This was Charles Houston's attitude. And he (and his disciples such as Thurgood Marshall) are the reason desegregation happened.

"I think there's real risk of a generation or more of data being lost." - Dr. Michael Greicius, neurology professor at Stanford University, on the damage Trump's cuts to NIH research will do to progress on a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, adding as much as 20 years to the timeline.

Keep shaming them for this. I don't mean Musk, Bannon and the other turds doing the Sieg Heil very openly and purposely (we know they are Nazis). I mean the GOP members who people elect. They should not be able to get away with it and they should not be normalizing this. We know what comes next.

I can tell you this: Ron Wyden actually cares about Medicaid and the people who rely on it. He and his staff have been fighting to protect Medicaid. The Senate Republican majority look like they're going to force the kind of cuts that will kill tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of Americans.

I was the Commander of the @ISS when Andy, @Astro_Andreas flew his first space mission. He is one of the most competent, trustworthy, and honest people I’ve ever met. This rhetoric is beyond the pale but, sadly, not surprising. He does not deserve this kind of disrespect.

And to think just four days ago, after lecturing the Europeans on free speech, JD Vance was in my Twitter replies lecturing me about free speech too. Oh the shamelessness! This is who they are:

The National Science Foundation fired all its experts. The National Science Foundation. Fired. All of its. Experts. And they weren't even told to! The leadership worked toward the Fuhrer and went beyond the cuts demanded of them in anticipation of many, many more firings—up to half its staff.

NEW: Last year, @johnnyryan.bsky.social made a website for a fake company using a photo of Russian soldiers to purposely elicit suspicion. A US data broker offered him access to thousands of lists of American devices anyway. Many lists targeted US leaders and defense contractors. Our latest:

Right wing anti-DEI propaganda bullshit is literally killing people. The bigotry of the right, the hatred they’ve harnessed to blind a SIGNIFICANT portion of this country IS. KILLING. PEOPLE. The GOP’s hands will never be clean and if you voted for this vile regime neither will yours.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.
