Read it. This is the chaos rolling out across the US. "The paranoia and fear are part of the erosion... The agency changing your personnel status... The idea that there’s a list going around of people on probation. Am I on the list? Are you on the list? That’s a straight-up McCarthy-era question."

The Nazis are here. The Republican party has embraced them. Those 90 million who didn't vote? Make sure they know what they've done.

News results show only Spanish language press reporting on Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui giving a Hitler salute at #CPAC, the second Nazi salute at the pro-Trump conference featuring Republican officials, following Steve Bannon. Trump is speaking at CPAC today. Why isn't this a major story?

I'm particularly concerned about young researchers and the consequences for science if they lack proper support. We must advocate for strong science funding to keep the U.S. at the forefront of global innovation. In their terms, this drives prosperity. #scicomm 🧪 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Step up home of the brave. "One of the diplomats said the perception among European colleagues was that the U.S. was surrendering to Russia. He said 110 countries were lined up to back the Ukrainian resolution in the General Assembly, which would be a clear majority." www.wsj.com/world/europe...

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Remember when Musk gave a Nazi salute? Yeah, that was crazy. I expected more pushback to that. But Republicans are cool with Nazis now, and Democrats have no power, so...

President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring that the United States recognizes “two sexes, male and female” — but according to experts and a significant body of academic research, the definitions he used are oversimplified and inaccurate.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Ralph Nader is why. One person made that difference happen. You probably know him for the blame heaped upon them for the first Republican Putsch of 2001. Rarely are they given credit for even a tiny fraction of what they've done. todayincthistory.com/2020/02/27/f...

If you get caught throwing up a Nazi salute, you should be shipped to Guantanamo Bay, not defended by GOP supporters.

I am normally not so acidic. But a Trumper on facebook was whining that he is losing his family biz over some formerly granted loans that now are being cut. Looking at his profile, he is a raging racist and transphobe. So I wrote: "You wanted him - there you have him... now have fun, buddy!"
