As a Fulbright Scholar, I am disheartened by the trumpian interference in one of our most successful international programs. Fulbright scholarships have been largely free of political intereference until now. The dismantiling of American science and scholarship continues without regard to our laws.
The Fulbright Scholarship board resigned due to political interference from the Trump administration. The State Department, led by Marco Rubio, is canceling scholarships for nearly 200 American professors and researchers based on their research topics, which include climate change, gender, and race.

The board of the prestigious program told the State Department it had no right to cancel scholarships for nearly 200 American professors and researchers.

I just declared a peacetime emergency to ensure we’re providing every possible resource for those fighting the wildfires in Minnesota.

As fires remain active up north, I’m grateful for the tireless work and coordinated response of those on the frontlines.

The very definition of evil is incarcerating for life in one of the worst hellholes on Earth men who did everything right.

But it’s beyond evil—beyond demonic—to then not try to do anything to save the men you consigned to Hell, *and* to in fact libel and slander them daily when they cannot reply.

This is happening in the UK, not the US.

Fascism, misogyny & the desire to control women’s bodies is on the rise everywhere.

Stop using period tracker apps. Consider a permanent form of birth control if you’re sure you don’t want kids. Be discrete with your reproductive health.
"Police have been issued guidance on how to search women’s homes for abortion drugs and check their phones for menstrual cycle tracking apps after unexpected pregnancy loss"

"...police could bypass legal requirements for a court order to obtain medical records..."

A senior advisor to the President said they were considering suspending Habeus Corus, and it barely made a blip.

How the fuck did we get here?

No, like most fascists they're fully aware of what they're doing and believe it to be a moral and rational course. Evil isn't mustache twirling, its assholes who think they're right.

I lost my job, my wife has been deported, and I'm out of toilet paper. But at least I know that now my kids will learn that slavery wasn't really that bad.
