NASA and NOAA (used to) fund satellites that not only look at deep space but also our solar system, the Earth, and the solar wind, which all contribute to the development of crucial technology in the US. Stupid, stupid kneecapping www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/s...

Don’t forget, masks are OK to wear as long as you’re wearing one while rounding up undocumented people for detention centers that are profiting off of it all. 👍

NYT, Page One: “Within hours, he had an email from China, offering to move his lab to ‘any city, any university I want,’ he said, with a guarantee of funding for the next 20 years.” @nytimes.com

No more masked ICE agents. Unmask the terrorists.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Accurate.

Sorta like how the invention of vaults hurt the bank robbery business.

The world they’re trying to make rests on the assumption that there will never be a reckoning for what they’ve done. The present is bad; their imagined future is far worse.

The gerontocracy has consequences, episode one million and three.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

And when they've broken everything and made people's lives worse in dozens of different ways, the GOP response is going to be complaining that the government is broken and we need to try New Things instead. No, it was working. They broke it. Don't let them weasel out of responsibility.

It is right to do so, and it is each and every person's responsibility to do so.

Seems really bad. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Say it with your chest.

Did you know that when your local rural hospital shuts down because of the Medicaid cuts, the 75-mile drive to the nearest one that isn't shut down is still 75 miles no matter how good your insurance is?

It's remarkable how much of this administration's agenda has been laser focused on simply making life worse for ordinary Americans.

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

Concerning

He campaigned on doing both.

In Baltimore, you can die in police custody and they will chalk it up to "excited delirium," a phrase that is not a valid medical condition and has no basis in science www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/cr...

At least 27 are dead in Missouri in Kentucky after severe weather alerts were delayed overnight because of DOGE cuts. www.mesoscalenews.com/p/tornado-wa...

Exactly correct

Can confirm

Extremely corrupt, and very very bad.
