It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out.

They gut the FAA.
Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted.
Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

My feed is overwhelmed with scientists right now calling out the catastrophic consequences of the NIH indirect cost order from last night. If those same people aren't also speaking out against the anti-trans, anti-DEI, anti-immigrant orders...we are lost. The only path forward is solidarity.

Okay, made a starter pack of people working in children’s and young adult literature (though possibly I missed the starter pack wave already)! Almost certainly missed some people, so let me know if you’d like to be added or, of course, removed #yalit #kidlit #mglit

The paper that broke Watergate is too chickenshit to endorse a presidential candidate? How times have changed.
