The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again. We worked for decades to have them remembered. The Airmen too. Knowledge is power. 🗃️ www.msn.com/en-us/societ...

A tale of Elon and his apologists: Elon lets Nazis back on his platform - "he's defending free speech" He regularly amplifies supremacist ideologies, memes and conspiracy theories - "he's doing it for engagement" He does the Nazi salute (twice) - "he has autism-ish" Elon is a Nazi. The End.

The guy spend a chunk of his childhood in an internment camp because our government thought he might be dangerous because he was of Japanese descent. He was also gay when you were forced to hide it. It’s been much worse for a lot of people in our history. George knows what he’s talking about.

Everyone in the media needs to read this comment below. While the legacy media is telling itself the problem is disappointed voters who need a break, the truth is customers disappointed in the content they are being offered and the patronizing responses.

Trump will not deport migrants working for the companies of his friends and donors, and he will grant tariff exemptions for the companies of his friends and donors. Watch.

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!

I’m not saying the Xodus is unstoppable, but I am saying my mum just forwarded me an email from her local theatre explaining why they’re moving to Bluesky. If you’ve lost South Oxfordshire amateur dramatics, you stand to lose a whole lot more.

So are we going to start having a conversation about what may be about to happen to resourcing for USA libraries, archives, and museums, if the federal cuts go ahead...? And which ones are obviously most likely to be targeted? and what we can do in advance of January to support? data lifeboats?

I'll remind y'all that @laurahelmuth.bsky.social and I both did battle with RFK Jr. years ago. I wrote many times on what an anti-science ass he was and still is. Him running HHS could very well be the single worst disaster of the incoming administration. slate.com/technology/2...
