Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.
I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

We have the timidity of countless corporate and university GCs to thank for the fact DEI is treated as though it were illegal.
lol gentle reminder that DEI is not illegal. Supporting marginalized groups is not illegal. Anyone reneging on support is making a CHOICE to do so.

A perfect summary of conservative idiocy. Glorifying authoritarian post-communism for its efficiency while vilifying democracy for seeking nuance and respect.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.
This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

Dear Google, does Tylenol cause Autism?
While earlier descriptions of autism-like behaviors exist, autism was first definitively identified as a unique clinical syndrome in 1943 by psychiatrist Leo Kanner.
Tylenol was invented in 1955 by McNeil Laboratories.

Milhoan is now indicating that since COVID19 vaccines don’t always prevent infection, it’s not effective.
The COVID19 vaccine prevents hospitalization and death very effectively. One might argue that this is an important fact.
