It's hard to say this, but science (& research more generally) is just being **stopped** in the US right now. This is just one university, losing nearly a billion dollars in project funding pretty much overnight. That's people's jobs & the research that could save lives.

Guess losing $150 billion got under the old boy's skin. No surprise, he's responding by throwing around tired old conspiracy theories meant to intimidate and discredit us. Guess we better make #teslatakedown so big no one can hear him over our noise! And lol he's signing his tweets now?

NEW: I've obtained internal Meta docs revealing an array of sample posts that are now allowed under new hate speech rules. Examples include calling children "trannies," “Jews are flat out greedier than Christians," and “immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of shit”

As someone who spent years reporting on Zuckerberg, I've struggled to find something coherent to say about today. Then @cwarzel.bsky.social reminded me of my old reporting.

This is what a FB employee said to me in 2020 after Zuckerberg addressed workers following FB-enabled violence in Kenosha, WI.

Aura, you’re amazing and Mother Jones in making a huge mistake by laying you off right as the administration changes. I’m so sorry. And Mother Jones, whew. Very short sighted.
I was unexpectedly laid off from @motherjones.com on Friday the 13th. I’ve been deprived of direct access to my Google Drive, which contains seven years worth of work. I am also ineligible for unemployment. This is a terrible Christmas for me and my family.

If you have leads for work, pls lmk.

FTC's 2 Dems Slaughter and Bedoya to Trump's chair Ferguson: You "promise allowing more mergers, firing civil servants, and fighting something called 'the trans agenda.' Is all of that more important than the cost of healthcare and groceries and gasoline? Or fighting fraud?"
