The DEI purge at the Pentagon is White Supremacy.

The dismantling of the Dept of Education is Christian Nationalism.

The rampage by the kids in DOGE is just petty dumbfuckery.

"Appeasement at Munich: World Wars, Past and Possible"
The symmetry between Germany-Czechoslovakia in 1938 and Russia-Ukraine in 2022 is uncanny, and pausing for a moment on the resemblances might help us to take a broader view of today.

This is the new McCarthyism. And this time, the Witch Hunt will be automated.
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

God I can’t handle this for much longer. The exhaustion is exponentially larger with each ‘something’
STEP 1: Donald does something stupid.

STEP 2: Donald is surprised there are consequences.

STEP 3: Donald backs down.

STEP 4: Donald lies, claiming things already agreed to are new concessions he forced by the stupid thing he did.

STOP 5: REPEAT

I knew decimating Higher Ed was the plan, but I didn’t have student loans would be 1st on the chopping block. This is DEVASTATING! Last week was tough on campus, it looks as if this week will be worse!
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.

This is what Washington State gets from NIH funding.
January 23, 2025 at 12:05 AM
This move is beyond stupid!
Scientific advancements aside, this is economically irresponsible

Every $1 spent by NIH generates $2.46

For example, in 2023, $47B in NIH spending generated ~$93B

Halting NIH spending will LOSE the US a lot of money (and talent)

hey Trump, I hear winter coats are for sissies. Make sure you show how tough you are during inauguration by not wearing one during the inauguration? Trust me, it’ll be wild! Nothing like that has been done in over 180 years!

Look I’m not saying ALL of this is the history channel’s fault, but back when they used to show actual history to the actual public, things were kind of okay and now it’s just a bunch of weirdos shouting about conspiracy theories and crazy reality shows and wellll…
