I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion
The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

This entire Trump shitcoin episode is a metaphor for the next four years: blatant corruption met with little pushback from our institutions, while the mainstream media fails to hold him accountable.

Do not normalize this corruption. Do not normalize Trump.

The Daily Mail has never been pro-British- it has always been pro-fascist.

The Daily Mail is owned by the 4th Viscount Rothermere, passed on from 3rd, 2nd & 1st Viscounts. It’s been a tool of hereditary power & privilege undermining our democracy.

Musk & Trump excite them to take their mask off.

Right-wingers are not coming to this platform for any reason other than to be obnoxious trolls to people who just want to be left alone. They are not here for any useful or constructive purpose. They only want to tear down and insult. It’s all they know. It’s how they live.
