it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Trump is seeking to destroy anything that can hold him accountable. It's a necessary first step in totalitarian control. Another malicious attack on the US Govt from inside the house.

These emails, sent across agencies, compel all federal employees to snitch on any colleague whose work might have some vague DEIA inflection. Those who refuse to snitch will be disciplined. Seems designed to put all workers who aren’t white men under a cloud of suspicion. Truly vile stuff.

We should be clear that the language in the anti “DEI” executive order and the subsequent letter sent to federal employees to turn in colleagues who try to “disguise” DEI under other names means hires and promotions of Black and other POC will be deemed suspicious. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

“Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.” T.Snyder.

"Indeed, but for Mr. Trump's election and imminent return to the Presidency, the Office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial." #Trump, 1st convicted felon who faced other serious charges will occupy the office with impunity.

How does Musk benefit from the fascist swings in Europe? He's not so financially rewarded as he is with US Govt. contracts. He gains notoriety and influence but what's the endgame? 🤔

Trent had a bad day. Robbo played well and generally bossed his side of the pitch. They were left exposed when Konates legs started to go but we need to keep things in perspective. Connor Bradley is a keeper. Let's not panic.

Over in the other place, the billionaire owner is threatening to fund ‘moderate’ (rightwing) candidates in heavily Democratic districts too. This is what oligarchy looks like. It’s the biggest threat to democracy today. Not ‘cancel culture.’ Not trans kids. Not college protesters. Oligarchy.

The irony, right? And I’m not throwing shade for his history of drug abuse… But he should NOT be leading this nation’s medical institutions without a background in medicine, healthcare or a basic understanding of science and the benefit of vaccines. PERIOD.

Essential to be clear on Mitchs actions promoting and protecting Trump. He placed the key judges (SCOTUS/ Cannon) in position and he refused to convict Trump after J6. He deserves no credit for trying to contain the danger he fed.

Elon Musk is frustrated by the ‘President Musk’ moniker, according to @kateconger.com. “The fact that he is aware that this is going to be a friction point between him and the President-elect and is trying to push back on that speaks volumes.”

He got the best government money can buy. Cheap at the price. He can influence the regulations that control his own business'. Clear conflict of interest from Co-Pres. Musk. Welcome to the Oligarch Age.

Chris Murphy: "I read the headlines about the Liz Cheney criminal referral and almost every single one of them in mainstream media played this straight as if it was a normal function of legislative power, instead of telling the truth, which is that this is made up out of thin air."

A man with money seeks power over the Govt. The leader of the Govt. needs money for his own corrupt ends. It's an openly corrupt partnership made in hell- nothing of benefit will come from this marriage of narcissists. Time to stand up and fight. Our futures are on the line.

My latest: Mike Johnson and Republican elected officials are learning that their Faustian bargain for power now means they serve two masters: Donald Trump, a criminal, and Elon Musk, the richest man on Earth. thelefthook.substack.com/p/rep-mike-j...

Critical that media report the context: the President-elect is trying to deflect from his own crimes and failure to uphold his Oath of office. This is no time for asymmetric "balance" in reporting. Crimes and non-crimes are not equivalent.

Make no mistake — this isn’t about a poll. It’s a warning shot to all media & critics, esp. independent journalists & activists. He’s trying to sow widespread fear & exhaustion before he takes office bc he wants us to give up now. Build community, keep speaking out, & don’t obey in advance.

The greatest harm we can do to our kids education is not to teach them the truth. We handicap them and our future nation when we fail to be honest in history, in biology, in civics. We owe our kids the truth.

Did they publish the price list? I've had a hankering to go there myself and I'd develop quite an interest if the price for admission is right. Will PhDs also be for sale?

Musk and Trump are bullies. But they're going to have to play nice with each other to satisfy their own narcissistic needs(money/power).More drama to come from them to establish who is top dog. I'm already done with their alpha male cosplay but sadly we have years of this juvenile BS ahead.

Our society has lost all sense. Rational laws and policies seeking to balance and weigh competing rights are being replaced by ones adopting extreme positions. Everything is designed to enrage one half of the population and gin up the other half. There's no balance. We are on the slide to disaster.

This is an unbelievable abdication by Wray and makes it so much easier for Trump to install a corrupt leadership under Kash Patel and weaponize the FBI. Wray is doing a huge disservice to the FBI past, present, and future.
