This is huge and monstrous. The nasal vaccines are our only hope of getting back to a world where you don't have to fear getting covid indoors. I would like to stop masking some day, and they're going to make it impossible.

The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable. University presidents need to be speaking out, collectively & loudly about this, in DC, right now.

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.

Recurring demands by Trump for Canada to surrender its sovereignty and be annexed by the U.S. belie the (rather weak) claim that these tariffs have anything to do with border security or fentanyl. They are an unprovoked war of aggression by economic means.

If you work for the oligarchy, your job is to create friction. Everywhere. Wear down the machine and break it. If you're in a safe position to do so, and it won't harm vulnerable people, do your job poorly. Slow down. Make "mistakes." www.404media.co/declassified...

Anyone who takes a loyalty oath to Trump should be prevented from ever holding a position of trust in the federal government. It’s absolutely disqualifying.

The story of this first week is corruption. Billionaires seated on the inaugural stage in front of the cabinet, crypto pump and dump, and the illegal firing of IGs. The media is acting like this is too chaotic and bewildering to interpret, but they are just afraid of sounding shrill. It’s corrupt.

Trump is offended by her tone of empathy. He is allergic to compassion. He is also a massive fucking snowflake. Imagine crying over a bishop preaching about love and mercy.
