(S+) Sadisten-Netzwerk um »White Tiger«: Wie ein FBI-Agent an der Hamburger Polizei verzweifelte

Thinking about that quote from Battlestar Galactica a lot these days:
"There's a reason why you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state.
The other serves and protects the people.
When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."

They're cancelling publishers because of woke.
No matter how you feel about academic publishers, this is part of the bigger pattern of the 🇺🇸 federal government attacking academics and research.
I am guessing subscriptions was so government employees at NIH, NSF, and others could do their work.

The proposed NASA budget would end already-operating #planetsci missions to Mars, Jupiter, asteroids, and “kill off nearly every major science mission the agency has not yet begun building” including those to Venus, Mars and Uranus. Monitoring climate change on Earth would also be hit hard. ☀️🧪⚛️
President Donald Trump’s administration is seeking to throttle the scientific ambitions of #NASA, prematurely ending a host of active missions in orbit studying Earth and other planets, while also ending the agency’s work to develop their successors. scim.ag/4kmAX7n

President Trump's nominee to head NASA, Jared Isaacman, really really really really really did not want to admit that Elon Musk was in his meeting with Trump, when Isaacman was offered the NASA post. This ranks up there as some of the worst testimony that I have ever seen on Capitol Hill.
