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...

I am trying to imagine the reaction of Joe Biden or Barack Obama had spoken to a Republican governor in this way at a public event. I just can’t. None of us can.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC. You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself. It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research. Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

Hunter Schafer was ‘shocked’ that her new passport lists her gender as male, following President Donald Trump’s new gender policies. ‘I’m never gonna stop being trans, a letter on a passport can’t change that, and fuck this administration,’ she said.

Always a head-scratcher when someone says they think Trump has any “business acumen”… And to use that as a basis to vote him into office a second time is like sticking your finger into the socket…a second time.
