Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

With a few days distance from this event, it reeks even worse.
If government data just becomes propaganda and the leader gets to make up whatever numbers he wants, it becomes impossible for a democracy to function. This is not a small moment.

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale

Remember how Trump said he "sent the military in and opened up the water flow" in CA? It appears he forced the Army Corps to just drain reservoirs into recently flooded farmland without telling local farmers or leaders. “In 25 years, I’ve never seen anything like this.”
