Happy Mother's Day, y'all!
A few years ago I created this absurdly over-the-top fever dream of a medley. A stream-of-consciousness Mother's Day tribute through music and lyrics.
80 bits from 70 songs by 50 artists woven into a 16-minute musical journey. Enjoy!

Massive, Unarchivable Datasets of Cancer, Covid, and Alzheimer's Research Could Be Lost Forever
Days before Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that 10,000 HHS staffers would lose their jobs, a message appeared on NIH research repository sites saying they were "under review."

Where are our weasels?
Weasels are so sneaky – how would you know if their populations were stable or on the decline?
To lure weasels in we did a test to figure out what their favorite food is, check out the result here.

Some of the purges have nothing to do with DEI, but are Stalinist removals of disfavored officials. At DOD, Mark Esper and Mark Milley had their portraits removed.

Trump is whitewashing American history, removing not just people, but also the stories, images, and values to anyone who does not conform to his impoverished vision of America.

Not the party of free speech...
Trump demands Rachel Maddow and Nicolle Wallace be “forced to resign” for exposing his hypocrisy—slashing cancer research while using a sick child for a PR stunt. Praising a kid while gutting the programs that saved him isn’t leadership—it’s a disgrace.

Remember who your true enemies are.
The enemy is the fossil fuel industry.
The enemy is the billionaire who paid for right wing propaganda & misinformation.
The enemy is not your fellow working class people who fell for that misinformation.
When the working class tears itself apart, the rich win.

Privatization is NOT good for everything!
If you privatized USPS, rural postage rates would probably triple and all the rural post offices would close.
