The public’s capacity to hold the military & its civilian ldrs accountable is a core principle of democratic control of the military.
If Pentagon reporters can’t do their jobs, citizens won‘t have info they need to do their part
Which may be the point here.

Re-upping: if you work at EPA, NOAA, FEMA, NIH, CDC, USDA or other agencies that involve really any sort of science in their work, and you have something you want the public to know, I would always love to hear from you. Signal is davelevitan.26 and you can remain anonymous.
Hey is it good that FEMA is suspending employees that warned publicly that the agency isn't ready to manage disasters with the peak of hurricane season two weeks away
'A lot of folks are terrified': FEMA joins EPA in retaliation against dissenting staff
The result of all that is an obvious chilling of the federal workforce's speech.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

An overlooked demographic has the highest suicide risk — and it’s been rising
The people most at risk from suicide aren’t adolescents in angst or those experiencing a midlife lull, but men age 75 and older.

NEW: In an unprecedented move, the NIH will soon disinvite dozens of scientists about to take positions on advisory councils that make final decisions on grant funding.
NIH staff were told to select others aligned with the Trump administration and told to expect placements by political appointees.

Exclusive: NIH to dismiss dozens of grant reviewers to align with Trump priorities
The move would undo years of work, leaving advisory councils understaffed, and without the full expertise needed for reviews.

Until they resign, they own everything he does- withdraw from GAVI, fake citations, measles quackery.

Trump's stated motive for tariffs is to bring manufacturing back to the US. Critics have said that will never happen because labor isn't cheap here. Meanwhile, Trump is building more prisons and detaining people as fast as he can. We do have free/cheap labor in the US. This was always the plan.

Dear Ms.: A Revolution in Print is an honest examination of the legacy and pitfalls of the iconic magazine, including its centrality of white feminism. But, I'd like to see more films, both docs and narratives, that tell the stories of woc journalists. These revisits of history have been very white.
