Fuck vote blue no matter who. If all this madness isn't enough to get the Democrats to field a candidate who can support trans rights and be against genocide they're telling me they don't want my vote and I'm happy to oblige.

I'm not voting for a more polite Trump. Full stop.

Excellent article by Michigan Daily. They set up the context and motivation of our movement so well: www.michigandaily.com/news/adminis...

Over 140 employees at the National Science Foundation have taken the rare step of signing a letter warning the Trump admin is gutting the agency, slashing budgets, firing staff, and sabotaging science from within. All but one name is redacted out of fear of retaliation.

It can be scary, especially in this political climate, when artists who embraced the lesbian identity exchange the label for queer or bi. The conversation around it, including from the artists themselves, can make it feel like the lesbian identity is some sort of trap, … (1/2)

Feel like I need to post something goofy and silly to offset the bad vibes of the current executive branch. Say hello to my friends Goofy and Silly

They shut down USAID (effectively). They should not be able to shut down USAID. Why are they being allowed to shut down USAID.

Lutheran in scare quotes is an interesting choice in addition to Lutheran Social Services, other Lutheran orgs like Thrivent Financial manage $179bn in AUM of retirement funds, disability income, insurance for 2.5M people on a non profit basis is all of that money laundering now?
Lutheran Social Services is one of the largest employers in South Dakota, operating senior living facilities across the state. Republicans are shutting it down

Perhaps more concerning is Mike Flynn, known foreign asset, having access to this data?

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion
The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

This isn’t a provable fact but it really feels like the only reason Trump cares about TikTok (or anything, for that matter) is that has the potential to benefit him personally.

Ann Arbor voted to allow for a Sustainable Energy Utility. My advisor, Johanna Mathieu, is collaborating with the city to realize it: www.smartcitiesdive.com/news/ann-arb...
A Michigan city’s ‘sustainable energy utility’ got the green light from voters. What now?
By creating a supplemental utility that will focus on scaling up rooftop solar, battery storage and microgrids, Ann Arbor, Michigan, is taking its clean energy future into its own hands.
