Today is a really good day to do something. Read the Constitution. Have a talk with a stranger about DOGE. Volunteer at a food bank. Be kind to people. Whatever you do, don’t just throw your hands up in the air & assume Trump gets away with it all. We are still a rule of law country. Insist on it.

The work being done for the American people is beginning to suffer due to workforce reductions. Now, those still on the job are being compressed into tighter work spaces as the Trump administration voids lease agreements. More cuts are coming.

As federal research grants continue to be frozen, and NIH staff is being gutted, please note this study was funded by federal research grants, including from NIH. If they continue with staff cuts, and continue to freeze new awards, this is just one example of what we lose.

the theory that posting on X 24/7 instead of running several billion-dollar companies and adequately co-parenting 13 children indicates "exceptionally high or genius-level intelligence" is ridiculous and absurd

This is a periodic reminder that your Social Security monies were your compensation, your wages. You earned it. It’s yours. The government is just holding onto it for you. It was never theirs to keep.

I asked, given the league’s history with abuse, what made this hire appropriate? A: It becomes about seeing the potential of what somebody can be. The world that we’ve all traveled through in terms of the NWSL over the last 3 to 5 years, I can completely empathize with why this would be a question.

Part of the problem with reporting on illegal funding (and job) cuts is that the headlines usually are too abstract, e.g. “Trump freezes $X billion from the NIH’s budget” instead of “Trump defunds cancer research”. People have very little sense of the scale of these agencies but like their work.

PLEASE mask (well-fitted KN95 or N95). If you don't care about the risk to yourself, at least care about the people you're bringing germs to during your travels. I know so so many people who've gotten sick (covid, flu, etc) after recent trips and it's preventable with a simple mask.

Your regular reminder that §230 protects YOU, the person reading this post, from being sued for reposting things just as much as it protects "Big Tech" from things that still wouldn't be a viable cause of action because your problem is not with §230, it's with the first amendment

An important reminder, since people are wrongly freaking out: Small private planes crash all the time. The Philly crash, the Alaska crash, this one — all count as such. There are 1,000 small plane crashes a year. This is normal. Them making headlines is what is scaring you.

Ornithological societies partnered years ago to build affinity “flocks” to support members of diverse identities (race, ethnicity, disability, career stage, etc.), based in part on the 2SLGBTQIA+ affinity group I currently lead. The NSF funding is no longer an option so they’re crowd-sourcing:
