People with doctorates are the most liberal and progressive. The entire mission of destroying academia is to eliminate entire voting demographics. They explicitly spell this out. Shutting down PhD programs isn't an accident, it's the goal.

"Canadian mystery writer Louise Penny pulled the plug on her scheduled appearance, writing on Facebook, 'In DC, but in the wake of Trump taking over, I have pulled out. It was, of course, going to be a career highlight. But there are things far more important than that.'" 💙

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

It is as we feared. And the babies were killed brutally by hand, then things were done too gruesome for anything but that word to inspire nightmares. The heartbreak... As a mother, I'd rather be in whatever afterlife or scattered to stardust like Shiri if that was what I'd have after years captive.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

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."

Every win matters. "The memo addressed only temporary seasonal employees. It said nothing about the roughly 1,000 members of the National Park Service’s permanent workforce who were fired Friday. They were included in the administration’s multiagency purge of tens of thousands of employees."

Ringed Galaxies are rare (~1 in 10,000). Before this image was captured, we never had seen a galaxy with more than 3 rings. This recent image of Galaxy LEDA 1313424 (dubbed the 'Bullseye Galaxy') shows 9 or maybe 10 rings. (Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Imad Pasha [Yale], and Pieter van Dokkum [Yale])

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Sugar glider babies are crawling in my hair and snuggling in my sweatshirt. It's a fabulous moment of peace. 😀 They're getting so big, we won't be able to call them babies in a week or two. We had to find a new way to distinguish the twins - they grew out of old tricks. #sugargliders #exoticpets
