Talk like this should galvanize those who care about freedom.
I think it's very important to note that when you want to run human misery like a business--a business based on rounding up people to ship them to a country they aren't from to work in forced labor camps--you're a slaver.

I didn't know if it's true, but I like it 😆
In Nigeria, "maga" is a slang term that refers to someone who is gullible or easily deceived, often in the context of scams or trickery. It is commonly used in conversations about fraud, particularly in relation to internet scams. Yes, share.

Really great (and horrifying) conversation between @chrislhayes.bsky.social & @jeremykonyndyk.bsky.social on #WITHpod today. Everyone should listen to really understand what USAID does and what's happening.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

This is called fraudulent accounting, and it’s what Trump was found criminally guilty of by a New York court.
Trump Administration may be on track to put its thumb on critical GDP data: “Doing so could potentially complicate or distort a fundamental measure of the U.S. economy’s health.” Via AP.

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats.

One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

The people in power intend to completely annihilate scientific infrastructure, capacity, & research in the US. No institution will be spared if its mission is to advance science.

Everyone is already a target, whether you speak up or not. So, institutions, consider speaking up.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

(For those who care, she did correct her to in her next post 😉)
It would be interesting if some brave journalists would ask Marco Rubio weather he stands by his 2020 SSCI report co-authored with Mark Warner on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election rollcall.com/2020/08/18/s...
