Florida is allowing children to work work overnight on school nights. Why? The farm workers have either been deported or are afraid to show up for work.

Musk is rapidly pushing forward the privatization of space and satellite operations that have long been managed by the NOAA. DOGE has acquired confidential data from NOAA’s competitors—an alarming development that has further cemented SpaceX’s dominance in the space and satellite industry.

Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School, was detained at Logan Airport after returning from France and sent to an ICE detention in Louisiana, The Insider reports. A big critic of Putin and the war in Ukraine, she may now be deported to Russia.

A troubling pattern is emerging. As if Elon Musk didn’t already have enough power, he pressured Reddit’s CEO to censor content he didn’t like—pressure we hope Reddit will resist in the future.

SCOOP—State Dept. now requires "enhanced" social media vetting for student visa applicants suspected of "ties to terrorist orgs/activity" or applicants who previously held a visa starting Oct. 7th, 2023.

I'm really really sick of the orange turd's clown show!

Someone I grew up with (same age as one of my siblings) passed away last week. They've been battling leukemia for several years. While grieving this amazing human being gone too soon, I am furious that the regime is eliminating any work that might help people in similar situations in the future.

Absolutely devastating 😢

So the guy leading RFK Jr.'s vaccine-autism study? A total quack who was previously charged for practicing medicine without a license for using chemical castration drugs on autistic children.

Зустрівся з журналістами й розповів про перемовини української та американської делегацій у Саудівській Аравії і про домовленості, яких вдалося досягти. Дивтися: youtu.be/5qZjt4qdJOo

One thing that can get lost in all this is that Jeff Goldberg knows much, much more about national security than the principals who were on that text chain.

This.

Only the workers will suffer in the new world order

"In other words, in about eight weeks DOGE managed to lose the U.S. government — more or less light on fire — more than half of what goes to all non-defense discretionary spending." talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

My Kingdom and more for anyone to realize that awarding yourself a government contract is not a conflict of interest. It's corruption. When the bank teller takes the money out of the cash drawer and puts it in his pocket that's not a conflict of interest either.

If you’re out in public and you can’t figure out a stranger’s gender, follow these steps: 1. Don’t worry about it.

Signal? These Nat’l Security geniuses are using Signal?? My 11 year old grand kid can break into Signal - Imagine the fun China, North Korea & Russia are having. Trump claims no knowledge of the meeting & leak. So who is running things? Does he even understand?

After Trump inauguration, a senior scientist at NIH was to talk at a scientific meeting. An urgent call interrupted-there is a total communications ban, you cannot give the speech. Another ban prohibits researchers from submitting papers to journals for publication www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/h...

Exactly This! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 👇🏾👇🏼👇🏽👇🏿

The White House is soliciting corporate sponsors for this year’s Easter Egg Roll. Corruption in the name of Jesus www.cnn.com/2025/03/23/p...

Chinese Premier Li Qiang said the country is prepared for “shocks that exceed expectations” as the world braces for US President Donald Trump to announce more tariffs on its trading partners next month.

Welp, there goes the US defense industry.

Whoever is setting fires to Teslas please stop. It is just a matter of time before you kill someone like a passerby or firefighter. Please be patient - they will burn up by themslves.

the EO's language should frighten not only every american but every member of congress, every judge. opening the door to mass repression.

Bea Arthur joined the Marines in 1943. When she became famous she of course was put on the wall of famous marines. Since the current leadership hates women and minorities, it was scrubbed.

I checked numerous online resources and saw several news shows about the return of our astronauts. The entire media said their capsule landed in the Gulf of MEXICO. Dear Leader, nice try - no one likes your asinine idea

It's almost comedy at this point.

I am once again reminding academics that university endowments are not checking accounts. You can’t just make a withdrawal from an endowment and use the funds for whatever. There are laws and donors and market forces to deal with. I know it’s frustrating but fantasizing isn’t helping.

A great peice by @adamgreen321.bsky.social - real people are inflicting pain on other real people to transfer costs from the oligarchs to working Americans under the guise of “efficiency.” A good framing of what’s really going on. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

this stuff is happening across the country and even more intensively downstream of the veterans admin but it's happening in so many places at once and without any public notification that it's still only barely emerging in the news

"If Lutnick's Democratic predecessor, Gina Raimondo, took such a step -- urging Americans to buy stock in a company led by Joe Biden’s top campaign contributor -- it seems likely that more than a few congressional Republicans would call for her resignation..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

putin orders Ukrainians 'without legal status' to leave russia, occupied territories by Sept. 10👇

Apparently, these are the 7 lawmakers who will accept bribe from Musk - who will pay them for agreeing to expell all judges who rule against Trump

So, when is Australia going to offer safe haven work to all the highly skilled scientists & educators from #USA? #MAGAKing is sacking them, now is the time to get the best USA is throwing away.

Trump pardoned over 1500 J6 felons. He wants us to think he didn't use an autopen to sign these pardons. No one can lie ALL the time without knowing the actual truth.

Ffs America; get off your asses and do something about your lunatic president. Now he’s threatening special military ops in Canada and Mexico. Fentanyl is not a weapon of mass destruction and there’s more fentanyl coming into Canada from your country.

With everything happening in the US right now, how safe are scientific conferences for foreign participants in the US? I think this is something we have to discuss as a scientific community. I am hesitating to register for US meetings due to the unpredictable situation. Others who feel the same?

What horseshit from DOD that they "mistakenly" deleted pages on the Navajo Code Talkers, black Medal of Honor recipients, Jackie Robinson, and more. They labeled them DEI and deleted them and then got caught and now they're scrambling. Nobody changes a URL by mistake. Constant lies.

"For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose,"

oof!

"It has nothing to do with the controversies surrounding owner Elon Musk and his chaotic attempts to dismantle much of the federal government. Instead, the site simply isn’t getting anywhere near the engagement levels it once did..." www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/17/b...

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard. Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.
