This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

What gets me is the cowardice of so many people here in the US who have the power to stand up to Trump, and don't. Case in point, NY Times burying the lede, barely even registering the existence of the lede.

🧵 Our mutual aid hub has been a HUGE draw for our immense volunteer base, many of whom have never wanted to be involved politics before now.

Turning campaigns into mutual aid hubs isn’t good for campaigns or mutual aid! Your campaign manager should be entirely too busy to schlep around 5600 tampons!

I always thought Plato was pretty pollyannaish on this point, but this is decent evidence for the view that a man of bad character will therefore be unhappy even with every external trapping of success and good fortune.
President Donald Trump gifted the world with nearly 200 Truth Social posts (and counting) on Christmas Day, where he amplified conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and called for a member of Congress to be deported.

To a lot of folks, free speech means getting to say what they want and getting to claim the moral high ground when others have the temerity to question it (a slight variant on the OP’s “they can say what they want and you can say what they want” version).

These are neo-Nazi domestic terrorists. They are enemy combatants in an occupying force. I don't know how I can say it any clearer. If we continue to let the new Wehrmacht go unchallenged we are all fucked.
