We are arms dealers to terrorists.

FFS New York Times. They’re not *his generals. Unbelievable

Winston Churchill, on "peace talks" with dictators:

The presidents of all universities should hold a press conference together at the National Press Club in Washington DC condemning the attacks on science and universities and outline the stakes for all Americans. 1/

Where are the Democrats but also Where are the churches Where are the celebrities Where are the NGOs Where are the Universities Where are professional groups like AMA Where are the athletes Where are the unions What people/groups do and don’t do for next month determines our collective future

You don't fire Judge Advocates General unless you plan on issuing unlawful orders. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

When taking actions late on a Friday night, a government sends a message its trying to pull one over on the public and the media, that it is hiding something or doing something it believes it should not do or will be seen as controversial. That is certainly true in this case.

yooo I was just cited in a federal opinion & I'm ecstatic! I argued that the Supreme Court's originalist guns jurisprudence is asinine so lower court judges don't know how to apply it, & in footnote 17 this judge is like YEAH lmao www.scribd.com/document/823... ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/secon...

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation. "The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]." This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

"your health care coverage for Elon’s tax cuts. That is the fundamental fulcrum on which the next two years of American history — and quite possibly many years into the future — will turn." talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/infle...

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Enjoy your feel good photo of the day. I mean, YOU enjoy this. Clearly the bear is enjoying it. The orange thing on the bottom looks miserable. Also, both hands and arm muscles are way too big and NOT to scale.

📣 Attention terminated CDC employees! "I was a fed" on Instagram shares stories of affected federal employees. We want to amplify CDC voices too (anonymously)! Our platform reaches ~100K. 📣 Send your story to our tip line. Let's help people understand the impact. #SeeCDC #fedstrong

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Disappointing. I expected, or at least hoped for, better from Cornell. view.m.cornell.edu?qs=9840c04ba...

If you’re going to force me to look at Nazi salutes by using them as the images for the articles you publish, have the fucking decency to call it what it is. Provocative gesture? Literally what the fuck is wrong with you.

Put this on blast.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

What’s happening is a generational wound

Something to remind you It's a world worth saving

Now why do you think it is that DOJ dismissed charges against SpaceX WITH prejudice but Emil Bove plans to hold charges over Eric Adams' head for almost four more years? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

My warmest greetings go out to the wonderful people who built their careers sniffing out “Ukrainian Nazis” under every stone in Ukraine for tasty headlines that fueled Russian war propaganda on this-is-why-Ukraine-must-be-dealt-with, only to get Nazi salutes normalized in their own country.

How we did it: Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did

More of this. Do not give in.

You can tell Nancy Mace stopped paying attention to biology after the first month of 5th grade because 1 in 500 people born with male phenotypes have XXY chromosomes and 1 in 20K born as “biological males” actually have XX chromosomes. Even “biological sex” isn’t actually binary anywhere in nature.

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

RFK Jr is working to undermine all government support for vaccines. He wants power and America’s children (and immunocompromised) will pay the price.

More from the Boston Rally for Healthcare, Research and Jobs. Labor stands with science; science stands with labor.

New EO (link below) orders HHS to terminate the Secretary’s Advisory Committee on Long COVID (section 2iv). Share widely on all platforms. This is a perfect example of how this administration does not care about Americans. If this is efficiency, then what IS Trump's plan for people with Long COVID?

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

You know this is 100% going to happen…

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...
