Americans are in denial about the implications here because they wish it wasn't happening. But this is the behavior of a dictator. It's the sort of thing that warrants secession or revolution. The Republic is over the second federal funding is withheld pending a governor's personal apology.

It's always wrong to vandalize personal property and that certainly includes Teslas, and also: your government is actively disappearing innocent people without due process, so, you know, that second one is taking up my empathetic bandwidth at the moment.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

What do you call humans being kidnapped and sent to another country to be imprisoned in shackles and forced to perform intense physical labor while living in horrid conditions under the threat of daily physical violence and rape? Open a history book. You can do it. I believe in you.

The pro-Russia presidential candidate Călin Georgescu has been taken in for questioning by the police in relation to last November’s controversial canceled vote that he "won" in Romania. They are questioning him about his campaign finances. Did Elon Musk funnel money to him?

This guy literally declared himself Donald Trump’s personal attorney yesterday and now they are burying a crime by a Republican House member to protect the microscopic majority they cling to in Congress. Spare me the crying about the weaponization of the previous DOJ.

"The services cited concerns that participation in the predominantly Black event could run afoul of Trump's orders and the Pentagon's intensifying push to erase diversity efforts in the military." This sure sounds like the federal government saying any events for Black people are now banned.
