There are great conferences and science in the US, but with the way things are right now, it’s too risky to attend.

🚨 The Greater Cleveland Food Bank lost 20 truckloads—2 million dollars' worth—of emergency food this week due to Trump admin cuts. That’s a million pounds of food gone. Hosts of the “Today in Ohio” podcast are calling it out: this is either incompetence or deliberate cruelty.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

Here are some numbers. Please share far and wide. Legislators are benefiting from their own tax policy while cutting benefits and services we paid for.

BOOM!! Democrat Ken Jenkins trounced Trump-endorsed Republican Christine Sculti in yesterday’s special election for Westchester County Executive. With all election districts tallied, Jenkins led by 63.6% to 36.4%, a 27.2-point margin that was much larger than expected.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
