most journalists are getting their news filtered by fascists

if centre-left political parties had all moved off twitter 6 months ago, we'd be in such a stronger place right now

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP.

The Wall Street Journal had a piece last night that the Judicial Conference of the United States — the policy making body for the federal judiciary — is discussing whether the Judiciary should have its own armed security force rather than rely on the U.S. Marshals for federal judges’ protection.

This is corruption we need to talk more about. Brad Smith is a billionaire, runs healthcare for DOGE, & has a side business that sells services to Medicare & Medicaid. That means he decides who gets Medicaid & Medicare AND gets a tax cut.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

The U.S. is on track to have the worst whooping cough outbreak since 1948. Some regions are reporting that they are struggling to do contact tracing of cases because they are ALSO managing measles investigations.

And, of course, funding cuts to public health have resulted in fewer resources.

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is obviously real by the creation of this image. Unfortunately, MAGA followers are the ones suffering from this disorder. It is always projection with them. 😳

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky
Just received an email saying that it's not advisable to include the following words in future applications for research funding to the US DOT. Here we are.
