Incredibly close to shaving my head a’la Britney Spears 2007.
A few years ago I went to a palm reader. He said if you make it through your 50s you will live a long life.
I am 53. I thought I might be in the clear after surviving the pandemic. But now?
I was worried about dying due to illness not possibly dying to save democracy.

“It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more.
This is pure BS.”

I honestly feel like the agenda of this oligarchy is to see how many people that it can remove from this earth.

My great fear is that, to the average semi-connected US news consumer, the last few weeks just looks like "Trump does a bunch of bold, decisive stuff that leaves his critics running around & squawking."

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

How are y'all dealing with the cognitive dissonance of much of your daily life continuing as normal right now even as really really really bad shit is happening in government (that will certainly have ripple effects that will reach us all)? Because I'm honestly feeling a little insane right now.

Elon Musk is NOT an elected official.
DOGE is NOT a congressionally approved department in our government.
We must call this what it is: A far-right oligarch trying to seize control of our government.
