It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

While the administration has said it is cutting “woke programs” that “poison the minds of Americans", it actually funded fewer grants in every area of science and medicine.

“They brought everything to a stop,” said Sarah Kobrin, a branch chief at the N.I.H.’s National Cancer Institute
The U.S. Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of Science and Medicine (Gift Article)
A quiet policy change means the government is making fewer bets on long-term science.

Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

I think this is the best piece I've read so far about the large number of elites who basically can't deal with the situation we are in. it doesn't compute and they keep hunting for an exit that doesn't exist

If one party is not brave enough to truly say that religion has no place in public policy, we are going to be fighting a losing battle against theocracy.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

A life lesson learned from our daughter.

Live life like it’s LEGO. It’s never really broken. It can be rebuilt. And most times the next version is better.

The pretexts for these paramilitary takeovers don’t matter

They’re lies

Don’t buy into their narrative

They’re normalizing military takeovers

That should be the opposing narrative, not crime rates which let them steer the conversation

WE should steer it
What they’re doing is unacceptable

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

The retirement money of public employees is invested in firms run by Thiel, Andreesen, DOGE goons, and others who are trying to destroy the public sector. We can stop doing that.

There are 11 two-party consent states in the US: CA, DE, FL, IL, MA, MD, MI, MO, NH, PA, & WA.

If you’re in one of these states and meet someone wearing these stupid glasses, say: “You do not have my permission to record and are in violation of state law. Please stop & delete all recordings of me.”
