When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

All kidding aside, the reason he is doing this is to establish some kind of culpability by @profgalloway.com and I. We never threatened these people but it is all in service of getting his supporters to think we did. It’s not a random tweet — all planned for a larger effort to silence us or worse.

Never forget that in 14 days, multiple federal agencies have been dismantled, and our systems of healthcare, education, environment, civil rights, and technology have all been dramatically overhauled. But we still have to worry about our kids being shot in school because of “the constitution.”

Sure, the original #StarWars introduces the Rebel Alliance and the individualist heroes who will lead the struggle against intergalactic domination — but #TheEmpireStrikesBack's dark denouement is more in tune with 2025, when the ultra-right-wing is seemingly in ascendance everywhere bit.ly/3Q1tA7F

A witch hunt has begun at the FBI. Employees are required to provide information by Tuesday and are being encouraged to report on their coworkers. The FBI questionnaire asks agents about their roles in various cases, including whether they made arrests or appeared in court, among other details.

The breach extends further, giving Musk’s associates access to systems related to employee onboarding, job performance reviews, and healthcare management. This raises serious concerns about potential violations of federal privacy laws, including those protecting health information under HIPAA.

Didn't Clarence Thomas say in his Dobbs judgment that the Supreme Court should revisit Obergefell v Hodges (the gay marriage case), Griswold v Connecticut (right to use contraceptives) and Lawrence v Texas (decriminalisation of sodomy)? This Idaho case is just the beginning.

What Elon Musk’s Salute Was All About
A gesture associated with the Nazis has a surprising history. But in Germany, there was little doubt about its meaning.

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.
