They are constantly witnessing and living death. It surrounds them. They are drowning in it. There are more ways to die in Gaza than there are to live.

The Supreme Court Just Imperiled the Rights — and Lives — of All Trans People
The court let a military trans ban go into effect — potentially setting a precedent to accept the anti-trans myth behind Trump’s executive order.

Not surprising that an administration that rose to power on the spread of bullshit and propaganda is terminating the funding of researchers studying these phenomena. We are just receiving word about funding cancellations re: existing grants to members of our team and our colleagues.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is terminating a bunch of research funding. Much of this is in line with the goal of making sure nothing gets in the way of systemic racism and sexism, but they also explicitly target research on "misinformation/disinformation."

Emoluments clause? What emoluments clause?
Between NFTs, memecoins and a Bitcoin mining project, the president’s family has made $1 billion from crypto.
Some would consider it a conflict of interest that the president is both a crypto billionaire and has scaled back regulation of crypto. While they’d be right, that doesn’t matter these days
