A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants. #IDsky #Medsky #Episky www.science.org/content/arti...

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Imagine watching tens of thousands indiscriminately lose their jobs, while everything from pediatric cancer trials to Alzheimer’s research to veterans programs are eliminated, but you’re okay with it because a lying felon said he’s “considering the idea” of sending you a check for five grand. 1/2

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

Looks like ALL the men who are on board with the Heritage Foundation Project 2025 are men who have deep set hatred for all females. This is a vicious attack on ALL women by men who need some serious therapy.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

Besides the bad faith and epic corruption evidenced by the letter to @robertgarcia.bsky.social from this Trump waterboy, it is “whom you call a dick,” not “who you call a dick.” Grammar counts, you unctuous toady of the wannabe mob boss WHOM you serve.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

I mean this. When Shillace’s book comes available, everyone should read it. One of the most incredible histories of the rise of fascism in Germany and the trans people who lived there. The stories are incredible and the things she uncovered are indispensable.

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...
