This is terrible.

The Trump administration not only fired Coast Guard Admiral Linda Fagan, but a Trump official told her she had only three hours to vacate her house.

Don’t ever tell me Republicans support the military.

I love this time of year because people will post something super dramatic and vague like “Nooooooo” and I can’t tell if it’s about football or *gestures outside window* all of this.

the one idea i've found funny since i was probably five years old, and continue to find exquisitely funny, is the idea of someone from england stepping out of a boat onto the shore of north america and going "damn... this looks like Hampshire... this is, like... the new hampshire"

Deadpool is a weird character to point to for this but...

Most of the people I know who are making space for others, who are fighting tooth and nail, say fuck a lot. Superhero movies will have you believe otherwise, but the reality is, if someone accentuates with curse words, I'm weirdly reassured.

Yesterday, ICE raided a business in New Jersey and detained both citizens and non-citizens — without a warrant. They even detained a U.S. military veteran.

Nobody is safe.

Watching them debate the missing indigenous persons act in Montana and the representative Schubert just called it a "woke DEI program."

Thankfully his amendment to kill it failed tremendously, with most of his party siding against him.

HELL YEAH! Congressman Jim McGovern TORE Speaker Mike Johnson a new for saying it wasn’t “his place” to question Trump’s January 6 pardon.

“Not your place?? WHO THE HELL’S PLACE IS IT?” He said.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
