One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

And they’ll grant them to the funding-hungry, comply-in-advance weaklings happy to create “studies” to prove that, as Darren Beattie, new State Department public diplomacy and public affairs secretary, wrote last October: “Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work.”

🚨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.

A friend asked me about the potential risk of losing public broadcasting funding. If you're interested, I recommend this comprehensive report from "On The Media," which explains what's always saved CPB funding in the past, and why it might not now.

The White House has to "check back" about whether or not they just shut off the program that funds health care for 2 million Arizonans?
I can tell you the answer: Arizona's Medicaid payment portal has been turned off.
This is absurd.

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
