I‘ve been listening to Sarah Marshall’s The Devil You Know and it’s so great. She knows this stuff inside out and weaves a tale of so many subjects; the satanic panic (duh), evangelicalism, the patriarchy, media, so much more. Highly recommend.

I know there are many of you on here who've dealt with this.
Scientists: have you been the target of an online harassment campaign, doxxing, or weaponized FOIA requests? I'd like to talk to you about steps you had to take to protect your digital security for an upcoming Nature story. (You can be anonymous if necessary.)
RTs appreciated.

I cannot imagine what could possibly go wrong in trying to court-martial an astronaut and pilot decorated multiple times for valor and exceptional service, who is also a sitting senator, for correctly making the point that service members are obliged not to follow unlawful orders
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

We cannot depend on the NYT or WP or CNN to stand up to Trump, they care more about access than doing hard work and good journalism these days.

Showing/ explaining your work is one way for fact based news media to regain credibility with an audience that has been blasted with right wing lies about fake news. THIS is what journalists do. It's not vibes, it's not opinion, it's FACTS.

I am once again saying that we saw what wall to wall, panic coverage of a crisis looked like after the Biden debate and there’s no reason Trump isn’t getting that kind of coverage except for class solidarity.
So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

And then all the party veterans get together and pull on their beards and write a memo that says in essence “be cautious and leave social attacks unanswered” without acknowledging that’s the play they run every time they lose.

The statement - "we have both legalized and tolerated Trump's crimes, so they will only get bigger" - is exactly true and is why it was so important to prosecute Jan 6 all the way to the top. To seek the organizers and not just the useful idiots. What's happening this year was foreseen in 2021. 1/
A president who can tear down 1/3 of the White House can tear down the entire White House. A president who can steal $230M from the treasury can steal $1T from the Treasury. We have both legalized and tolerated Trump’s crimes, so they will only get bigger.

I know we’re all desperate for a way out of the dynamic of fascist republicans and neville chamberlain democrats but anyone that ignored the warning signs needs to step back and get their head on straight. Working for Blackwater isn’t an oopsie, just like getting and keeping a nazi tattoo isn’t.
Marine to GI Bill is normal. Not ideal but the material incentives are there for a reason. Going back for more Army, suspect. Being "called" to service in Blackwater after that?
