If Trump pardons Chauvin, Chauvin is still doing 22.5 years for the State of Minnesota Department of Corrections. If Trump pardons Chauvin, consider it a cheap provocation, designed to give him an excuse to abuse peaceful protesters.

Proud to be a Minnesotan.
Trump and Republicans set this up as an unprecedented power grab so they can slash and burn government services on their terms.

Who won the Trump/Vance/Zelensky Oval Office shouting match? We asked three Russian bots in an X comment thread.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired. Please amplify. (This helps the lawyers establish standing for bringing legal cases against the administration!)

hello cis friends
this is what people mean by trans genocide
if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported
this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order
it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

My take on the brackets is that we are on a scale of 1-5 instead of 1-10. Ok. Whatever.
As someone with 200+ decks to track, the new “list” is worse. I don’t have time for a banned list AND a “game changers” list that everyone can now argue about. I’ll just say I’m a 4, even if I’m a 1. Ugh.

That halftime show was clearly not for my demographic but I admire how well it was done and I got the staging and choreography just fine. Watched the whole thing with a grin. Bravo. Takes guts. And that’s what real art has always been about.

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

For a long time, I’ve tried to explain to fellow Americans how unhelpful + dangerous it is to mock career civil servants on the basis of fashionable cynicism. Now these servants are in crosshairs and their functions seized by unaccountable goons. Enjoy your “efficient” private sector rule, I guess.
If this were happening somewhere else, folks would be saying this is the kind of thing that happens in a coup. www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...
Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say
Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

Of course, alternative facts and bs theories thrive in an environment that is anti-science and anti-scientist.
I'm not sure how much people outside the science world understand what this means.
NSF grants and fellowships are *extremely* competitive. These were already funded. It's not just new stuff being put on pause; awards already made have been frozen.

Another rejects pardon.
When he mentioned his husband I was angry in Queer. Then when he mentioned he's a recovering alcoholic who wasn't recovering at that time, I went 'Ohhhh'.
It's a good read.
And for the repentant, this is how you atone. You speak up and out.
