Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

“American students are looking to institutions overseas.” Making America Weak As can be, to sell out our government to corrupt oligarchs. The MAWA agenda is meant only to enrich Musk and Trump — to let them steal from you. Every Republican in Congress supports Musk. apnews.com/young-sci... #NIH

Trump cuts tax dollars to schools and libraries. But he spends tax dollars on golf at courses he owns.

Illegal abduction is quickly becoming the hallmark of this administration. We need not call it fascism because it isn’t necessary to be redundant, here. It is defined by the actions. You are what you do. #Fascism

Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.

Wow, this seems like something the USDA Inspector General should be reporting on...oh

New from PP: The Trump admin abandoned cleanup of an Agent Orange site in Vietnam. A place we poisoned. Trump admin won't pay the bills . “Halting a project like that in the middle of the work, that’s an environmental crime,” said one expert. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Meanwhile over on X….

Uh...

New, from me: Trump is whitewashing American history, removing not just people, but also the stories, images, and values to anyone who does not conform to his impoverished vision of America. Here is a partial inventory. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whitewashi...

ICE is not accounting for the whereabouts of dozens of detainees from New Mexico

And this is why I never bought one of those gadgets. What sucks is that these devices have tremendous value for people with disabilities. Voice commands and touchless automation are so helpful for people with mobility issues. Restricting their ability to protect their privacy is unconscionable.

The expanded financial aid plan will also offer free tuition to families that make $200,000 or less. The move comes after affirmative action was barred from the admissions process.

“Chief of security Colin O’Brien said police on Monday helped DOGE members enter the building and that the private security team for the organization had its contract canceled.”

y’all want to guess the demographic who’ll be most hurt by some system a 19 year old thinks is intuitive

“The Trump administration has canceled funding for an ongoing 30-year, nationwide study tracking patients with prediabetes and diabetes, researchers said, at a time when top officials have emphasized their determination to curb the incidence of such chronic conditions.”

The reason that we have due process is that the authoritarians who don't care about that type of stuff are also not especially picky about targeting the "right" people.

I guess those of us in Arizona should just embrace the elderly life as of now.

They are going to make it harder for the scientists to stop, or even record, what comes next.

WOW. Over the weekend representatives of the FBI and the US Attorney’s Office approached members of USIP staff and other workers to try to intimidate their way into getting into the building. Two FBI officers visited the home of one of the independent agency’s contracted security guards.

This guy gets it

The country claims Smith & Wesson and other gunmakers are turning a blind eye to hundreds of thousands of high-powered weapons made in the U.S that are illegally trafficked into in the hands of Mexican cartels.

They demanded staff return to work in person and now they're terminating office leases so they can't. It was never about efficiency; it was always about manipulation.

If a Democrat said this it would be the single biggest scandal of the year and the person would be out of politics by the end of the week

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us. That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

Mexico is accusing the gunmakers of aiding and abetting the gushing pipeline of military-style weapons from the U.S. to Mexican cartels.

Commerce Secretary Lutnick suggests Trump could compromise on Canada, Mexico duties

75% of Americans oppose cutting funding for scientific research on cancer; only 12% are in favor of doing so. ygo-assets-websites-editorial-emea.yougov.net/documents/Po...

Regardless your specific view on this, consider what it means for the Trump/Vance administration to halt aid to Ukraine, but then in the same week rush $4 billion more to Israel as it blocks all aid into Gaza

It seems like the cultists believe there’s a legal argument to be made that Trump can have a third term because Jan 6th interrupted his first one. They also now believe the insurrection was an antifa/FBI op. It almost makes… too much sense

The US Air Force is removing training courses with footage and mentions of black and female combat pilots in accordance with the Trump administration’s crackdown on DEI. DEI = Anytime there’s not only white men Meritocracy = When it’s only white men. Tis the age of fragile conservative man-boys…

If you want to destroy public confidence in an institution so that you can eventually privatize it, start by understaffing and underfunding it. See the Republican’s multi-generational assault on public education. Anyways, say goodbye to national parks as you’ve known them.

How it started… and how it’s going:

Former Israeli defense minister talking to Chanel 12 about the Hannibal Directive being employed on Oct 7th. Anyone who’s ever done a battle damage assessment knows that Apaches hit the car lot at the Nova Music Festival, but maybe now people will start to take it seriously.

I highly recommend that people shift to a credit union or local bank if you have not already done so. Corporate banks are precisely corporations whose sole function purpose is to profit off of you. They do not exist to help you with anything whatsoever. Move your money.

PBS has removed a series of videos about LGBTQ history from its website for educators, under pressure from presidential executive orders—but the videos, aimed at middle and high school students, have found a new home. Learn how you can watch them: #LGBTQ #LGBTQhistory mombian.com/2025/03/03/w...

Murphy: Veterans can't get appointments for 6 to 8 months. Problem: The VA is severely understaffed GOP solution: Freeze funds to 875 programs for vets including cancer care, PTSD outreach, homeless veterans programs and dismissing more than 1000 employees (including veterans)

complaining about "the far left" is such loser energy. oh no, not the people who want everyone to have human rights!!!!

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

BREAKING: Two sources tell @theprospect.bsky.social that the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration has asked for a plan for cuts to 50% of the workforce, including at the 1,200 field offices that serve millions of beneficiaries. prospect.org/health/socia...
