As someone who experienced threats and harassment from armed extremists for over a decade, I have empathy for anyone who feels afraid of retaliation for free speech. But at the end of the day, we all must make a choice: back down or double down.

This is a freaking mess. The regional climate centers are incredibly vital in helping communities use weather and climate data for so many specific regional needs.
Oh no! Several of the Regional Climate Centers have had their funding lapse through DOC/NOAA. These institutes are critical for connecting weather and climate data and services to local communities across the United States.
Spread the word to drive attention and support!

"He's going to run the government like his business!"
Yes, exactly.
Yes, exactly.
Tesla stock has lost one-third of its value since Trump became president and Musk became whatever he is now.
The company was worth $1.35 TRILLION dollars then. It's worth $929 Billion now. That's a loss of $421 billion

This happened the same day the Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee rick-rolled their base over the Epstein Files.
Almost seems like a deliberate effort to troll the rubes who believed them.

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.
Andrew Tate and His Brother Are Said to Leave Romania for the U.S.
Andrew and Tristan Tate, the online influencers, are facing investigations in Romania and Britain, including accusations of human trafficking and sex crimes.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”
There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

If you are scared to protest now, remember: this is the easiest it will ever be. Life under dictatorships is pure hell & lasts for decades, probably the rest of your lives if you don’t stop them now. Read about Iran, Syria, Afghanistan – sooner or later you have to overthrow them. Choose sooner. #3E

Meta's moderation rollback sparks celebration and despair
Some Republicans celebrated the move, which they framed as a result of their long-fought war against social media censorship. Fact-checking groups were blindsided.
