The allies defeated Hitler in no small part cos so many brilliant people fled Europe for the US. Fascist dictatorships inevitably create brain drains. Trump has just slashed funds for medical research. The best & brightest will leave. We should invite them here. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump is WRONG on USAID. Let me know if you agree. 💙

“Delete” the CFPB & IRS.  Abolish bank regulators.   Gut Social Security and Medicare. The Musk-Trump administration’s plots all boil down to the same thing: swindle working people, funnel money to the ultra-rich.

Two birds with one stone.

HAPPENING NOW: members of Congress led by @maxwellfrost.bsky.social are attempting to enter the Treasury Building to demand answers re: Musk’s unconstitutional money grab

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

This is Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll. Last Friday he refused Justice Department order to identify & assist in firing all agents involved in Jan. 6 riot cases, He is said to have pushed back forcefully. Thank you Brian Driscoll!🇺🇸

A hostile takeover of government by the richest man in the world.

Now we’re cooking! Thank you for doing something, @schatz.bsky.social. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

I work with one of the organizations funded by USAID. The freezing of funds will have tragic consequences for people in that part of the world, especially local women.

Trump has a tariff tantrum and the USA stock market crashes. Good one.

Trump throws a tariff tantrum and folks' superannuation investments dive. Wonder how that will go down in the US of A.

Antoinette Lattouf's case starts today. She should never have been dismissed. Very poorly managed by the ABC

NEW: WIRED has identified six young men—all apparently between the ages of 19 and 24, according to public databases, their online presences, and other records—who have little to no government experience and are now playing critical roles in Musk’s DOGE project. By @telliotter.bsky.social

If you are wondering how you would have acted in Germany in the early 1930s or in Austria in the late 1930s, you are doing it right now.

Then Elon Musk cancelled DEI and within 10 days 2 planes crash for the first time in 17 years.

Hey America, how's it going with President Musk?

At what point do we start calling what Elon Musk is doing inside our government a coup

Some thoughts on some of the responses we've seen to the firebombing of the Adass Israel Synagogue of Melbourne in Ripponlea.

WOW!! The number of @bsky.app users just hit the 30 MILLION milestone!! 👏 LETS KEEP GOING!

@bsky.app? Can this be done?

Who can’t spell correspondent 🤣🤣🤣🤣

A must read from our EO, @sarahschwartz.bsky.social Murdoch, we won’t let you silence our anti-racism work!

Insane shit indeed.

USA-style justice catches up with some.

I just read in @nytimes.com a punter comparing Trump's reign to the beginning of the Roaring Twenties. Well, we all know how that ended.

I'll second that.

Great article today by @davidswan.bsky.social about the experience of being targeted by Elon Musk. Unfortunately it's not in the online version of The Age and it should be. Not sure if non-subscribers will be able to open this.
