“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

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...

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

Somebody alert Chuck Grassley. Not only are there insane drug addicts at the highest level of our government doing unconstitutional things, but also the History channel has some relevant history. Maybe Chuckles can do some oversight along the lines of the government credit card hearings.

All these new polls showing majorities disapproving of Trump, and Elon Musk faring even worse, really undermine one of the dumber narratives of the moment: That "disruption" is automatically good for Trump. Check out my exchange with @juliaazari.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/1917...

I was only thinking about this recently. The support that people like Chester Beatty and Guggenheim gave to artists and historians was rooted in a curiosity about the world and a respect for hard work. These overgrown fratboys think work is something other people do for them.

What makes the current crop of rich people in this country so intolerable is that they could easily bail this institute out–and who doesn't like dinosaurs–and gain some popularity. But they are so greedy, they just won't help anyone but themselves. www.science.org/content/arti...

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), a physician, is sounding the alarm over a massive measles outbreak in neighboring Texas. Cassidy fucked around and voted to confirm anti-vaxxer RFK Jr as head of HHS. Now Louisianans, and all Americans, get to find out about deadly outbreaks of containable diseases.

Americans HATED Jan. 6. That the political opposition wasn't able to harness that and turn it into a lasting defeat of Trumpism will be one of the defining stories of the 2020s, if not the century.

Gift link. The actual story of the shackled people being deported without even being told where they were being taken — maybe to countries where they’d face torture or death — while their terrified children cried.😢 The White House posted that pic with “ASMR” tag. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

This is like Senators asking for Trump to release funding for their pet projects. When you campaigned for a personalist presidency you have turned yourself into a beggar seeking the King’s favor rather than a citizen who can be confident of equal treatment for all.
