In my years of covering internet culture I’ve always tried to impress upon people that social media algorithms + audiences actively incentivize and reward behavior and people that are almost comically evil and stupid. Anyways now that culture is running the country

The White House budget office has ordered a pause in grants, loans and other federal financial assistance, according to a memo sent to government agencies on Monday, potentially paralyzing a vast swath of programs and jeopardizing spending that Congress has mandated by law.
White House Budget Office Orders Pause in All Federal Loans and Grants
The full extent of the order was not immediately clear, but the directive sent to government agencies on Monday threatened to paralyze a vast swath of federal programs.

They…turned off…National Institutes of Health grants? That’s nearly $50 billion of scientific research.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Hey @aoc.bsky.social - I hope you’re planning to make hay with this ridiculous $TRUMP/$MELANIA grift.

MSM won’t because they’re cowed and/or don’t understand.

I would start with a simple explainer of the act of daylight robbery.
