When Republicans take power do they expand "viewpoint diversity"? No. They purge scientists, delete data and promote their own mediocre minds. If you support Trump you are signaling membership in a movement that *hates* science, science is not obligated to pretend otherwise.

Well said.
The call for 'view point diversity' is just a smoke screen for ejecting and rejecting all the work done on racism, sexism, homophobia etc.
If they truly believed in VPD they would be welcoming people from across the world to share their view points.

This is a science communication problem. People really think that space tourism will lead to colonizing the moon and mars and they don't understand how a lack of magnetic fields and atmospheres affect the possibility of that. Just no conception of engineering timelines, material costs, reality...

Any democrats who are happily letting the tariffs happen are missing the fact that this is clearly another gigantic power grab by Trump.

He will extort every country in order to make them plead fealty to his regime and suppress any anti-Trump messaging.

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful:

- Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored

- Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored

- Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.

We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

OK, gonna throw this spicy bomb out there.

If you're fortunate enough to have disposable income, then right now it is your duty to use that income wisely. You have agency over how you spend it and you should own how you spend it.

Your decisions do, in fact, affect stock prices of big corporations.

Oscars 2025. What's the explanation? What does it all mean?

As an industry professional with special insight, he's my take:

Academy members voted for their favorite nominees, and the ones with the most votes won.

Sorry if this was too inside baseball.

Trump on Ukraine:

"I think I have the power to end this war. And I think it's going very well. But today I heard, 'Oh well we weren't invited.' Well you've been there for three years. You should have ended it three years. You should've never started it. You could've made a deal"
