If you want a meritocracy you have to address the fact that a lot of people are born on third base and keep claiming they hit a triple. If wealth is based just on merit, how do you explain the poverty rates in MS and LA being highest in the nation?

If you care about science & higher ed in America right now, your world has changed.

We have been forced into a battle we didn’t choose.

Scientists, as well as bureaucrats.

This is the head of OMB, folks. He coauthored Project 2025. This is the playbook we are seeing with the attacks on DEI efforts, on healthcare, on NSF and NIH funding.

They want us out of the way so they can destroy many institutions and resegregate the rest.

The notion of the incorruptible self-financed politician is the new "we need to run the country like a business"

Explain it like I'm 5. They want to exclude children of undocumented people from citizenship because of the "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" clause. I don't think that they really want to say these people aren't subject to their jurisdiction. Is it really that marvelously idiotic?

I know there were protests across the US today. I see images and video from people I know personally. I also know I don't see it being reported on the major news sites. The media is kneeling when we need them to stand

As someone who works in regional food systems, let me say that it's a good time to purchase a good pantry full of rice, beans, and other nutritious shelf stable foods. Start a garden if you can, and get to know your neighbors.

We really are going to have to stop using the phrase "in a move some have called illegal". Allow me to suggest "as we would expect, this administration tries to pull some more fascist bullshit." Any phrases you would suggest as alternatives?

While we are all being certain to remember the heroism, dedication, and sacrifice of the Tuskegee airmen, let us also remember the horrors of racism applied to African Americans also in Tuskegeee. We cannot allow this country to go backwards. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskege...
