If you can read this behind the paywall, the details of what was allegedly said and done are shocking. Bullying, homophobia, sexism, some truly horrible comments made from one to another. What can lead a departmental culture to be this broken?

Obviously not the usual line, but don't envy Starmer, Macron etc going into the White House this week, because they know most of what Trump has said is lunacy, on economics and security, but also don't know what he really means, yet know how thin skinned he is. Hence, intelligence gathering...

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

So, let's hope you're not on maternity leave, or in a war zone, or in training, or at home with the flu, or just on holiday hiking up a mountain. Because Elon - an entirely unelected foreigner, with zero security clearance, who apparently now runs the US - will decide everyone's fate, every Monday.

This is Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine. He is Jewish. His grandfather fought Nazis in WW2. Many of his relatives were killed in the Holocaust. He is standing up to a dictator. Because he is brave. Because he knows what happens if you don't.

A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”

This is exactly how Hitler talked. It's not even a comparison or analogy, as people claim. It's a direct connection in ideology as well as a similar approach to governance and relationship to democracy. This needs to be how we talk about it. They are the ideological descendants of Hitler.

A former Soviet spy says that Trump was indeed recruited to the KGB 38 years ago by his department. He was given a codename, 'Krasnov'. We checked, and the source was indeed a KBG intelligence officer at the time. Read about it in my @bylinetimes.bsky.social report: bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science. Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics". Silence now is political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about". We need to sound the alarm. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
