprising journalist to uncover that a university had its funds cut off, a firm blacklisted, contracts rescinded, or thousands fired.

At 5 pm Fri, the Social Security Admin announced that it will withhold the entire Social Security benefits of overpaid seniors & people w/disabilities, even if not their fault—reversing a Biden-era reform that limited repayment to 10% of the monthly benefit. This will cause needless suffering.

You cannot take these pundits seriously. Chris Cuomo was just railing against Columbia and tax dollars and elite this and that. He went to private school K-12 and attended Yale. Any of these conservatives or moderates who don’t talk about their own schooling first should be ignored.
