Still thinking about the time my friend's dad (very religious, Christian/Mormon) said he wants to put all the homosexuals on an island and blow them up. In a, what radicalized you context.

Statement from the Musk-appointed head of SSA celebrating the deletion of research grants studying the financial security of the older adults and the disabled. Just one way that the richest man in the world is dictating societal priorities. www.ssa.gov/news/press/r...

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

So we finally got an actual $ for Wyoming's immediate, yearly budget reduction from 15% NIH f&a and it's 2.2 million a year. That's not accounting for the fact that NIH, NIA, NSF grants, etc aren't being reviewed. We won't be able to fund grads. We wont receive funds to do outreach w/ the state.

Wyoming votes against their own interests example 101: my colleague worked on a grant (resources for older adults with dementia in Wyoming) for months, & then due to Trump's EOs, the funding mechanism was pulled. Hundreds of thousands of potential $ for Wyoming older adults gone.

It is very sad to see Wyoming Republicans, who think they are SO smart, but are just cruel and callous, pull this meme on the people of Wyoming

The only real underlying principle of Republican politics today is that they hate. *HATE* helping people. Freedom Caucus in WY added an amendment to an affordable housing bill to make it so local gov can't implement incentives to build affordable housing projects. So now it's just useless.

The temptation is strong to dunk on GOP officeholders finally repudiating Trump at this late stage. But this is what we need if we're going to salvage American democracy. And lots of it.

In a hearing at the Wyoming Senate a person giving testimony called the chairperson "madam chairperson" and he said, "my preferred pronoun is chairman" and she replied, well based on prior bill SF77, which you just voted for, you cannot compel me to use your preferred pronouns. Lmaooooooo.

There is a Wyoming gay™️ mystery I've been trying to solve for months, and it's this graffiti around town that says, "queer." I am obsessed, I have a ton of photos. I've been trying to figure out if I know this person. And today my husband met someone who, on their person, had this graffiti...

I will say this now, gently. A lot of very well intentioned academics are like "hey if you just got fired from the federal government I have a position available" and it's almost always a temporary/post-doc position... These people want and need real, permanent jobs.

Someone needs to do a study on Americans rooting for Canada. "Ah yes please rename your beverages to Canadianos." "Oh you guys are boycotting our products and are going to tank some of our industries? Great we deserve it."

I love that they are like "you called him a 'dick' and that made Musk --who is not a government official for FOIA but is a government official in the way we can sue you-- very sad"

And so it begins... RFK Jr. prepares shake-up of vaccine advisers. ACIP's members are vetted for COIs & req'd to file regular disclosure reports." “We will remove COIs...whenever possible or balance them w/ other stakeholders." Just imagine the latter. Gateway to appointing non-experts and kooks.
