I probably should do something else besides laugh for a minute straight at the Trump administration firing the workers who manage the nuclear stockpile and being unable to figure out how to rehire them, but that's all i got right now

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit
Incredible: Russ Vought’s daughter has cystic fibrosis and benefits from a “miracle drug” made possible by the National Institutes of Health—an agency Vought now aims to gut as part of the Project 2025 attack www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Democrats are being weak.

Just like they were weak on not passing Build Back Better.

Just like they were weak on not codifying Roe when they had the majority.

It’s time for new party leadership at the federal level.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Musician here:
Apparently it’s impossible to teach 6th graders about relative minors, now, without somebody quoting Kendrick. Then someone asked, “why are adults called ‘adults’ and not ‘majors?’” ..To which I had no good answer.

Democrats should be staging rallies and townhalls in light red GOP districts with their best communicators with an emphasis on education.

Reach out to voters. Let them know what’s going on.

Americans don’t need Sen. Schumer chanting “we will win” in DC.

Bad news and good news. Bad things are happening, but we can clearly see that now. The veil has been lifted, which gives us an opportunity to make informed choices. We can educate ourselves, act, create, PLAN, and love our neighbors. (No need to waste energy arguing with others.) We can do this.

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.
