The US once benefitted from autocrats chasing away scientists and academics from Europe, now somewhere else will benefit from autocrats doing the same thing in the US. Shame.

Donald Trump promised to lower food prices. Instead, he fired the experts in charge of containing the bird flu. Yep – the same bird flu that’s part of the reason egg prices are surging.

Apparently, the 6 figure salaries they're getting as gov't employees is "a small fraction." Am I the only one or does that seem to suggest that private companies are far less efficient, and gov't is MORE efficient if they can get the same "value" for less cost? (I'd argue these guys aren't a value)

NEW: I helped Brian Krebs trace the background of one of Elon Musk's top loyalists, Branden Spikes, head of IT at X, who spent 2 mo at DOGE. Spikes and his ex-wife were involved with Russian diaspora websites and groups linked to pro-Kremlin KSORS players, Russian state media while he was at SpaceX.

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

I love this photo that @melissabender.bsky.social captured of me at the #standupforscience rally yesterday in NYC. I wonder if I could make this my official faculty photo lol @jackiantonovich.bsky.social @kimberlywheiman.bsky.social @archaeoscape.bsky.social @sarahruncie.bsky.social

Next SOU, the Dems should sneak in bluetooth speakers and just play recordings of GOP yells of "You lie!" "Liar!" and, if they can find appropriate times, "You put them there!" Keep switching which speaker is playing (with many hidden on the GOP side) and watch Trump fume at his own party's words.

Bluesky, why can't we delete a post? I saw a post on the War in Ukraine that had info I didn't know, so I went to repost it. As I did so, I noted the 'quote' option said something like it was disabled. Seconds later, I thought that could mean it was BS, but I can't delete it to prevent misinfo

This is such a core concept of our democratic system of government. They are our REPRESENTATIVES, not our leaders, not the people who tell US what to do. If they can't handle people saying "Your decisions are wrong," then quit the job.

Musk is starting his own payment system, but is trying to axe the fed dept that would prevent him from scamming consumers, and the Senate is trying to pass a bill that'll make it impossible for the CFPB to stop fraud. MAGA, are you going to actually admit you're pro-fraud now?

Remember when the GOP used to advocate for small government because they didn't want the government stomping on constitutional rights? Now they want small gov't because they don't want the gov't busting them for cheating on their taxes, breaking environmental laws, and otherwise bothering the rich.

There's an estimated $500 BILLION to $1 TRILLION a year lost to tax cheats. It's not illegal immigrants or union workers or protestors that are cheating that much, it's the rich. Trump's daddy illegally gave $400 million to Trump avoiding the taxes he owed (then around $160 million).

This is more consolidation of power, giving it all to one person. Even if you're a Trump supporter, imagine how you'd feel if it were Biden doing this. Remember, at some point, a Democrat will be in the Oval Office (unless we stop being a democracy). Do you trust a Democrat with that much power?

We PROMISED to protect Ukraine (as did Russia) in exchange for them giving up their nuclear weapons. Trump can break all of his own promises (as he does), but he should not be able to make us a nation of oath breakers.

Missouri has been running the pilot for Project 2025 for a couple of decades. With a GOP Supermajority, over 30% of our schools are on a four-day week. We fund vouchers for private religious schools. Our starting teachers are 50th in the nation for pay and they pay for their own supplies.

DOGE has seized access to huge troves of sensitive personal and national security information – and can’t even set up its own website securely. When DOGE fails to protect that data, it puts us all in danger. @repstansbury.bsky.social, @connolly.house.gov and I are pushing back.

If you want to know how to contact her, here's her contact page www.murkowski.senate.gov/contact She does say she only replies to Alaska residents, but if you happen to be staying (at some point in time past or future) at an Alaskan hotel or AirBnB, I'd say that qualifies.
