This isn't just an attack on scientific research. It's an attack on *scientists.*

Central to Trump's "Revolution of Common Sense" is the idea that scientists impede progress in pursuit of political goals.

This move -- Telegraphed in Project 2025 -- upends life for those who depend on NIH funding.

If you have Billions of £/$/€/etc please use this time to hire as many people as possible at the highest possible wage in order to create a business which has the sole function of selling something everyone uses with a profit/loss margin of as close to 0% as possible.And if you make money hire more.

@aoc.bsky.social Please put yourself forward for the leader of the Democratic Party?

It seems plain to everyone that the Democrats don’t appeal to the poor/not-educated…BUT:

It’s not about political parties,
It’s about money.

The Rich don’t want to make poor people rich because then they cannot control them.

The Rich need you to believe you too can be rich if you follow them.

Am I really the one to say it, "The US Police System is Broken and should be completely re-created".

I'm no one.

I am not a public servant.

I am not a wealthy person.

I am not a politician or scholar.

I have the gift of observation.

This thing of "democracy + capitalism", doesn't work very well.

I've asked economists and rocket scientists if they had any good ideas?

I doubt my own sanity.

Why do we, forcibly, agree to continue to passively accept the horrific burden of an 18th century ideal.

FFS. We have electricity!
