Evil has never been presented as evil. It always puts on the false cloak of goodness and morality, and does evil things

Unreal. DOGE posted National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) headcounts.

NRO budgets and headcounts are classified to prevent adversaries from using them to extrapolate our intelligence priorities.

Stop giving kids who don’t know what the fuck they’re doing access to this shit.

Costco shareholders just sent a clear message: DEI is here to stay.

Attempts to roll back progress were crushed—because diversity isn’t a ‘risk,’ it’s a strength. 🔥

So, keep the $1.50 hotdogs coming 🌭

Gaslighting is the entire GOP playbook. From ‘biggest crowd ever’ to ‘normal tourist visit,’ they’re betting you’ll ignore reality. If we allow them to keep rewriting history, they’ll keep burning the truth to the ground.

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.

The tactic is that the GOP creates the crazy dialogue and sticks to it. Anything off the party line gets drowned out.
"There are roughly 510,000 NCAA athletes. And, according to the president of the NCAA, there are fewer than 10 trans athletes *total*. Even if all of these efforts to 'protect' women’s sports were in good faith, this would still be a solution in search of a problem."
Texas sues to impose bigotry on the rest of the country
Ken Paxton's lawsuit against the NCAA is a glorified Fox News segment.
