It happens every few generations: It’s what drove Confederate oligarchs to attempt succession in the 1860s; robber barons to murder union organizers at the turn of the 20th century; and it’s why wages have stagnated since the Reagan revolution. The rise of greedy oligarchs. https://trib.al/f8tpkYv

Trump's eruption at Leonard Leo is deranged but the really bad part is where Trump basically says straight out that he should be allowed to disregard Congress when he decrees there's an emergency. He's laying the whole tyrant thing bare. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1959...

Have seen a lot of Harvard commencements. Usually the Harvard prez is greeted by brief pro-forma applause. Or nothing. Or in my era, waves of protests and boos. Never heard of *anything* like the sustained standing ovation Alan Garber got today. Deserved. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiT0...

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

"We as members of a global community have been duped by an Israeli madman desperate to stay in power at ANY COST. He has presided over acts of barbarism so egregious that the International Criminal Court has based on substantive evidence, indicted him as a war criminal."

It would be nice if there were more support groups for what’s happening to scientists right now. I don’t need more information firehose or more suggestions for ways to take action; I’m set on both. I just want to talk to other new PI’s about how hard it is right now
