To recap, Trump: -Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence -Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers -Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee -Blamed the DCA crash on DEI This is disastrous leadership.

We used to all hold our breath hoping a shooter wasn’t a Muslim or a trans person. Now we gotta worry if the air traffic controller was Black?! Do you see how far they have moved the window?

“If the freeze is not stopped, I might lose my house." Some NSF-funded postdocs are having trouble paying rent and credit card bills because their salaries were paused this week, even though the federal funding freeze memo was rescinded. www.statnews.com/2025/01/30/t...

If you think wild fires are caused by a Jewish Space Laser, natural disasters are caused by wokeness, and Haitian immigrants are eating people’s pets, DEI causes plane crashes sounds like a logical conclusion.

It's not "as bad as" I thought it would be. It's SO MUCH WORSE THAN I thought it would be. And it's only been a week.

It is clear that the rule of law is dead in the USA. A twice convicted felon is in the White House, and he's pardoned all of his co-conspirators and adherent thugs.

Melania's life isn't that exciting. She was a girl with dreams of modeling who ended up moonlighting in prostitution and got shopped to a john, married for his money, had his baby while he was cheating on her with a porn star, blah blah blah. It's not worth a movie.

And yet, Trump (a billionaire) and his (billionaire) cronies managed to get the votes of many of that bottom half. That what happens when public education is underfunded and attacked for 45 years.

The Bald Eagle is the perfect metaphor for the USA. A bird that's second in power to its cousin the Golden Eagle (a more powerful hunter on land), and that is known for stealing meals from its more distant cousin the Osprey (which is more adept at fishing). www.nytimes.com/2024/12/26/u...

To the “high road” Democratic leaders who say Biden should pardon Trump, knock it off. What the hell kind of a message do you think that would send? We need to fight autocracy, not flirt with it.

"Donald Trump wants to dismantle the entire thing. He wants to gut federal agencies of their expertise, impose tariffs, de-commit from NATO, and cozy up to dictators abroad. He sees the "American Century" as an enemy to be defeated." www.electoral-vote.com/evp2024/Item...

The answer is yes. It can happen here - especially with Trump in the White House, a GOP-led Congress that's spineless, and a SCOTUS that kowtows to his every whim. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is a good point. We do need to make government work better, and more importantly, faster. It currently takes 8 months for NY Department of Education to review proposed school renovations. I'm sure that could be done better and faster without sacrificing oversight to ensure safety for kids.

Yeah! We could call them the NIH (National Institutes of Health) and CDC (Centers for Disease Control) and FDA and OSHA, and EPA and... But of course, MAGA wants to tear it all down, because their pundits told them they'll get rich if we stop regulating clean air and water...
