As I wrote yesterday, It's when you assemble the whole picture that you have to raise the question if the intention is to destroy this country and whether this country is in fact being destroyed. Here's some more destruction.

This is why libraries are under attack right now. They put everyone and all ideas in one place on a level playing field. They are community hubs for all. They must be destroyed because the idea of sharing public space with those you disagree with or who are different from you is anathema to MAGA.
🎯 Cross cutting traditional social cleavages (bridging social capital) in service of shared values, which in turn makes the society/community harder to divide and conquer. That’s why.
Just remember Angelenos are out there FOR THEIR NEIGHBORS. That's what frightens the scepter and orb.

Authoritarians love "Gen AI" because it

- Broadly conforms to & reproduces their biases, off the shelf
- Lets them create bespoke realities (text, audio, moving & still image) which agree w/ their biases
- Degrades trust in knowledge/evidence/expertise…

Hi! Are you a US researcher who spent time thinking about humans? Then your work is in danger of censorship and loss. I'm here to walk you through basic self-archiving.

Maybe you think I am being hyperbolic. You only worked on bacteria! Not your problem. Do me a favor and join me anyway.

NIH scientists have a cancer breakthrough. Layoffs are delaying it.
A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed.

In its own way, this is as damaging as what is happening at NIH, CDC, USAID, elsewhere. Even tariffs.

It's the Cultural Revolution. Year Zero.

And GOP grins and claps.
NEW — After putting all Institute of Museum & Library Services (IMLS) employees on administrative leave Monday, I'm told DOGE is canceling congressionally-appropriated grants to state libraries across the entire country. Libraries are getting notice that funding was canceled as of 4/1.

One of the things that's really hobbling older liberal leadership, Bernie included, is this reflex they have to show broad mindedness by using a kind of corporate version of Rogerian argument, where you always begin by acknowledging common ground or points of agreement you share with your opponent
