This fantastic piece by Stewart Patrick is an excellent summary of the wrecking ball that Trump is taking to the entire international order crafted by Dem & Repub presidents over 80 yrs. Who does this benefit? The Kremlin, for certain. No one else. carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...

I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

Many people in responses are adding their own reps to Prof. Snyder’s list. I hope this helps the Resistance stop saying “dEMs aRe dOInG NotHiNg.” Support those who are, pressure those who should be doing more. My senators are in both categories, so they hear from me every damn day.

Road to the VRA: 60 years ago today, Dr. King tells a gathering in Selma of his plan for a march on the state capitol in Montgomery "to tell Governor Wallace we aren't going to take it any more." This, however, not yet a march on foot. Rather, people will travel by car/bus from around the state.

Science (and science policy, and conservation) friends, I need your help! We are collecting *specific, clear* examples of harms caused by the Trump administration's attacks on science, to be included in an open letter. Can be links to news stories/social media posts. 🧪🦑🌎 #SciComm #SciPol

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

If you’re not watching TV news because <all the reasons> it’s worth looking up @maddow.msnbc.com’s broadcast tonight to reinspire you for the fight to come.
