As we predicted: Joe Kent is planning to use the law enforcement apparatus to imprison Black activists and antifascists as “terrorists,” essentially unleashing the far-right terrorists of the Proud Boys by looking the other way as they get the green light. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Our newest American hero. This man knows that Trump will come after him but did the right thing. What did Elon and DOGE do in that system that produced this spike??

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

I wrote a bunch of words trying to explain how economically incomprehensible the tariff stuff is. It explains how a 5th grader understands basic econ better than Trump and his economic advisors. www.techdirt.com/2025/04/03/t...

Today, all staff at the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) were placed on administrative leave, raising questions about how the agency will disperse congressionally appropriated funds to museums and libraries across the US. Just how much of the federal budget goes to IMLS? 0.0046%

JD Vance: “We have to honestly and aggressively attack the universities in this country. … The professors are the enemy,” Vance is the main enemy of the world-leading US sciences. Similarly, Hitler destroyed Germany's lead in sciences in 1933 & Germany never came back.

Transgenic means that genes from 1 organism have been put into another. We make transgenic mice to understand how genes influence biological processes. We make transgenic plants to make them more nutrient rich. We make transgenic bacteria so they make medicine for us. It's wide-ranging & v. useful.
