The United States appears to be in violation of the Budapest Memorandum which disarmed Ukraine of nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees. The agreement signed by the US in 1994 specifically prohibits economic coercion against Ukraine.

These people all have actual conflicts of interest that should keep them from working on any investigations like this. It's a measure of how tainted and corrupt this Justice Department is becoming and it breaks my heart. I hope it doesn't break our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A number of federal agencies, from HHS to the USDA, have laid off employees only to rescind those terminations days later. An expert says it "suggests something about mismanagement of government."

Great piece by @adamserwer.bsky.social. Reminder that this isn’t the first time the federal workforce has been resegregated: Woodrow Wilson’s 1913 order to impose Jim Crow rolled back almost half a century of progress that saw Black people working at every level of the federal government.

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be legislators right now. We need them to be politicians. There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

⚡️US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine won't sign minerals deal, sources tell Reuters. The U.S. first raised the prospect of shutting off Starlink after Zelensky rejected the deal presented on Feb. 12. Starlink terminals are critical in securing Ukraine's battlefield communications.

I've said often, based on history, that there's no reasonable expectation most people will be courageous in the face of fascism. Bravery is rare. It's valued for a reason: Most people aren't cut out for it, for reasons good and bad. But man, you'd still sorta hope the ABA woulda held the line.

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications.

In today's edition of 'how we are destroying the future of our children and nation', the USDA '1890 National Scholars Program' is suspended. This is a fellowship for low-income students at land-grant HBCUs to pursue studies in agriculture-related fields. #AcademicSky

I want to be clear: we NEED people who want to study these fields and are willing to return to rural areas to get their degrees. This is ESSENTIAL for productive farming- ag has expertise, and this will have ripple effects.

There is a planned protest today at Tesla Easton from 4:30 to 5:30. There is also a rally to support Ukraine at the Statehouse this afternoon, to commemorate the 3rd anniversary of the Russian invasion.

This will start with grad programs and as it crumbles hit BA programs and shrink enrollment. Today 1 in 3 US adults have a college degree. In 1940 it was 1 in 20. That’s the direction this is headed. #academicsky

You can feel it. You can see it. Pritzker, the town hall stuff. Right wing propaganda really did a number on people, wrt calling a fascist a fascist and a Nazi a Nazi. But that’s starting to lose its hold. And it’s having an effect.

So-called autism "advocates" now praising RFK Jr. are being super-disingenuous. Autism causation is not some niche research issue that has struggled to get funding! This research has been VERY well-funded historically. So, sorry, but this guy isn't going to come in with magic answers in 180 days.
