Yes. And also it’s true that science as a hegemony, a worldview, a technique of power has a whole lot to answer for. Let’s don’t pretend that there isn’t untrustworthy stuff that is happening/has happened long before and independent of our current flavor of antiscience grift.
I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles.
Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

WHY ARE YOU USING THEM IF YOU THINK THEY ARE UNETHICAL?!??
I find these results infuriating, to be honest with you.
58% of the respondents say they are using AI tools in their work.
Far, far, far fewer believe these tools are ethically developed or trustworthy.
SO WHY ARE YOU USING THE DAMN THINGS?

Cruelty is the point. The city I live in will shoulder disproportionate harm related to this cut and that sucks. Food is health. Food is a human right. Cutting food support is a far-reaching form of violence.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Again, I'm in the cheap seats here just watching the show, but the fact that the richest Americans are acting with such open contempt for the rest of the nation seems not just bad for the country but possibly *really* bad for their own fates too.
They're making a different bet now, it seems.

the kids are alright
Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.
When books were being pulled from Iowa classrooms, these teens started an after-school club to read them

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.
