This is not an exaggeration: illegally gutting this program will cause Americans to freeze to death in their homes.

Red, White and Blue. The American Flag in one perspective.

But, in another, Bloods, Crips and the Klan.

And in another -- White is purity, religious, sacred-- very Daughters of the Dust.

It all depends on who holds the power and their intent.

Wow: "our screening analysis demonstrates that driven by the growing demand for AI, the U.S. data centers could contribute to, among others, approximately 600,000 asthma symptom cases and 1,300 premature deaths in 2030, exceeding 1/3 of asthma deaths in the U.S. each year."

My latest.

As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality.

I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI.

Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation.

So this is how this DOJ will operate. Actions and beliefs are deemed CRIMINAL if they are not in line with this Administration’s beliefs and platform.There is no criminal penalty for supporting or even continuing to apply DEIA principles.This is a muscle job. Corporations must stiffen their spines.

You say: they shutdown USAID.

You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

If this administration reminds of nothing else, it makes clear something I say all the time: race is the central organizing feature of American politics and American life. Nothing else comes close.

These fools can’t even talk about a tragic plane crash without talking about “DEI.”

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

NSF grantees - people who have already received their grants based on a previously funded and approved research proposal - are being told to stop any activities related to DEI and accessibility.
Call this what it is: government censorship of ongoing research projects.

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them.

But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

our story so far: maga, having planned for this moment for years, consolidates power and stacks the bureaucracy with loyalists. meanwhile, the opposition party seems befuddled by the entire current situation and considers thinking about someday planning a response of some sort.

I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously.

Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause."

They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.
NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs.

Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

The question, as always with Trump, is NOT, "Is it illegal?"

The question is this: who will STOP him?

Asking whether or not it is legal is about 12 steps behind with Trump. Who will enforce this? What are the consequences to everyday people?

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

I had some small hope that they're more incompetent than they are hateful, but that was naïve of me. They're clearly more organized this time around. These executive orders are terrifying.

They are complicit.
“The New York Times went with ‘Elon Musk Ignites Online Speculation Over the Meaning of a Hand Gesture.’ The Washington Post opted for ‘Elon Musk gives exuberant speech at inauguration.’ Some local TV stations even cut their footage right before the first and most obvious salute.”
